Incorporation of a Hydrophobic Antibacterial Peptide into Amphiphilic Polyelectrolyte Multilayers: A Bioinspired Approach to Prepare Biocidal Thin Coatings

Abstract A non‐water‐soluble natural antibacterial peptide, gramicidin A, has been successfully incorporated into polyelectrolyte assemblies to elaborate biocidal thin films. For this, we used a double strategy, the first step of which consists of complexing the peptide by a non‐denaturing anionic a... View More
