On the "Anomalous" Adsorption Behavior of Phosvitin
A statistical analysis based on the Scheutjens-Fleer theory can explain the "anomalous" adsorption behavior of the egg yolk protein phosvitin. The predicted adsorbed layer structure consists of a low surface coverage of looplike polyelectrolyte chains attached to the surface at the two ends.
