MOHORČIČ, Martina, et al. Surface with antimicrobial activity obtained through silane coating with covalently bound polymyxin B.

Surfaces exhibiting antimicrobial activity were prepared for potential medical application. A polycationic lipopeptide polymyxin B was selected as thebioactive agent for covalent immobilization onto the surface. Bioactive coatings with covalently bound polycationic peptides have potential for application on medical devices where leakage into the surrounding is not allowed in order to prevent bacterial growth and biofilm formation.

GAŠPERŠIČ, J ..., BENČINA, M, VORBERG, I, JERALA, R. Tetracysteine-tagged prion protein allows discrimination between the native and converted forms.

The conformational conversion of prion protein (PrP) from a native conformation to the amyloid form is a hallmark of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. We report a new method for the synthesis of membrane-permeable and membrane-impermeable biarsenical reagents, which are then used to monitor murine PrP (mPrP) misfolding.
