Electrically-driven modulation of surface-grafted RGD peptides for manipulation of cell adhesion

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Dec 21;50(98):15589-92. doi: 10.1039/c4cc06649a. Epub 2014 Oct 31.

Abstract

Reported herein is a switchable surface that relies on electrically-induced conformational changes within surface-grafted arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) oligopeptides as the means of modulating cell adhesion.
