| abstract |
The invention relates to a method for producing bioactive surfaces by enzymatic modification of molecules or molecular aggregates, in particular, collagen, on surfaces of glass, metals, metallic oxides, plastics, biopolymers or other materials with an amorphous silicon dioxide (silica) or silicones in the cell culture, by tissue engineering or in medical implants, whereby a polypeptide is used for enzymatic modification, which contains a silicatein α or silicatein β domain. The inventive method promotes the growth, activity and/or mineralization of cells/cell cultures. |
