The adsorption of catalase on calcium hydroxyapatite is reported in this study. In all the solutions investigated, catalase adsorption takes place under conditions where the adsorbent and the adorbate are both negatively charged and is accompanied by the release of phosphate ions. This suggests that

β¦ Synopsis
The adsorption of two polyelectrolytes, poly-L-Glutamate and poly-L-Aspartate, on hydroxyapatite (HAP) crystals was studied both experimentally and theoretically. Langmuir adsorption isotherms were obtained for both these molecules, with binding constants K = 6 x 10(6) and 3 x 10(6) M-1, respectively, at 37.0 degreesC, pH 7.4, and 0.15 M ionic strength. A theoretical analysis of the data, based on a model proposed by Hesselink, suggested a "train-loop" type of adsorption with non-electrostatic energy terms 3.51 and 4.76 (kT) for poly-L-Glu and poly-L-Asp, respectively.
