Interfacial Structure Determination

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The understanding of biomolecule structure at the nanoparticle interface is critical for the design of sensors containing nanoparticles and biological recognition elements. While many inorganic binding peptides have been identified from phage display and other experiments, the relationship between the peptide sequence, structure, and functional properties at the interface have not been identified. The structure of biomolecules at the interface can be determined with the tools (Circular Dichroism (CD), Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)) traditionally used for protein structure determination.
