Background: Infection that is related to implanted biomaterials is a serious issue in the clinic. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been considered as an ideal alternative to traditional antibiotic drugs, for the treatment of infections, while some problems, such as aggregation and protein hydrolysis, are still the dominant concerns that compromise their antimicrobial efficiency in vivo. Methods: In this study, antimicrobial peptides underwent self-assembly on gold substrates, forming good antibacterial surfaces, with stable antibacterial behavior. The antimicrobial ability of AMPs grafted on the surfaces, with or without glycine spaces or a primer layer, was evaluated. Results: Specifically, three Pac-525 derivatives, namely, Ac-CGn-KWRRWVRWI-NH2 (n = 0, 2, or 6) were covalently grafted onto gold substrates via the self-assembling process for inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). Furthermore, the alkanethiols HS(CH)10SH were firstly self-assembled into monolayers, as a primer layer (SAM-SH) for the secondary self-assembly of Pac-525 derivatives, to effectively enhance the bactericidal performance of the grafted AMPs. The -(CH)10-S-S-G6Pac derivative was highly effective against S. aureus and E. coli, and reduced the viable amount of E. coli and S. aureus to 0.4% and 33.2%, respectively, after 24 h of contact. In addition, the immobilized AMPs showed good biocompatibility, promoting bone marrow stem cell proliferation. Conclusion: the self-assembled monolayers of the Pac-525 derivatives have great potential as a novel therapeutic method for the treatment of implanted biomaterial infections.

Four calixarene supramolecular compounds, RCT, PCT, MRCT, and TBCA as active materials, were immobilized on gold substrates of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensors by using L-cysteine self-assembled monolayer (SAM) as a linker. The RCT immobilized QCM sensor possessed the best response characteristics for methanol molecule when the assembling concentration of RCT reached 1.0 mg/mL. The frequency shift response value of the RCT immobilized QCM sensor was in direct proportion to the concentration of methanol vapor with a range of 0 ~ 6000 ppm. Comparing with a gas chromatography, the proposed QCM sensor could be well used for the determination of methanol vapor with a recovery rate of 98.01 ~ 103.9 %, and the two methods showed a well consistent examination result. Also, the sensor possessed good reproducibility and stability, showing that the RCT immobilized QCM sensor can be applied for the detection of the methanol vapor of atmospheric polutants in our living environment.
