By the aid of an atomic force microscope (AFM) and the colloid probe technique, the interaction forces between bovine serum albumin (BSA) layers adsorbed on different substrates (silica and polystyrene) have been measured directly as a function of pH and salt concentration. Electrostatic and steric forces dominate the interactions at low salt concentrations. At high salt concentrations, when electrostatic interactions are screened, a very strange behaviour is found as a function of pH. The behaviour around the i.e.p. of the protein is also very striking: the interaction is attractive at low salt concentration, but it is repulsive at high salt concentration. These results could be explained if the presence of hydration forces is assumed. Theoretical predictions including a hydration term in the DLVO theory fit the experimental results satisfactorily.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
