The immobilization of proteins to impart specific functions to surfaces is topical for chemical engineering, healthcare and diagnosis. Layer-by-Layer (LbL) self-assembly is one of the most used method to immobilize macromolecules on surfaces. It consists in the alternate adsorption of oppositely charged species, resulting in the formation of a multilayer. This method in principle allows any charged object to be immobilized on any surface, from aqueous solutions. However, when it comes to proteins, the promises of versatility, simplicity and universality that the LbL approach holds are unmet due to the heterogeneity of protein properties. In this review, the literature is analyzed to make a generic approach emerge, with a view to facilitate the LbL assembly of proteins with polyelectrolytes (PEs). In particular, this review aims at guiding the choice of the PE and the building conditions that lead to the successful growth of protein-based multilayered self-assemblies.

Interaction of chitosan and its derivatives with proteins of animal blood at blood pH relevant conditions is of a particular interest for construction of antimicrobial chitosan/protein-based drug delivery systems. In this work, the interaction of a series of N-reacetylated oligochitosans (RA-CHI) having M of 10-12 kDa and differing in the degree of acetylation (DA 19, 24, and 40 %) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) in alkalescent media is described in first. It is shown that RA-CHI forms soluble complexes with BSA in solutions with pH 7.

Vaccination is the most effective method for preventing infectious diseases. Oral vaccinations have attracted much attention due to the ability to boost intestinal and systemic immunity. The focus of this study was to develop a poly (lactide-co-glycolide) acid (PLGA)-based ternary polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) with chitosan, sodium alginate, and transmembrane peptides R8 for the delivery of antigen proteins.

Protein-polyelectrolyte complex coacervation is of particular interest for mimicking intracellular phase separation and organization. Yet, the challenge arises from regulating the coacervation due to the globular structure and anisotropic distributed charges of protein. Herein, we fully investigate the different control factors and reveal their effects on protein-polyelectrolyte coacervation.

Mussels secrete protein-based byssal threads to tether to rocks, ships, and other organisms underwater. The secreted marine mussel adhesive proteins (MAPs) contain the peculiar amino acid L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA), whose catechol group content contributes greatly to their outstanding adhesive properties. Inspired by such mussel bioadhesion, we demonstrate that catechol-modified polysaccharides can be used to obtain adhesive membranes using the compaction of polyelectrolyte complexes (CoPEC) method.
