Adsorption of fibrinogen was theoretically studied using the three-dimensional random sequential adsorption (RSA) model. Fibrinogen molecule shape was approximated by the bead model considering the presence of flexible side arms. Various cases were considered inter alia, the side-on adsorption mechanisms and the simultaneous side-on/end-on adsorption mechanism. The latter mechanisms is pertinent to fibrinogen adsorption at lower pH (below isoelectric point of 5.8) where the entire molecule is positively charged. Extensive calculations enabled one to determine the jamming surface concentration (coverage) of molecules adsorbed under the side-on and end-on orientations as well as the total coverage. For the simultaneous side-on/end-on model the maximum surface concentration was 7.29 × 10(3) μm(-2) corresponding to the protein coverage of 4.12 mg m(-2) (without considering hydration). Additionally, the surface blocking functions for different adsorption regimes were determined and analytically approximated for the entire range of coverage by the interpolating polynomials. Using these blocking functions, fibrinogen adsorption kinetics for diffusion controlled transport conditions was evaluated. Comparison of these theoretical results with experimental data was made. It was demonstrated that the simultaneous side-on/end-on model properly reflects the maximum coverage of fibrinogen adsorbed on latex particles determined via the electrokinetic (electrophoretic mobility) and AFM measurements. Also, streaming potential measurements of fibrinogen adsorption kinetics on mica were successfully interpreted in terms of this model. The theoretical results derived in this work have implications for basic science providing information on mechanisms of anisotropic protein adsorption.
