Molecular dynamics simulations were used to compare the adsorption behavior of lysozyme on two typical antifouling polymer materials: poly(ethylene) glycol (PEG) and poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS). The influence of the surface properties of the polymer films on protein adsorption is discussed at the microscale. Based on the interactions, energy changes between the protein and polymer films, and dynamical behavior of the hydration molecules near the polymer film, the reasons why the PEG

(1) The lower binding energy between the protein and the PEG coating than between the protein and the PDMS coating makes the protein adsorb weaker on the PEG coating than on the PDMS coating. (2) The protein would adsorb on the film surface when overcoming the energy barrier caused by the hydration layer. Molecular water adsorbs on the PEG surface stronger than on the PDMS surface, and is difficult to desorb. Therefore, the protein needs to overcome a higher energy barrier to adsorb to the PEG surface than to the PDMS surface, and thus it is more difficult for protein to absorb on the PEG surface than on the PDMS surface.
