Reversible pH Responsive Bovine Serum Albumin Hydrogel Sponge Nanolayer

Abstract: A pH dependent reversible sponge like behavior of a bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanolayer adsorbed at the gold-saline interface is revealed by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D), atomic force microscope (AFM) and contact angle measurements. During the saline rinsing cycles, the BSA layer adsorbs water molecules at pH 7.0 and releases them at pH 4.5. The phenomenon remains constant and reproducible upon multiple rinsing cycles. The BSA layer thickness also increases upon rinsing with saline at … Show more

“…The carrier protein BSA was encapsulated within all nanoparticle formulations where a 40−65% encapsulation efficiency was achieved, as determined with a BCA protein assay (Figure S2A). In addition, we found that BSA, which is negatively charged at physiological pH, 38 contributed moderately to the negative charge of the nanoparticles when encapsulated therein (Figure S2B). As we decreased the molecular weight of PLGA, the zeta potential of the nanoparticles became more negative.…”

“…When analyzing the conductivity characteristics of the considered solution, we may conclude that it is a strong electrolyte. It follows from the pH value of BSA (4.5–4.8) [ 21 ] that was primarily added when obtaining the CLEA. Hence, we can use Kohlrausch’s law for a solution of a strong electrolyte: …”

“…As a model protein, BSA has an isoelectric point (IEP) of 4.5-4.8 which means under neutral pH condition, it has a negative molecular net charge. 50 However, PDGF has an IEP of 9.8 and turns to have a positive molecular net charge under the physiological milieu. 51 As the CS bioadhesives are positively charged from the amine groups, it is predictable that PDGF will have a faster-releasing profile compared to BSA due to the electrostatic force of repulsion which is beneficial to maintain a therapeutic concentration level within the dynamic homeostasis environment.…”
