Lysine-Grafted MCM-41 Silica as an Antibacterial Biomaterial

Lysine-Grafted MCM-41 Silica as an Antibacterial Biomaterial

This paper proposes a facile strategy for the zwitterionization of bioceramics that is based on the direct incorporation of l-lysine amino acid via the ε-amino group onto mesoporous MCM-41 materials. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) studies of lysine-grafted MCM-41 (MCM-LYS) simultaneously showed b...
