Abstract
Biomimetic hydroxyapatite nanocrystals represent an ideal bone-substitute material; the clarification of their interaction with proteins is fundamental to understanding the integration of an implanted device or biomaterial with a tissue. Investigations of nano-materials/protein interaction could find application in heterogeneous catalysis and chromatographic protein separation. This study has pointed out how apatitic nanostructured biomimetic substrates affect the conformation of myoglobin.File in questo prodotto:
