Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are promising tools as drug delivery devices. However, upon intravenous injection, they aggregate and are rapidly eliminated from the systemic circulation by macrophages in the reticuloendothelial system, resulting in relatively s ...
This work describes different strategies for the detection of biologically relevant analytes. The main goal was to achieve sensing in water, which is a prerequisite for application to real biological samples. In several cases, we could demonstrate that our ...
Chemiluminescence, i.e. the emission of light from a chemical reaction, offers interesting opportunities for developing point-of-care biosensors. However, commercially available systems are expensive, bulky, and primarily addressed to laboratory usage. The ...
Peptides are an attractive class of molecules for the development of therapeutics because they combine unique properties such as high binding affinity, excellent target specificity, low toxicity and a relatively small mass. However, the short in vivo half- ...
A novel trans-platinum(II) complex bearing one dimethylamine (dma) and one methylamine (ma) ligand, namely trans-[PtCl2(dma)(ma)], recently synthesised and characterised in our laboratory, displayed relevant antiproliferative properties in vitro, being mor ...
A novel ruthenium(II) compound, trans-cis-cis-[Ru(II)Cl-2(DMSO)(2)(2-amino-5-methyl-thiazole)(2)], (I), PMRu52 hereafter, that may be obtained from the previously described (cis and trans)[Ru(II)Cl-2(DMSO)(4)] complexes, was designed, synthesized and chara ...
A method based on the coupling of high resolution size-exclusion liquid chromatography using a polymer stationary phase with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was developed to study the interactions of two metallodrugs - cisplatin and RAPTA-T - ...
Two protocols of covalent attachment of proteins onto the calcite surface, viz. one using the metallochelat and second using the aminohexil, are elaborated. Single molecule force spectroscopy method has been used to test their efficiency and practical appl ...
Real-time monitoring of glutamate, being the primary excitatory neurotransmitter, is of utmost importance for understanding the functioning of the central nervous system. Since expected concentrations and its variation in the brain are in the range of 0.5 ...
A scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) protein detection methodology has been developed based on the tagging of free cysteines and other nucleophiles in proteins and peptides by benzoquinone. The tagged proteins are detected by the mediated reduction ...
