Biomolecules at Interfaces

Tuesday, November 9, 2010: 8:30 AM
Grand Ballroom J (Salt Palace Convention Center)

Description:
This session welcomes contributions describing experiment and theory for a wide range of surface properties resulting from biomolecular functionalization. Relevant topics include: protein adsorption, biological forces and adhesion, biomembranes, transport of biomolecules across interfaces, changes in biomolecule conformation induced by interfaces, and interfacial engineering for applications such as biosensing, biomedical materials development, and bioseparations.
