Enzymatic and electrochemical polymerization of fibrinogen

Abstract

Abstract Anodic electrolysis of fibrinogen at platinum electrodes causes the formation of fibrin‐type structure at potentials below .08 V S.C.E.; at higher potentials denaturation occurs. Coated electron microscope grids were used as electrodes in fibrinogen solutions. When removed and dried these grids contain a protein film which acts as a sampler‐substrate for entities which are either in solution or are formed at the electrodes.
