Biological Activity
Low-molecular-weight chitosan can penetrate bacterial cell walls, bind with DNA and inhibit DNA transcription and mRNA synthesis, while high-molecular-weight Chitosan can bind to the negatively charged components on the bacterial cell wall. It forms an impermeable layer around the cell, changes cell permeability and blocks transport into the cell. Chitosan also can be used in water treatment, wound-healing materials, pharmaceutical excipient or drug carrier, obesity research and as a scaffold for tissue engineering[1].
