设计了一种特定的化学模型系统,将带有不同官能团(烷基、羧基、羟基、氨基)的硫醇分子自组装在金片表面,研究不同官能团分子对蛋白吸附的影响。实验结果表明,对于两种不同蛋白质牛血清蛋白(BSA)和碱性成纤维细胞生长因子(bFGF),带有疏水性官能团的烷基硫醇自组装膜对蛋白吸附量大于其他3种硫醇自组装膜,即亲疏水性是决定材料表面吸附蛋白的主要因素。另外,材料表面电荷性质也影响蛋白吸附,当表面官能团为带正电基团如氨基,则它对牛血清这类带负电的蛋白的吸附就大于带有羧基、羟基等这类带负电基团的分子,而后者对于正电蛋白的吸附更为明显。
Biomaterial surface properties influence protein adsorption and elicit diverse cellular responses in biomedical and bioteehnological applications. However, the molecular mechanisms directing cellular activities remain poorly understood. Using a model system with well-defined (-CH3, -OH, -COOH, -NH2 ), the effects of surface chemistry on protein adhesion were investigated.
