An extracellular matrix protein, fibronectin (Fn), was covalently immobilized on 316L stainless steel, L605 cobalt chromium (CoCr), and nickel titanium (NiTi) surfaces through an 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) self-assembled monolayer (SAM) pre-formed on these surfaces. Polarization modulation infrared reflection adsorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) confirmed the presence of Fn on the surfaces. The Fn monolayer attached to the SAM was found to be stable under fluid shear stress. Deconvolution of the Fn amide I band indicated that the secondary structure of Fn changes significantly upon immobilization to the SAM-functionalized metal substrate. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis revealed that the spacing between Fn molecules on a modified commercial stent surface is approximately 66 nm, which has been reported to be the most appropriate spacing for cell/surface interactions.
一种细胞外基质蛋白——纤维连接蛋白(Fn),通过在这些表面预先形成的 11-巯基十一酸(MUA)自组装单分子层(SAM),共价固定在 316L 不锈钢、L605 钴铬(CoCr)和镍钛(NiTi)表面上。偏振调制红外反射吸收光谱(PM-IRRAS)证实了表面存在 Fn。在流体剪切力下,附着在 SAM 上的 Fn 单层被发现是稳定的。Fn 酰胺 I 带的解卷积表明,Fn 的二级结构在固定到 SAM 功能化金属基底时发生了显著变化。扫描电子显微镜和能量色散 X 射线分析表明,改性商用支架表面 Fn 分子之间的间距约为 66nm,据报道这是细胞/表面相互作用的最适间距。
