Abstract
- O-acyl chitosans have stronger effects than parent chitosan on membrane models.
- Hydrogen bonding with phospholipids appears not to be crucial for activity.
- Results confirm the importance of hydrophobic interactions.
- Hydrophobic derivatives should be more effective if activity depends on the membrane.
