Particle adhesion parameters used in the simulation (Hossain et al., 2012a).
| Parameters | Value |
|---|---|
| Surface density of ligand molecules | ml = 1015 #/m2 |
| Surface density of receptor molecules | mr = 1013 #/m2 |
| Ligand-receptor affinity constant at zero load | Ka0 = 2.3×10−7 m2 |
| Characteristic length of ligand-receptor bond | λ = 1×10−10m |
| Dynamic viscosity of water | μ = 0.001 N-s/m2 |
| Drag coefficient on the spherical particle | Fs = 1.668 |
