Abstract
This article reviews recent development in the use of neutron reflection to study protein adsorption. The phenomenon of protein adsorption will be introduced, followed by the outline of the technological relevance of the interfacial molecular events. As lysozyme and albumins are widely used in recent adsorption studies, these model systems will be taken to demonstrate how interfacial structural details are affected by different surface chemical nature. The prospect of neutron reflection in revealing interfacial structural conformations of biologically more relevant proteins is highlighted.
