TL;DR: In this article, the effect of antimicrobial activities of chitosan and acetic acid against Escherichia coli was investigated by the method of Acetic acid hydrolysis, and the mechanism of antibacterial activity was that E. coli was flocculated.

TL;DR: In this article, the protonation constants of chitosans with different molecular weight (Mw) and degree of deacetylation were demonstrated by the modified Henderson-Hasselbalch model and Hogfeldt's three-parameter model.

TL;DR: The fluorescence experiments indicated CMs had influenced the structure of membrane, especially the OCMs were speculated to interact with proteins on the cell membrane, which changed the permeability of membrane and caused cellular leakage that correlated with the hydrophobic interaction between CMs and cytoplasmic membrane phospholipids of Gram-negative bacteria.

TL;DR: A transmission electron microscopy study showed that the formation of near spherical shape nanoparticles had enough structural integrity and the loading ability of hydrophobically modified chitosan (LA-chitOSan) was investigated by using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a model protein.

TL;DR: Results revealed the potential of OAE nanoparticles as oral carriers for sustained release of vitamin D(3) in gastrointestinal fluid and the loading and release characteristics of nanoparticles based on OAE were investigated.
