In recent years there has been growing interest in developing simple and cost-effective nanosensors for rapid detection of biomolecules and biomarkers [1,2]. Nanomaterials with intrinsic peroxidase-like activity (nanozymes) have been emerged as a new generation of artificial enzymes [[3], [4], [...
Raman optical activity, which can be measured as a small circularly polarized component in Raman-scattered light from chiral molecules, holds much promise for studying a large range of biomolecules in aqueous solution. Among other things, it provides information about motif and fold, as well as se...
Many psychrophilic microorganisms synthesize ice-binding proteins (IBPs) to survive the cold. The functions of IBPs are evaluated by the effect of the proteins on the nonequilibrium water freezing-point depression, which is called “thermal hysteresis (T
2. Thus, cold-adapted microbiomes are very important for the global ecology, while their biological activities maintain the nutrient flux in the environment and contribute to the global biogeochemical
Context: The conjugation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with biomolecules such as oligosaccharides, DNA, proteins has attracted great attention of scientists recently. Objective: In this study, lysozyme–AgNP conjugates were evaluated for its synergic antimicrobial effect. Materials and methods: AgNPs ...
For example, the morphology of Ag-NPs changes depending on the stabilizer used [45]. Using a UV–Vis absorption peak, it was discovered that increasing the concentration of plant extract leads to a stronger binding of the capping agents and the biomolecules. Ultimately, the study concluded that...
