Quantifying the ordering of adsorbed proteins in situ
Article Abstract:
Structural changes in fibrinogen on adsorption to polystyrene (PS) are examined at the PS/protein solution interface by vibrational and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results show that on adsorption, the hydrophobic PS surface produces structural changes in fibrinogen, giving it a bent structure due to alignment of hydrophobic chains facing the surface.
