Gram-positive antimicrobial activity of amino acid-based hydrogels. Advanced materials, 27(4), 648-654. | Series/Report no.: | Advanced materials | Abstract: | Antimicrobial hydrogels are prepared based on the co-assembly of commercial Fmoc-phenylalanine and Fmoc-leucine, which act as the hydrogelator and antimicrobial building block, respectively. This co-assembled antimicrobial hydrogel is demonstrated to exhibit selective bactericidal activity for gram-positive bacteria while being biocompatible with normal mammalian cells, showing great potential as an antimicrobial coating for clinical anti-infective applications. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/106702 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/25088 |
