Cover Feature: Strong Structural and Electronic Binding of Bovine Serum Albumin to ZnO via Specific Amino Acid Residues and Zinc Atoms (ChemPhysChem 2/2022)

Abstract

The Cover Feature illustrates how bovine serum albumin binds to polar and non-polar ZnO single-crystal facets via its specific amino acids. Atomic scale calculations using density-functional tight-binding models are shown in the circles for specific binding cases, depending also on ZnO facet orientations.
