Bioactive mesoporous silica nanocomposite films obtained from native and transglutaminase-crosslinked bitter vetch proteins

A new biomaterial made with bitter vetch (BV) proteins crosslinked by transglutaminase (mTGase) and containing aminated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (NP) was obtained, and its antimicrobial and antifungal properties demonstrated and enhanced by nisin entrapping.94
