Adhesive Antimicrobial Peptides Containing 3,4-Dihydroxy-L-Phenylalanine Residues for Direct One-Step Surface Coating

Bacterial colonization and transmission via surfaces increase the risk of infection. In this study, we design and employ novel adhesive antimicrobial peptides to prevent bacterial contamination of surfaces. Repeats of 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine (DOPA) were added to the C-terminus of NKC, a potent...
