Vitamins: Surface Chemistry of Vitamin: Pyridoxal 5′‐Phosphate (Vitamin B6) as a Multifunctional Compound for Surface Functionalization (Adv. Funct. Mater. 30/2015). (10th August 2015) - Lee, Jung Seung
Abstract : Pyridoxal 5′‐phosphate (PLP), an active form of vitamin B6, is demonstrated as a multifunctional compound for surface functionalization by S.‐W. Cho, H. Lee, and co‐workers on page 4754. The functionalized surfaces are hydrophilic and allow for covalent tethering of bioactive molecules, enhancing adhesion, migration, and proliferation of cells. This surface coating promotes the healing of biomedical devices by improving functionality and biocompatibility
