Abstract
This study that modified polysulfone membranes with different end-group chemical functionalities were prepared using chemical synthesis methods and experimentally characterized. The molecular dynamics (MD) method were used to discuss the adsorption mechanism of proteins on functionalized modified polysulfone membrane materials from a molecular perspective, revealing the interactions between different functionalized membrane surfaces and protein adsorption. Theoretical analysis combined with basic experiments and MD simulations were used to explore the orientation and spatial conformational changes of protein adsorption at the molecular level. The results show that BSA exhibits different variability and adsorption characteristics on membranes with different functional group modifications. On hydrophobic membrane surfaces, BSA shows the least stable configuration stability, making it prone to nonspecific structural changes. In addition, surface charge effects lead to electrostatic repulsion for BSA and reduce the protein adsorption sites. These MD simulation results are consistent with experimental findings, providing new design ideas and support for modifying blood-compatible membrane materials.
