“…The zeta-potential values showed that the liposomal surface changed from electronegative to electropositive, strongly suggesting that, from a certain concentration, an effective adsorption of LSH by ε-polylysine molecules took place (Volodkin et al, 2007a,b;Sasaki et al, 2013). A plateau was reached from 0.5% upwards, indicating that liposomes were totally coated with PL at this concentration, preventing further adsorption of excess PL by saturation of the bilayer membrane binding sites (Volodkin et al, 2007a,b;Finogenova et al, 2008). Residual PL amino groups, which do not interact with the liposomal surface, would presumably be available to exert a direct antimicrobial effect.…”
