[Adsorption of fibrinogen on silicon oxide with controlled hydrophobic/hydrophilic properties]. 1989

V I Razumas, and Iu Iu Kulis, and H Elwing, and A Askendahl, and I Lundstrom

The amount of fibrinogen irreversibly adsorbed on silicon dioxide does not exceed 3.6 pmol/cm2 and depends on the protein concentration, solution pH and surface hydrophobic/hydrophilic properties. Electrostatic interactions determine the fibrinogen adsorption rate. Partial denaturation of fibrinogen takes place in its adsorption form diluted solutions with the pH value lower than the protein isoelectric point.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D005340	Fibrinogen	Plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. Fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides A and B, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products.
