Formation mechanisms of chitosan-silica hybrid materials and its performance as solid support for KR-12 peptide adsorption: Impact on KR-12 antimicrobial activity and proteolytic stability
Chitosan-silica materials offer a specific environment for the adsorption of biofunctional molecules, such as the antimicrobial peptide KR-12. The objective here is to rationalize the changes in the physicochemical properties of these chitosan-silica materials in function of the synthesis pH, using...
