We explain the pinning disparity assuming difference in wetting: the protein-laden drop wets a "clean" surface and the surfactant-laden drop wets an auto-precursored surface.3 pages, 4 figuresChemical PhysicsFluid DynamicsProtein and ionic surfactants - promoters and inhibitors of contact line pinningtext
