Conformational flexibility of fatty acid-free bovine serum albumin proteins enables superior antifouling coatings

Bovine serum albumin proteins are used to fabricate antifouling coatings, but it is unclear which of these give the best coatings. Here, bovine serum albumin proteins from different purification processes are investigated, revealing that fatty acid-free proteins give superior antifouling properties.
