Properties
Description
Tryptophan-modified chitosan incorporates aromatic amino acid residues into the chitosan matrix. The chitosan-tryptophan conjugate maintains inherent mucoadhesive properties while gaining tryptophan's UV-absorption characteristics and potential π-π stacking interactions for drug complexation.
