| Abstract | The surface properties of a family of elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs), differing in molecular weight and sequence length, were investigated to understand how the nature of the polypeptide film might contribute to their thrombogenic profile. Physical adsorption of the ELPs onto Mylar increased surface wettability as the sequence length decreased while X-ray spectroscopy analysis showed an increasing amide content with sequence length. Chemical force microscopy analysis revealed that the ELP-coated surfaces displayed purely hydrophilic adhesion forces that increased as the ELP sequence length decreased. Adsorption isotherms performed using the quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation, showed that the surface coverage increased with ELP sequence length. The longer polypeptides (ELP2 and ELP4) also displayed higher specific dissipation values indicating that they established films with greater structural flexibility and associated water content than the shorter polypeptide, ELP1. Additionally, the stability of the ELP coating was lower with the shorter polypeptides. This study highlights the different surface properties of the ELP coatings as well as the dynamic nature of the ELP adsorbed layer wherein the conformational state may be an important factor contributing to their blood response. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
