Protein adsorption on heterogeneous surfaces. Applied physics letters, 94(8), paper 083110.0003-6951https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3078397https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/9686The 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.enArticle
