Antibacterial Properties and Mechanism of Lysozyme-Modified ZnO Nanoparticles

The lysozyme-modified nanoparticles (LY@ZnO NPs) were synthesized by the reduction–oxidation method, and the morphology and structure of LY@ZnO were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microsclope (SEM), and particle size anal...
