Plasma-Induced Destruction of Bacterial Cell Wall Components: A Reactive Molecular Dynamics Simulation

2013-02-23

Abstract excerpt

Nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasmas are gaining increasing attention for biomedical applications. However, very little fundamental information on the interaction mechanisms between the plasma species and biological cells is currently available. We investigate the interaction of important plasma species, such as OH, H 2 O 2, O, O 3, as well as O 2 and H 2 O, with bacterial peptidoglycan by means of reactive mol...
