Biophys J. 72:1997;595-612 The generalization of the SCMF theory to study protein adsorption on tethered polymer layers is presented. The relationship between the structure of the layer, the potentials of mean-force between the surface and the protein and the resulting protein adsorption is studied for a variety of systems. The paper presents studies of the behavior of the equilibrium adsorption as compared to the kinetics of adsorption as a function of the type of surface, surface coverage of polymer and polymer molecular weight.
