Atmospheric pressure plasma modified surfaces for immobilization of antimicrobial nisin peptides

Plasma polymerized C:H:N:O thin films for controlled release of antibiotic substances

“…An alternative approach is the immobilization of antibiotics or other antibacterial biomolecules directly on the surface . For example, antibacterial biomolecules that contain amino, hydroxyl or carboxyl group(s), can be covalently grafted on plasma treated surfaces or on surfaces covered with appropriate plasma polymer; for example, antibacterial peptides were bound on plasma polymerized allyl‐glycidyl‐ether or lysozyme was bound on plasma treated polyethylene .…”

Direct Plasma Deposition of Lysozyme-Embedded Bio-Composite Thin Films

“…sometimes are needed to enhance and properly orient the coupling reaction, thus increasing the complexity of the synthesis. This strategy has allowed, for instance, the preparation of anticoagulation, antibacterial, and cell growth enhancing composite coatings as well as highly selective biosensors for the detection of specific DNA strains or proteins …”

Fast Atmospheric Plasma Deposition of Bio‐Inspired Catechol/Quinone‐Rich Nanolayers to Immobilize NDM‐1 Enzymes for Water Treatment

“…[ 11,12 ] Numerous types of functional coatings bearing amine, carboxylic or epoxy groups, obtained through various deposition routes have been investigated for the covalent tethering of proteins. [12][13][14][15] Inspired by the remarkable adhesion properties of mussel under tough conditions, a new kind of functional coatings have been recently reported based on the reactivity of catechol and quinone groups. [ 16 ] The presence of catechol groups, responsible for the mussel feet surface adhesion, ensures a strong anchoring onto virtually any kind of substrate, while the quinone groups (i.e., catechol oxidized form) responsible for the mussel feet cohesion, allows the formation of strong covalent bonds with proteins via reaction with thiol, amine or imidazole groups.…”
