Abstract
The interaction of proteins with solid surfaces is a fundamental phenomenon in the biomaterials field. We investigated, using atomic force microscopy (AFM), the interactions of a recombinant amelogenin with titanium, a biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) and mica. The unbinding processes were compared to those of an earlier studied protein, namely fibrinogen. Force spectroscopy (AFM) experiments were carried out at 0 ms, 102 ms, 103 ms and 104 ms of contact time. In general, the rupture forces increased as a function of interaction time. The unbinding forces of amelogenin interacting with the BCP surface were always stronger than those of the amelogenin-titanium system. The unbinding forces of fibrinogen interacting with the BCP surface were always much stronger than those of the fibrinogen-titanium system. For the most part, this study provides direct evidence that recombinant amelogenin binds more strongly than fibrinogen on the studied substrates.
