KAT Ligation for Rapid and Facile Covalent Attachment of Biomolecules to Surfaces
Nako Nakatsuka, Nicholas Spencer
The efficient and bioorthogonal chemical ligation reaction between potassium acyltrifluoroborates (KATs) and hydroxylamines (HAs) was used for the surface functionalization of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) with biomolecules. An alkane thioether molecule ...
2021New Evidence for Ag-Sputtered Materials Inactivating Bacteria by Surface Contact without the Release of Ag Ions: End of a Long Controversy?
The study provides new evidence for Ag-coated polyester (PES) mediating Escherichia colt inactivation by way of genetically engineered E. coli (without porins, from now denoted porinless bacteria). This allows the quantification of the bactericidal kinetic ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2020Silver Nanomaterials in Contemporary Molecular Physiology Research
Silver nanoparticles have numerous potential applications in engineering, industry, biology and medicine. Because of their unique chemical properties, they have become the focus of many research teams all over the world. Silver nanoparticles may exhibit si ...
BENTHAM SCIENCE PUBL LTD2020Shape Engineering of Metal-Organic Frameworks via MOF@Polymer Composite Fabrication
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a fascinating class of porous materials that have become the subject of research owing to their unique characteristics such as high surface areas, low densities, and structural tunability. Recently, the research has been ...
EPFL2020Transforming Phosphogypsum Waste into Products with Market Value
Vast amounts of phosphogypsum (PG) which is a by-product of phosphorous acid production from apatite rock using sulphuric acid, are deposited in large piles at many locations worldwide. PG materials are added at rates of the order of megatonnes (Mt) per an ...
Paul Scherrer Institute, World Resources Forum2019Nuclear Quantum Effects in Sodium Hydroxide Solutions from Neural Network Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) cause the nuclei of light elements like hydrogen to delocalize, affecting numerous properties of water and aqueous solutions, such as hydrogen-bonding and proton transfer barriers. Here, we address the prototypical case of aq ...
2018Nanotoxicology: 2D analysis in a 3D matrix
Anders Meibom, Louise Helene Soegaard Jensen
Engineered nanoparticles are the fastest growing nanotechnology product, and of increasing environmental concern. Examples include antimicrobial silver nanoparticles, iron oxide particles used in bulk scale for environmental remediation, and micro- and nan ...
2016Effect of media composition on bioavailability and toxicity of silver and silver nanoparticles in fish intestinal cells (RTgutGC)
To understand conditions affecting bioavailability and toxicity of citrate-coated silver nanoparticles (cit-AgNP) and dissolved silver at the luminal enterocyte interface, we exposed rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) gut cells (RTgutGC) in media of contr ...
Taylor & Francis Ltd2016Microstructure of Cu-Ag Uniform Nanoparticulate Films on Polyurethane 3D Catheters: Surface Properties
César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi, Rosendo Sanjines
The preparation, characterization, and antibacterial testing of Cu-Ag sputtered polyurethane (PU) catheters are addressed in this study. PU catheters with different atomic ratios Cu:Ag have been sputtered and led to different optical properties as followed ...
Amer Chemical Soc2016Halide removal from aqueous solution by novel silver-polymeric materials
The objective of this study was to analyze the behavior of a new material, silver-doped polymeric cloth (Ag-cloth), in the removal of bromide and iodide from waters. Silver is immobilized on the cloth, guaranteeing selective adsorption of the halide ions a ...
