Orogenic displacement mechanism

The orogenic displacement mechanism is a consequence of the low level of interaction between proteins and LMWE at the air-water interface. This model has been shown to work for a range of proteins with different secondary and tertiary structures and different t)q)es of LMWE (monoglycerides and phospholipids). 

Recent works by the Norwich group (Gunning et al., 1999 Mackie et ak, 1999, 2000 Wilde, 2000) have demonstrated how surfactants disrupt and displace proteins from an interface by a three-stage "orogenic" mechanism. We have adopted this mechanism to describe spread protein-LMWE mixed films (Figure 14.8) (Patino et al., 2003). The results suggest that for spread...
