Area of Science:

  • Surface science and nanotechnology
  • Biomaterials engineering
  • Chemical engineering

Background:

  • Protein immobilization is crucial for surface functionalization in chemical engineering, healthcare, and diagnostics.
  • Layer-by-Layer (LbL) self-assembly is a common technique for immobilizing macromolecules, including proteins, onto surfaces via alternate adsorption of oppositely charged species.
  • Challenges exist in applying LbL to proteins due to their diverse properties, hindering the method's versatility and universality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze existing literature on protein immobilization using LbL self-assembly.
  • To develop a generalized approach for facilitating protein-LbL assembly with polyelectrolytes (PEs).
  • To provide guidance on selecting appropriate PEs and optimizing building conditions for successful protein-based multilayer formation.
