Atomic-scale simulations of reactive oxygen plasma species interacting with bacterial cell walls

2012-09-26

Abstract excerpt

In recent years there has been growing interest in the use of low-temperature atmospheric pressure plasmas for biomedical applications. Currently, however, there is very little fundamental knowledge regarding the relevant interaction mechanisms of plasma species with living cells. In this paper, we investigate the interaction of important plasma species, such as O 3 , O 2 and O atoms, with bacterial peptidoglycan...
