These fabrics were subjected to a washing test to examine the amount of desorbed AgNPs. The kinetic, isotherm, and thermodynamic parameters were examined to explain the desorption process. It has been found that the desorbed process was fitted with a pseudo second order kinetic model and the Freundlich isotherm. In addition, it was determined that the desorption process occurred spontaneously. Moreover, these fabrics showed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and antifungal activity against Candida albicans even after the fourth washing test. Additionally, molecular docking was conducted to evaluate the antiviral potential of alkaloids of Caulerpa lentillifera against SARS-CoV-2. According to the results, alkaloids of Caulerpa lentillifera were found to be an effective antiviral agent against SARS-CoV-2.}, number={3}, publisher={Ege University}
