title: Factors affecting protein interaction at sorbent interfaces.
abstract: Interactions between surfaces and macromolecules are the fundamentals in separation and detection of diverse solutes. In this very brief review the central aspects of protein-surface interactions are discussed with the intention of identifying the important factors influencing such processes and placing them in relation to the established knowledge in this field. Some perspectives of new techniques related to scanning probe microscopy for studying interactions at the nanometer level are also discussed.
