Schematic of nanospheres interacting with surfaces: (left) the disassembly of amelogenin monomers onto hydrophobic CH3 SAMs by the interaction of the hydrophobic domain with the hydrophobic surface; (right) the disassembly of oligomeric adsorbates onto the hydrophilic COOH and FAP surfaces by the interaction of the charged C-terminal domains on the outside of the oligomers (represented by the red tags) with the surfaces. Nanospheres are proposed to be composed of monomeric and oligomeric subunits after Du et al.
