    Protein adsorption on heterogeneous surfaces
    (American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2009-02-23) Aggarwal, Nitesh; Lawson, Ken J.; Kershaw, Matthew; Horvath, Robert; Ramsden, Jeremy J.
    The adsorption of the protein bovine serum albumin from an aqueous solution onto substrata made from pure silica, pure zirconia, and a mixture of the two has revealed that the adsorption behavior of the protein onto the mixture very significantly diverges from the corresponding mean of the behaviors with the pure substrata. A tentative explanation in terms of matching substratum heterogeneity with protein surface heterogeneity is offered.
