摘要

The adsorption mechanism of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on hydroxyapatite (HA) for different time intervals has been studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR)-attenuated total internal reflectance (ATR) spectrometry in this paper. The difference spectra obtained in HA and BSA frequency regions demonstrate that the binding of P=O, from the phosphate (PO43-) of HA, to the hydrogen of methyl (-CH3), methene (-CH2) and amideII (-CNH) in the protein appears to be much faster and stronger than that of the P-O group. In addition, Ca2+ must serve as a key role in the interaction of BSA with HA. The binding of Ca2+ to the oxygen of the peptide bond seems to induce a significant reconformation of polypeptide backbones from beta-pleated sheet to alpha-helix and beta-turn of helical circles. This alteration seems to have been accompanied by much hydrogen of polypeptides driven to bind PO43- and OH- of the HA actively and much -C = O and H-N- groups of the peptide bond freed from inter-chain hydrogen bonding to react on Ca2+ and combine strongly with the HA surface. This might be well expected to promote the HA biomineralization.
