X-ray fluorescence studies for the elemental composition and molecular organization of protein films on the surface of the liquid subphase

摘要

This paper reports on the results of the investigation of protein films that are based on alkaline phosphatase and glucose oxidase enzymes and formed on the surface of the liquid subphase. The experimental studies have been performed using total external reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (Grenoble, France). The self-organization processes that occur in protein systems on the surface of the liquid subphase under the conditions where the protein molecules retain their mobility have been investigated using X-ray fluorescence measurements for the first time.
