Kinetic analyses of r(P)ApoB_L^Pro release from PDMS (a). The obtained red curve is the best fit of the experimental values (black squares) obtained by a logistic function. Evaluation of the antibacterial activity of PDMS functionalized with two different concentrations (30 and 160 μM) of r(P)ApoB_L^Pro peptide and incubated with 0.5X nutrient broth (NB) for 400 min at 37 °C. Upon incubation, both PDMS (b) and the medium containing released peptide (c) were tested for their activity towards E. coli ATCC 25922. Data represent the mean (±SD) of at least two independent experiments, each one carried out with triplicate determinations. Significant differences were indicated as *** (p < 0.001).
