	abstract = {<p>Arsenic rejection via modified polyacrylonitrile ultrafiltration (UF) membrane was found to be very high, however, the presence of commonly found foulants in arsenic solution affected membrane performance. The effect of commonly found foulants, such as ovalbumin, humic acid and egg white on arsenic rejection were studied. Experiments indicated that the As(V) rejection was affected by the total quantity of proteins and not the variety of proteins present in a solution. As(V) rejection was found to decrease with increasing proteins while fouling was found to increase from 25\% for 0.1 mg/ml to 33\% for 0.5 mg/ml egg white. The As(V) rejection was found to decrease with increasing concentration of humic acid for PAN membranes. Fouling studies showed that humic acid was a lesser foulant in comparison to egg white. However a combination of the two foulants led to a decrease in the overall fouling. pH was also found to be a very important factor for egg white dissolution and As(V) rejection.

	abstract = {<p>In this article, we have shown an easy, one-step, protein-directed approach for the synthesis of water-soluble and functional graphene using ovalbumin. The obtained ovalbumin functionalized graphene was characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Atomic force microscopy was used to check the attachment/functionalization of ovalbumin on grapheme sheets. It was shown that the functionalization of ovalbumin on grapheme sheets makes the protein more thermally stable compare to free ovalbumin, which has been shown by using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.</p>
