Responsive charged and neutral polymer brushes are suitable interfaces for S-layer recrystallization.
PMETAC and PNIPAAm-b-PMETAC change the recrystallization pathway from 2D to 3D through perchlorate ions.
AFM and QCM-D deliver protein crystal nanostructure, adsorption kinetics and mechanical properties of the hybrid system.
Polymer brushes are model systems to investigate protein adsorption on different geometries.
