Self-assembly of TMAO at hydrophobic interfaces and its effect on protein adsorption : insights from experiments and simulations

We offer a novel process to render hydrophobic surfaces resistant to relatively small proteins during adsorption. This was accomplished by self-assembly of a well-known natural osmolyte, trimethylamine oxide (TMAO), a small amphiphilic molecule, on a hydrophobic alkanethiol surface. Measurements of...
