New publication – Attana’s technology employed in the development of antibacterial coatings for future surgical implants
A new paper has been published in MicrobiologyOpen by Prof. Hedhammar and co-workers at the Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University. In this paper, recombinant spider silk was functionalized with enzymes having antibacterial properties. This has the potential to be used as surface coatings of surgical implants and other medical equipment to avoid bacterial colonization. Attana’s QCM technology was employed to evaluate the immobilization of the enzymes to the spider silk and the assembly of the spider silk.Bacteria
