Abstract
The complexation of Bovine Serum Albumin with sulfonatocalix[n] arenes has been demonstrated by means of electrospray mass spectrometry, dynamic light scattering and atomic force microscopy; with sulfonatocalix[4] arene one s trong and two weaker binding sites are detected; the effects on the structu re of thin films formed by surface deposition of BSA show that the sulfonat ocalix[n] arenes act to reticulate the films and produce essentially planar systems.
