Here we designed a functional chimeric protein composed of BMP2 and a collagen-binding domain (CBD), specifically the A3 domain of von Willebrand factor, to sustain BMP2 release from collagen-based scaffolds. Based on the results of computer-based structural prediction, we prepared a chimeric protein consisting of CBD and BMP2 in this order with a peptide tag for affinity purification.

The pitting potential of Zr-14Nb-5Ta-1Mo was higher than that of pure Zr. The passive current density of Zr-14Nb-5Ta-1Mo also higher than that of pure Zr, which is ascribable to slow reconstruction of the initial passive film associated with the presence of Nb and Ta.
