Retention of protein repulsive character and antimicrobial activity of PEO brush layers following nisin entrapment

Creator:

Auxier, Julie A.

Abstract:

Nisin, an amphiphilic, antimicrobial peptide, has been shown to integrate into the hydrophobic inner region of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) brush layers; however, the presence of integrated nisin may compromise the protein repulsive character of the PEO layer. In particular, the introduction of fibrinogen to nisin-loaded brush layers has been observed...
