A bioinspired hybrid silica–protein material with antimicrobial activity by iron uptake Carmona Rodríguez-Acosta, Fernando Mendoza, Daniela Megía Fernández, Alicia Santoyo González, Francisco Domínguez Vera, José Manuel Iron Antimicrobial Ferritin Lactoferrin A silica–protein hybrid material has been prepared by simultaneous covalent deposition of apoferritin and lactoferrin on functionalized silica. This material exhibits strong antibacterial activity against E. coli due to its high iron-uptake capacity. 2017-07-21T11:00:18Z 2017-07-21T11:00:18Z 2013 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Carmona Rodríguez-Acosta, F.; et al.
