“…Surprisingly, this trend was not observed among heated α-lac/CH 113 PEG mixtures, where samples containing relatively more protein were more relatively more turbid ( r = 5) or formed precipitates ( r = 10) at pH 5.3 and 5.8 (Figure 1d), which were the only sample mixtures where precipitation occurred. CH forms a rigid-rod conformation through inter-hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding [21,22]. Therefore, the low molecular flexibility among the CH 113 and CH 113 PEG samples would have limited their ability to interact effectively with single proteins because they would be less capable of coiling and conforming to the curvature of the α-lac surfaces [23].…”

“…It has also been reported that m PEGs‐ graft ‐CS spontaneously formed nanometer‐sized aggregates through strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the CS moieties . Halabalová and Šimek also reported that dipole–dipole or hydrogen bonding should be responsible for the interaction between CS and PEG in the solution. Therefore, favorable interactions could have occurred between amide or amine nitrogen on the CS backbone and the hydroxyl and etheric oxygen of the PEG.…”

“…Protonation on chitosan-free amino group in the acidic environment caused it to be positively charged. The dipole-dipole or hydrogen bonding between chitosan shell and PEG became stronger than intra-molecular or intermolecular hydrogen bonding of chitosan chain and allowed PEG grafting onto it due to interaction between amine or amide nitrogen of chitosan, and hydroxyl and etheric oxygen of PEG ( 30 ). Probe sonication was employed to reduce particle size as well as improving uniformity of size.…”

“…Figure 3 d showed positive linear relationship between zeta potential and amount of chitosan used for developing the nanoparticles. The relationship was predictable since chitosan dissolves in an aqueous solvent, exhibiting net positive charges due to the protonated amine group (30). When the amount of lecithin used decreases, the zeta potential increases, proving that negatively charged lecithin had reacted with positively charged chitosan, producing a negative effect on zeta potential.…”
