Adsorption of fluorescently-labelled VTK, phosphorylated VTK (pVTK), scrambled VTK (VTK-scram) and scrambled phosphorylated VTK (pVTK-scram) on bone-like mineral (BLM), hydroxyapatite (HA) and tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS). pVTK and pVTK-scram showed significantly higher adsorption to BLM than VTK. All peptides except VTK showed significantly higher binding to BLM than HA. Substrate specificity of the peptides was confirmed by absence of binding to TCPS. Bracket denotes a statistical difference between peptides on BLM (p < 0.05). Data are presented as means ± S.D. * denotes statistical differences between adsorption on BLM and HA for a given peptide (p < 0.01)
