In recent years, soft matter science, including biological systems and organic thin films, has received more and more attention for its extensive applications in medical and biotechnological fields, since many important biological processes are regulated at a membrane surface and interface. As the vital component of all living cells, a biological cell membrane acts as a reaction front for an immune response, cell metabolism and adherence, protein transfusion and other crucial life activities. Recently, our research focused on developing new ways to mimic, characterize, and understand the biologically active membrane at the air/water interface. Neutron and X-ray reflections, in particular, have been great important in the last decades for the study at the air/water and water/solid interfaces. In this talk, I would like to present the structural analysis of bio-fouling, and bio-adhesive surfaces, mimicking recognition, binding and penetration of proteins and peptides. |
