Sodium Mercaptoethane Sulfonate Reduces Collagenolytic Degradation and Synergistically Enhances Antimicrobial Durability in an Antibiotic-Loaded Biopolymer Film for Prevention of Surgical-Site Infections
Figure 4
Degradation of FALGPA by collagenase: FALGPA was exposed to collagenase and collagenase + various concentrations of MeSNA in a kinetic assay. Absorbance () readings were measured every 25 seconds for 5 minutes, normalized to time 0, and plotted over time (a) to determine the rate (in absorbance units/min) of FALGPA degradation (b).
