Question Which structural features make bacterial proteins stick to plastics, and can we use them to design peptides that block adhesion?</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026a/maria-jose-perez-crespo/projects/individual-final-project/overview/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
