Figure 4. Electrostatic binding of micelles to saliva-coated dental surfaces.

Figure 4

A. Increased binding to sHA as a function of micelle diameter (n=4). B. Equilibrium binding profile of NPC11/3 at increasing polymer concentrations. Other micelles’ binding profiles are not shown here for simplicity. The solid and dotted lines represent Langmuir fits to the adsorption data (n=4 independent experiments). C. Langmuir fit parameters that define binding capacity (bmax). The equation parameters were calculated based on data presented in B (r2<0.98). HA, uncoated hydroxyapatite; sHA, saliva- coated HA. The error bars represent standard error (n=4).
