“…The adsorption of peptides on surfaces has been recognized to be critical in numerous fields such as biomaterials, biological separations, and biosensors. In this context, the exchange of proteins at the surface with molecules in the bulk has been investigated experimentally in the absence of a porous structure. , Studies concerning the adsorption of proteins on molecular sieves such as MCM-41 have also been reported, the problems addressed here being the efficiency of immobilization as a function of pH, concentration of the solution, and pore size, , and the catalytic activity in the case that the protein is an enzyme. − …”
