considering for a medical device to synovial fluid, which contains the proteins albumin, transferrin, and IgM at concentrations of 5, 0.5, and 0.05 mg/ml, respectively. Each of these components has a particular affinity for your material, with IgM being the highest and albumin being the lowest. a. Describe the kinetics of protein adsorption to your material and how the surface concentration of each protein will change with time. b. Subsequently in the experiment, more albumin is added to the synovial fluid. What effec will this have on the proteins adsorbed on the surface? c. The graph below shows the amount of IgM adsorbed to the material surface as a function of time. What will happen on the material surface with the addition of more IgM?
