Zwitterionic peptides emerge as a class of highly effective antifouling materials in a wide range of applications such as biosensor, biomedical devices, and implants. We incorporated neutral amino acid spacers with different hydrophobicities, including serine (Ser), glycine (Gly), and leucine (Leu),...
