β¦ Synopsis
Heparin adsorption onto polyethylene imine (PEI) films was investigated. The adsorption was followed with time-dependent surface plasmon resonance (SPR) for PEI cast on gold films, and the thickness of the adsorbed heparin was determined by fitting the angular reflection curves to Fresnel's equations. The average thickness of the PEI determined the heparin adsorption range and it was found that both heparin binding capacity and sensitivity increased with PEI thickness. At an appropriate thickness of 10 Β± 2 nm, adsorption of heparin in the clinically applicable range of 0-2 U/ml caused a linear concentration dependent change in the SPR reflectivity at a fixed angle, with excellent sensitivity (0.05 U/ml). The results are compared to heparin adsorption on immobilized protamine and the surface coverage and probable heparin distribution discussed. Copyright 1997 Academic Press.

## Abstract **Summary:** The kinetics of enzymatic surfaceβinitiated polymerization of PHB on gold surface has been examined by SPR and the resultant polymer layers characterized by AFM and FTβIR spectrometry. The immobilized enzyme catalyzed surfaceβinitiated polymerization of 3HBβCoA, resulting i
During the last decades there has been a growing realization of the central biological role that oligosaccharides and oligosaccharide-protein interactions play. One of the most striking examples is the use of heparin and low-molecular-weight heparin oligosaccharides (Fragmin 2 ) to modify blood coag
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) adsorption to heparin-like surface is of wide clinical interest since such a mechanism might be responsible for cholesterol accumulation in the arterial wall. By modifying the surface plasmon resonance sensor surface with heparin and albumin (BSA) LDL adsorption to this
