It should be noted that alkyl chain of surfactant is an important factor that strongly influences adsorption behavior and structure of adsorbed layer due to the presence of
hydrophobic interactions. To predict the effect of alkyl chain, the concept of hemimicelle is well-known.
Compound (13) in Figure 7 has unsaturated alkyl group which may provide extra
hydrophobic interactions resulting in better binding efficiency [79].
Hydrophobic interactions between tannins and proteins are the main factors that complexate the two structures.
(4) Surfactants, similar to HEUR, will adsorb onto latex surfaces via
hydrophobic interactions between the latex surface and hydrophobes of the surfactant.
(21) The HPLC method consists of a polystyrene divi-nylbenzene column that would only allow for
hydrophobic interaction s--the same chemical interaction during the initial stage of tannin-protein interaction, and was modified from a previously published method.
According to the views of Ross and Subramanian, [DELTA]H > 0 and [DELTA]S > 0 imply a
hydrophobic interaction, [DELTA]H < 0 and [DELTA]S < 0 reflect hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interaction, and [DELTA]H < 0 and [DELTA]S > 0 imply electrostatic force.
Chemically, only two types of interaction are plausible between BA molecules: H-bonding and
hydrophobic interaction.
Hydrophobic interaction is not specific and it can occur between any large amounts of molecules leading to condensation, which is a first-order phase transition with a nearly horizontal plateau in the isotherms.
From the [Ligplot.sup.+] diagrams (Figure 4), it is observed that compounds C1, C3, C5, and C8 show a
hydrophobic interaction. One N-H ...
The software automatically generates schematic diagrams of protein-ligand interactions for a given ligand in aPDB file and the number of hydrogen and
hydrophobic interaction was predicted.
Sorbact's unique methodology uses the natural process of
hydrophobic interaction to bind and inactivate bacteria and fungi.
