## Abstract Fibronectin (FN) is known to bind to bacteria via high affinity receptors on bacterial surfaces known as adhesins. The binding of bacteria to FN is thought to have a key role in foreign device associated infections. For example, previous studies have indicated that __Staphylococcus aure

## Abstract Responses of osteoblastic cells are influenced by morphology and composition of the extracellular matrix, and this fact has been used to improve the biological acceptance of implants by modifying the surfaces with components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). In this study, the effect o
The conformational and ion-binding properties of two peptide fragments of 25 amino acid residues corresponding to the helix-loop sequences of domains I and 111 of calmodulin ( CaM) were investigated by CD and Tb3+-mediated fluorescence spectroscopy. Both peptides exhibit very similar ion binding pro
## Abstract Osteopontin (OPN) is an important matricellular protein that modulates cell functions. It is potentially an excellent surfaceβcoating component for engineered biomaterials. It is believed that in its preferred orientation and conformation on a surface, the functional domains of OPN such
