Detergents, eye rinses and other products with an on/off switch

Time August 21, 2007 - 4:00am Link Detergents, eye rinses and other products with an on/off switch Description Researchers at an American Chemical Society meeting will report the development of an unusual biological detergent, called a Pepfactant, a surfactant made from peptides, protein subunits. Its potential applications range from a laundry detergent that hardly needs a rinse cycle to a non-irritating eye rinse to increasing the amount of oil that companies can extract from a well. The development will be described in August at the society's national meeting in Boston.
