Calmodulin Coated Surfaces
biomat has developed a polystyrene surface with physically adsorbed Calmodulin protein. The Calmodulin Ca ++ binding protein is able to bind proteins mainly with hydrophobic sites in its surface.
The polystyrene optical features don’t change, allowing the modified surface to be used as a valid tool to carry out biological tests.
This surface shows its usefulness for these applications:
- interactions with proteins involved in glycogen metabolism
- interactions with factors involved in neurotransmission mechanism
- interactions with enzymes involved in the NAD*/NADP* phosphorilation system
