Abstract
Bioactive coatings that are stabilized against inactivation by weathering are provided including a base associated with a chemically modified enzyme capable of enzymatically degrading a component of an organic stain, optionally a lipase or a lysozyme, and optionally a first polyoxyethylene present in the base and independent of the enzyme. The coatings are optionally overlayered onto a substrate to form an active coating facilitating the removal of organic stains or bacterial organic material.
