Under most conditions proteins show a strong tendency to adsorb at interfaces. The general principles underlying the interaction between proteins and solid surfaces in an aqueous environment are discussed. These principles are illustrated by experimental results obtained with well‐defined systems. The approach is mainly based on thermodynamic arguments.
