Abstract

In this chapter, we provide a review of current research on proteins at interfaces under the headings: physicochemical aspects, computer simulation of protein adsorption, biological function of adsorbed proteins, resistance to protein adsorption, and experimental techniques for the study of protein surface interactions. All of these areas are represented in the various chapters in the book. This chapter gives a broader context into which the individual, specialized chapters can be placed and we have attempted to point out the connections. We intend this chapter to be of help to the community at large, and in particular to beginning students and new investigators wishing to make a contribution to the field.
