Silica Nanoparticle Size Influences the Structure and Enzymatic Activity of Adsorbed Lysozyme
Abstract
Adsorption of chicken egg lysozyme on silica nanoparticles of various diameters has been studied. Special attention has been paid to the effect of nanoparticle size on the structure and function of the adsorbed protein molecules. Both adsorption patterns and protein structure and function are strongly dependent on the size of the nanoparticles. Formation of molecular complexes is observed for adsorption onto 4-nm silica. True adsorptive behavior is evident on 20- and 100-nm particles, with the former resulting in monolayer adsorption and the latter yielding multilayer adsorption. A decrease in the solution pH results in a decrease in lysozyme adsorption. A change of protein structure upon adsorption is observed, as characterized by a loss in alpha-helix content, and this is strongly dependent on the size of the nanoparticle and the solution pH. Generally, greater loss of alpha helicity was observed for the lysozyme adsorbed onto larger nanoparticles under otherwise similar conditions. The activity of lysozyme adsorbed onto silica nanoparticles is lower than that of the free protein, and the fraction of activity lost correlates well with the decrease in alpha-helix content. These results indicate that the size of the nanoparticle, perhaps because of the contributions of surface curvature, influences adsorbed protein structure and function.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
