Abstract excerpt
Lipases are activated at interfaces between aqueous and hydrophobic phases, where they typically undergo conformational changes leading to significant activity increase. Here I use a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) to study changes in layer thickness and viscosity during the adsorption of variants of the Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase (TlL) onto a methyl-terminated hydrophobic surface. Unlike...
