Festschrift in honour of the 75th birthday of Dr. Leo Vroman
Editors: C.H. Bamford, S.L. Cooper and T. Tsuruta
The development of specific antibodies as probes anddetectors for adsorbed proteins by Dr. Leo Vroman and co-workers in the1960s and 1970s confirmed his earlier observations and suspicions thatblood protein adsorption involved a hierarchical series of collision,adsorption, and exchange processes. These observations and concepts wereconfirmed by other scientists and came to be known as `the Vromaneffect'. The core concept of the Vroman effect admits many approachesand over-reaches complex and not fully resolved questions of enzymology,transport phenomena, the statistical mechanics of protein conformation,longrange forces in liquids, and surface physics.
This volume contains the presentations from the symposium which was heldin honour of the 75th birhday of Dr. Leo Vroman, in Gouda, TheNetherlands, and deal with various aspects of the Vroman effect.
