Adsorption and Desorption of Bioactive Proteins on Hydroxyapatite for Protein Delivery Systems

الملخص EN

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a precursor of bone and has been studied as a biomaterial.

We attempted HA to apply to protein delivery systems.

In this study, the association and dissociation properties of two types of bioactive proteins, cytochrom c and insulin, to HA were investigated.

Cytochrom c was less associated with HA than insulin, which was easily released from it.

However, the release of insulin from HA was slow.

Insulin was released from HA at pH 7.4 more rapidly than at pH 3.

The association and dissociation properties might be influenced by the size, solubility and net charge of protein.

HA is a potential protein carrier with controlled release.
