Popis: Neutron reflectivity has been used to investigate the interaction between the cationic surfactant dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (C12TAB) and preadsorbed lysozyme layers at the hydrophilic silica−water interface. Reflectivity measurements were carried out with two different concentrations of lysozyme and a range of C12TAB concentrations at a solution pH of 7. A preadsorbed lysozyme layer was prepared by adsorption from 0.03 or 1 g dm-3 protein solutions. The effect on the adsorbed protein layer structure upon addition of a range of surfactant concentrations, from 0.2 to 14 mM, was determined and the surface excesses of both protein and surfactant within the adsorbed layers calculated. The surface composition of the mixed layers and their structural distributions were identified with the help of the variation of hydrogen/deuterium labeling to the surfactant. It was found that upon increasing surfactant concentration the protein was gradually replaced by the surfactant at the interface. However, a simple ...
