Adsorption of Cationic Peptides to Solid Surfaces of Glass and Plastic
Fig 7
Adsorption and desorption kinetics of mastoparan X in 220 μ L 2 μ M solutions.
The kinetics were investigated in borosilicate glass vials and polypropylene tubes. (A) Adsorption kinetics in buffer. (B) Adsorption kinetics in 1 mM POPC/POPG (3:1) LUV solution. (C) Desorption kinetics. The desorption from the container walls was induced by 1 mM POPC/POPG (3:1) LUV. The data are the average of two separate experiments. The error bars show the standard deviations. Generally, adsorption and desorption are fast processes that take place within a few seconds.
