  "summary": "Proteins with exposed arginine can selectively accumulate even on protein-resistant coatings, as reported by researchers from Science Tokyo. Through an in-depth analysis of which proteins adhere and how they adhere to various anti-fouling surfaces, the team found that arginine disrupts the protective water layer that normally blocks adsorption. Their results will help scientists develop safer and…",
