Nisin adsorption and function at hydrophobic surfaces coated with the poly[ethylene oxide]-poly[propylene oxide]-poly[ethylene oxide] triblock surfactant Pluronic® F108

Creator:

Tai, Yuan-Ching

Abstract:

The adsorption and elution of the antimicrobial peptide nisin at hydrophobic, silanized silica surfaces coated with the poly[ethylene oxide]-poly[propylene oxide]- poly[ethylene oxide] surfactant Pluronic® F108 was measured in situ, with ellipsometry. While such layers are known to inhibit protein adsorption, nisin was observed to adsorb in multilayer quantities, to an...
