CAP modifies the structure of a model protein from thermophilic bacteria: mechanisms of CAP-mediated inactivation

Abstract Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has great potential for sterilization in the food industry, by deactivation of thermophilic bacteria, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Therefore, we investigate here whether CAP is able to denature/modify protein from thermophilic bacteria. We...
