The Effect of Nanostructured Titanium Surface on Protein Adsorption

The amount and conformation of bovine serum albumin upon adsorption on titanium (Ti) surfaces containing nanotubes with different pore sizes were investigated. Nanotubes created the via anodization. Protein behavior anodized compared smooth sanded Ti surfaces. conformational changes in surface adsorbed proteins evaluated using second derivative curve fitting methods applied to Fourier transform infrared spectra Results showed that protein increased significantly increasing roughness a significant change occurred every albeit fashion. When samples considered, it was observed secondary structure seemed be correlated size rather than roughness.
