Overview

Considers the design, structure and biological activity of ordered films comprised of proteins, polymers, amphiphile molecules and colloidal particles, and assesses the ability of protein/polyion multilayers to mimic living organelles. The book discusses how to reach predetermined locations with proteins and orient molecules while preserving their bioactivity.

Reviews

. . .this is an excellent book that brings this discipline into focus and not only offers a review of principles and concepts on proteins and their organization in surfaces and interfaces, it offers a wealth of experiments and applications. The book accomplishes the goal of the editors, to provide researchers, students in academic institutions and those in industrial companies working on biomaterials, thin organized films, biosensors, protein immobilization and biocompatibility with a valuable source of information.
