An advanced design of the analytical ultracentrifuge with multiwavelength emission detection (MWE-AUC) is presented which offers outstanding performance concerning the spectral resolution and range flexibility as well as the quality of the data acquired. The excitation by a 520 nm laser is complemented with a 405 nm laser. An external spectrograph with three switchable tunable gratings permits optimisation of the spectral resolution in an order of magnitude range while keeping the spectral region broad.

- * Proteins can change structure based on factors like temperature, pH, and their environment, leading to potential aggregation when adsorbed onto surfaces.
- * Using sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy, researchers examined how pH affects the electrical properties around model proteins attached to a hydrophobic surface, finding that the protein's stability is linked to its amino acid makeup and hydrophobic characteristics.
Hypothesis: High hydrostatic pressure treatment causes structural changes in interfacial-active β-lactoglobulin (β-lg). We hypothesized that the pressure-induced structural changes affect the intra- and intermolecular interactions which determine the interfacial activity of β-lg. The conducted experimental and numerical investigations could contribute to the mechanistic understanding of the adsorption behavior of proteins in food-related emulsions.
