Background:

Chitosan thin films offer a stable substrate for advanced material development.
Peptide-bound polyglucosamine layers share structural similarities with bacterial peptidoglycans.
Developing synthetic mimics of bacterial cell walls is crucial for biological research.

Purpose of the Study:

To create nanometric peptide-bound polyglucosamine layers on chitosan films.
To investigate the structural and chemical modifications of these layers.
To assess the stability and properties of the developed thin films.

Main Methods:

Spin coating was used to deposit chitosan films.
Acetylation and N-protected amino acid coupling were employed for modification.
Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation (QCM-D), XPS, ATR-IR, AFM, and contact angle measurements were utilized for characterization.

Main Results:

Successful acetylation and coupling of N-protected glycine peptides were confirmed.
Surface composition, morphology, and wettability changes were monitored.
Material stability in aqueous solutions across different pH values was determined.

Conclusions:

The developed procedures provide a pathway for creating thin layers of acetylated chitin.
These layers show potential for imitating nanometric peptide-substituted glycan layers in bacterial cell walls.
The study offers insights into surface chemistry modifications for biomimetic material development.
