Abstract
Under most conditions proteins show a strong tendency to adsorb at int erfaces. The general principles underlying the interaction between pro teins and solid surfaces in an aqueous environment are discussed. Thes e principles are illustrated by experimental results obtained with wel l-defined systems. The approach is mainly based on thermodynamic argum ents.
