Chiral Antioxidant-based Gold Nanoclusters Reprogram DNA Epigenetic Patterns
Epigenetic modifications sit 'on top of' the genome and influence DNA transcription, which can force a significant impact on cellular behavior and phenotype and, consequently human development and disease. Conventional methods for evaluating epigenetic modifications have inherent limitations and, hence, new methods based on nanoscale devices are needed. Here, we found that antioxidant (glutathi...
متن کاملAn atomic-level strategy for unraveling gold nanocatalysis from the perspective of Au(n)(SR)m nanoclusters.
An atomic-level strategy is devised to gain insight into the origin of nanogold catalysis by using atomically monodisperse Au(n)(SR)(m) nanoclusters as well-defined catalysts for styrene oxidation. The Au(n)(SR)(m) nanoclusters are emerging as a new class of gold nanocatalyst to overcome the polydispersity of conventional nanoparticle catalysts. The unique atom-packing structure and electronic ...
متن کاملMolecular Chirality and Chiral Parameters
Chirality permeates the entire fabric of the biological world. Indeed, life as we know it could not exist without chirality. The function of fundamental components of the cell, like actin, myosin, proteins, and lipids, relies upon their being chiral. The handedness of a molecule can affect its odor, potency, and toxicity. Thus the synthesis of a single enantiomer of a compound is crucial for th...
متن کاملInsights into the Distinguishing Stress-induced Cytotoxicity of Chiral Gold Nanoclusters and the Relationship with GSTP1
Chiral gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) exhibit attracting properties owing to their unique physical and chemical properties. Herein we report for the first time chiral gold nanoclusters' cytotoxicity and potential molecular mechanism. The L-glutathione (i.e. L-GSH) and D-glutathione (i.e. D-GSH)-capped Au NCs were prepared and characterized by HRTEM, UV-vis, photoluminescence and circular dichroism ...
متن کاملCatalysis by Supported Gold Nanoclusters
The physical and chemical properties of supported Au clusters are markedly sensitive to cluster size and morphology. To investigate the origin of the unique properties of nanosized Au clusters, model catalysts consisting of Au clusters of varying sizes have been prepared on single crystal TiO2(110) and ultrathin films of single crystalline TiO2, SiO2, and Al2O3. The morphology, electronic struc...
