“…Several proteins have been investigated for their interactions with PNIPAAm polymers including bovine serum albumin (BSA) [48,[59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74], human serum albumin (HSA) [75][76][77][78][79][80][81], fibrinogen (Fg) [82][83][84], lysozyme [85][86][87][88][89][90], immunoglobulin (IgG) [91][92][93], human gamma globulin (HGG) [94], myoglobin [95][96][97], assorted serum or plasma proteins [98,99], and recombinant proteins [60]. While these vary in structure, functionality, and sequence, a general finding is that they adsorb in greater quantities above the temperature at which the VPT occurs.…”
