Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is one of the best characterized enzyme maintaining the redox state in the cell. A bacterial expression system was used to produce human recombinant manganese SOD with a His-tag on the C-end of the protein for better purification. In addition, gold and silver nanoparticles were chemically synthesized in a variety of sizes...

During the last decades the applications of nanotechnology in the biomedical field have attracted a lot of attention. Magnetic and gold nanoparticles (MNPs and GNPs) became a new area of interest as selective tools for tumour treatment, due to their unique properties and biocompatibility. In this paper Superparamagnetic-Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (MN...

Waste cellulosic biomass obtains various applications due to low-cost and eco-benign characteristics. A general strategy is proposed for waste cellulosic biomass to be modified with dialdehyde functional groups as intermediates through periodate partial oxidation. Finally, aminothiourea-modified waste cellulosic biomass can be prepared through Schi...

Thiol-based self-assembled anchor linked to glucose oxidase (GOx) and gold nanoparticle (GNP) cluster is suggested to enhance the performance of glucose biosensor. By the adoption of thiol-based anchors, the activity of biocatalyst consisting of GOx, GNP, polyethyleneimine (PEI) and carbon nanotube (CNT) is improved because they play a crucial role...

This lecture presents the different steps regarding the development of a label-free SERS analytical method that was able to overcome the nanoparticle stabilisation caused by serum proteins. It relied on the pre-aggregation of the SERS substrate, which was a suspension of gold nanoparticles. Furthermore, several applications of the developed methodo...

The analysis of serum samples by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has gained ground over the last years. However, the stabilisation of colloids by the proteins contained in these samples has restricted their use in common practice, unless antibodies or aptamers are used. Therefore, this work was dedicated to the development of a SERS meth...

A novel [email protected] nanocatalyst was successfully self-assembled induced by host-guest interaction between ferrocene and beta-cyclodextrin. This self-assembly system consisted of Fe3O4 nanoparticles modified with ferrocene ([email protected]) and gold nanoparticles coated with beta-cyclodextrin ([email protected]). The self-assembly process between these two kinds of nano...

Here, we established a reversible light-responsive assembly system, which consisted of azobenzene grafted mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-AZO) and cyclodextrin-functionalized Au nanoparticles ([email protected]). The assembly system was constructed by the host-guest interaction between azobenzene and beta-cyclodextrin. For controlled release, the cargo ...

The use of Ionic Liquids (ILs) to enhance the electrocatalytic activity of metal nanoparticles has garnered sustained research interest. However, current strategies involving ionic liquids do not exploit their use and advantages in chemical synthesis of metal nanoparticles. Herein, we demonstrate a straightforward method, which combines the advanta...
