ADSORPTION OF LYSOZYME AND POLY-L- GLUTAMIC ACID ON NANOCARBONS FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION

摘要

In general, nanoporous solids have been focused on not only because of their applicability to various industrial fields but also their uniqueness due to nanospace they have. Molecules can interact strongly with nanopores, which induce a quasi-high pressure effect on the molecules, leading to their self-assembly structure formation and the acceleration of chemical reactions [1]. For example, water molecules form cluster consisting of 8 or 10 molecules on adsorption process on hydrophobic nanopores of activated carbon fibers at ambient temperature [2]. Also, ions indicate a specific hydration structure different from that of a bulk solution in the same nanopores [3,4]. And oxygen molecules form clusters with antiferromagnetic interaction at low temperature at the nanopores [5]. These nanoconfinment effects must donate novel and useful properties on biological systems.
