Driving force for the adsorption of peptides onto silica and the impact of medium conditions, pH, and salt concentration. Panel (A): correlation between peptide isoelectric point and the minimal initial peptide concentration required for adsorption, [pep]min, for different peptides (7mer: LDHSLHS, pep2: YITPYAHLRGGN, pep1: KSLSRHDHIHHH, pep4: MHRSDLMSAAVR, Si4-1: MSPHPHRHHHT, Si4-10: RGRRRRLSCRLL) (50 mM phosphate, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.5).

Panel (B): amount of adsorbed peptides on silica NPs as a function of the solution pH for KLPGWSG, AFILPTG, and LDHSLHS (buffer 100 mM phosphate, 150 mM NaCl). Reprinted with permission from [115].

Panel (C): influence of NaCl concentration on the SPR shift by the adsorption of sfGFP-Car9 (Car9: DSARGFKKPGKR) construct onto silica substrates (buffer 20 mM Tris-HCl with 0, 50, and 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.5, 0.125 µM sfGFP-Car9).
