Abstract

In present work the formation of hybrid constructions composed of alpha-synuclein-based colloidal solutions on various solid surfaces (silica coated Si, mica, CaF2 and KBr) is investigated by scanning probe microscopy, spectrocopic ellipsometry, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy and vibrational circular dichroism. Prior to the modification of the solids, the proteins were intentionally fibrilled under special conditions. It is proved that the multi-component coatings are self-arranged on the solid substrates. Depending on the substrate material, the interface films consisting of individual biomolecules can be detected on the solid surfaces. The coatings with fibril-like alpha-synuclein objects can be obtained on solid surfaces with negligible or comparatively thick interface films. The results are interpreted in terms of the charged surface-controlled electrostatic interaction between the substrate and the biomolecules. Solubility of solids is considered in this interpretation.
