Abstract: | This study addresses the design of protein-repellent gold surfaces using hydroxyethyl- and ethyl(hydroxyethyl) cellulose (HEC and EHEC) and hydrophobically modified analogues of these polymers (HM-HEC and HM-EHEC). Adsorption behavior of the protein immunoglobulin G (IgG) onto pure gold and gold surfaces coated with cellulose polymers was investigated and described by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and contact angle measurements (CAM). Surfaces coated with the hydrophobically modified cellulose derivatives were found to significantly outperform a reference poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) coating, which in turn prevented 90% of non-specific protein adsorption as compared to adsorption onto pure gold. HEC and EHEC prevented around 30% and 60% of the IgG adsorption observed on pure gold, while HM-HEC and HM-EHEC were both found to completely hinder biofouling when deposited on the gold substrates. Adsorption behavior of IgG has been discussed in terms of polymer surface coverage and roughness of the applied surfaces, together with hydrophobic interactions between protein and gold, and also polymer-protein interactions. |
