Model peptide Parseq-β with BamHI recognition site added in the start.
Figure 1. General mechanism of action when the antimicrobial agent is fused to BBa_K3182010 which contains the linker, thrombin site and cellulose binding domain. The cellulose binding domain enables the attachment of antimicrobial agents (such as antimicrobial peptide or enzyme) to the cellulose. This also inactivates the agents when they are expressed in its bacterial host. Later, when the bandage comes in contact with thrombin in the blood, the antimicrobial agents will be activated upon cleavage of its thrombin site.
