Description
A novel mussel-inspired copolymer coating is deposited by a fast, substrate-independent and up-scalable atmospheric pressure plasma method. New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM-1), a recently discovered antibiotics-degrading enzyme, is further covalently immobilized for the first time on a catechol/quinone functionalized layer. The bioactive layer is exploited for water treatment application, i.e., antibiotics removal from polluted water.
