Adsorption of fibrinogen onto stainless steel.
With a view to better understanding the interactions between biomedical implants and the body, we propose a study into the surface structure of a key protein, fibrinogen. The aim is to determine the effect of pH, concentration and ionic strength on the adsorption affinity and structural conformation of the protein onto stainless steel. This should aid in understanding the reasons why fibrinogen often denatures on these surfaces and how therefore to prevent internal blood clotting.
