Sericin-chitosan doped maleate gellan gum nanocomposites for effective cell damage in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Polysaccharides are increasingly used as biodegradable nanocarrier to selectively deliver therapeutic agents to specific cells. In this study, maleate gellan gum (MA-GG) formed by addition of free radical polymerizable groups, which can be polymerized presence of acetone to design biodegradable three-dimensional networks, were synthesized by esterification. Natural silk sericin was grafted over the maleate gellan gum surface. Maleate Gellan Gum-...
