  • COMPOSITES CONTAINING POLYPEPTIDES ATTACHED TO POLYSACCHARIDES AND MOLECULES
    Publication number: 20140099444
    Abstract: This document provides methods and materials related to composites or coatings containing polypeptides attached to polysaccharides and/or molecules. For example, methods and materials related to composites or coatings containing polypeptides (e.g., casein polypeptides) attached to polysaccharides (e.g., cellulose) and/or molecules (e.g., calcium containing molecules such as calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate and/or polyesters such as polylactic acid and polyhydroxybutyrate) are provided. A coating provided herein can include both cationic and ionic polymers, polypeptides, or polysaccharides.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 6, 2013
    Publication date: April 10, 2014
    Applicant: The Penn State Research Foundation
    Inventors: Jeffrey M. Catchmark, Dana Meredith Mears, John Siggins, Niharika Mishra
