Impact of Surface Hydrophobicity and Salinity on the Adsorption of Humic Acids [PDF]

, 2019
The adsorption of humic acids on thiol-functionalized gold surfaces with varying hydrophobicity under different solution conditions, was investigated by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) and contact angle measurements.

Cell surface hydrophobicity and biofilm formation of candida yeast species in different culture media

Bioscience Journal, 2017
Cell surface adhesion is considered an essential step in the spread, infection and persistence of Candida yeasts in the host. Their ability to adhere on biotic and abiotic surfaces depends on several factors, including hydrophobicity.

Unexpected Trends in the Hydrophobicity of Fluorinated Amino Acids Reflect Competing Changes in Polarity and Conformation [PDF]

, 2018
Fluorination can dramatically improve the thermal and proteolytic stability of proteins and their enzymatic activity. Key to the impact of fluorination on protein properties is the hydrophobicity of fluorinated amino acids.
