X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy Reveals the Chemical Composition of Antimicrobial Self-Assembled Thin Films Containing the LL-37 Peptide

[Display omitted] •XPS is a key tool to study the relative composition of nanofilms with biomolecules.•XPS affects nitrogen group protonation, with empirical α lower than theoretical.•LL-37 proportion is lower in PPCsLL-37-Hep multilayers than in bare LL-37 ones. The surface immobilization of LL-37,...
