Abstract:
Drop profile analysis tensiometry used in the oscillating drop mode provides the dilational viscoelasticity of adsorption layers at liquid interfaces. Applied during the progress of adsorption the dynamic surface rheology can be monitored. For β-casein solutions at the same surface pressure values, the larger the dynamic dilational viscoelasticity the longer the adsorption time, i.e., the smaller the studied protein concentration is. For β-lactoglobulin and human serum albumin, the differences in the viscoelasticity values are less or not dependent on the adsorption time at identical surface pressures. The observed effects are caused by the flexibility of BCS, while the globular proteins BLG and HSA do not change their conformation significantly within the adsorption layer.

Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...
