Abstract
Materials and methods for prevention of biofouling are described that incorporate the presence of a conotoxin peptide on a surface. The conotoxin peptide is either directly or indirectly adhered to the surface and interferes with the ability of biofouling organisms to settle on the surface.
Claims17
A substrate comprising a surface, a polymeric linking agent bonded to the surface, and a a conotoxin peptide bonded to the polymeric linking agent such that the polymeric linking agent is between the surface and the conotoxin peptide.
