📚adjective

zwitterionic

🗣️

DEFINITION

relating to a molecule that carries both positive and negative electrical charges but is electrically neutral overall

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

The zwitterionic nature of amino acids allows them to dissolve readily in water while maintaining electrical neutrality under physiological ph conditions. Researchers developed zwitterionic coatings for medical implants that significantly reduce protein adsorption and bacterial adhesion on device surfaces in clinical settings. The chemistry professor explained how zwitterionic surfactants behave differently from conventional charged detergents in various industrial cleaning and pharmaceutical applications. Zwitterionic polymers have gained considerable attention in biomedical engineering because they resist nonspecific protein binding and improve blood compatibility of implanted materials. Scientists synthesized novel zwitterionic compounds that exhibit excellent antifouling properties making them ideal candidates for marine coatings and water treatment membranes.
