Understanding the nature of interactions between inorganic surfaces and biomolecules, such as amino acids and peptides, can enhance the development of new materials. Here, we present single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) measurements of the interactions between an atomic force microscopy (AFM) probe, modified with various amino acids, and a titanium dioxide surface. Specifically, we study the affinity of amino acids toward a titanium dioxide surface bearing hydrophobic (Leu), aromatic (Phe) and hydrophilic (Orn) residues. We find that aromatic interactions dominate over aliphatic in their affinity to the titanium dioxide surface. In addition, we show that by combining aromatic and hydrophilic moieties in a single amino acid (NH2-Phe), the adhesion of the latter to the surface increases. Furthermore, the affinity of positively charged amino acids to the titanium dioxide surface is higher than that of uncharged, and can be increased more, with elevating the pH of the buffer above the pKa of the basic residues. The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters imply that the dynamics of the surface–amino acid interface are mostly governed by hydrophobic interactions.

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.
