STRUCTURES INCLUDING ANTIMICROBIAL PEPTIDES

A structure includes a substrate and a first plurality of bilayers on the substrate. The first plurality of bilayers includes a first layer including an antimicrobial peptide having a charge, and a second layer including a polyelectrolyte having a charge opposite the charge of the first layer.

Zusammenfassung:A structure includes a substrate and a first plurality of bilayers on the substrate. The first plurality of bilayers includes a first layer including an antimicrobial peptide having a charge, and a second layer including a polyelectrolyte having a charge opposite the charge of the first layer. At least a portion of the structure is capable of degrading by sequential removal of the first layer and the second layer, and releasing the antimicrobial peptide from the structure.
