Ribonuclease main properties

Protein adsorption on solid surfaces is discussed from a colloid chemical and thermodynamic point of view. Information is mainly obtained from adsorption isotherms, (proton)titrations, electrokinetics and calorimetry. The adsorption behavior of human plasma albumin and bovine pancreas ribonuclease at various surfaces is studied. The differences in behavior between the two proteins are related to differences in the structural properties. Furthermore, the essential role of the low molecular weight electrolytes in the overall protein adsorption process is stressed.
