Abstract

Chiral polyoxometalates (POMs) were deposited onto the inner surface of an ordered cavernous film to construct POM-based chiral interfaces, which exhibit a significantly different chiral influence on the adhesion and proliferation of Escherichia coli (E. coli) cells tuned by protein adsorption. Anti-fouling was also shown for the racemic surface.
