Immobilization of alkaline phosphatase on modified silica coatings

The immobilization of a model enzyme, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), onto differently modified silica surfaces and coatings was investigated as a test case for the biofunctionalization of implant surfaces. In this context, the influence of silica surface structures and various silane linker molecules on the capacity to bind active proteins were studied. For this purpose, microscope glass slides were coated with unstructured or mesoporous silica...
