Sažetak
The adsorption and conformational changes of three plasma
proteins, (bovine) serum albumin, .y-globulin and fibrinogen, on
several (bio)polymer surfaces are reported. A theory is developed
which invokes reversible adsorption of the proteins in the initial
stages and a time dependent conformational change of adsorbed
protein leading to essentially irreversible long-term adsorption.
In each case experimental evidence indicates that there .is a time-
dependent decrease in structural order. It is postulated that the
protein unfolds to optimize surface bonding, thus inducing the
c;hemistry of the protein/water interface by bonding at the protein/
/polymer interface. Cell binding studies support the concept that
the plasma proteins unfold to optimize the polymer/protein interaction.
