Tailored lysozyme–ZnO nanoparticle conjugates as nanoantibiotics†
Abstract
Covalently attached lysozyme–ZnO nanoparticle (L–ZNP) conjugates were synthesized by a low temperature solution route. Tailored L–ZNP conjugates exhibit pronounced antibacterial features against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus).
