Carbon Nanodots as Peroxidase Nanozymes for Biosensing.
'Nanozymes', a term coined by Scrimin, Pasquato, and co-workers to describe nanomaterials with enzyme-like characteristics, represent an exciting and emerging research area in the field of artificial enzymes. Indubitably, the last decade has witnessed substantial advancements in the design of a variety of functional nanoscale materials, including metal oxides and carbon-based nanomaterials, whi...
متن کاملNanomaterials with enzyme-like characteristics (nanozymes): next-generation artificial enzymes.
Over the past few decades, researchers have established artificial enzymes as highly stable and low-cost alternatives to natural enzymes in a wide range of applications. A variety of materials including cyclodextrins, metal complexes, porphyrins, polymers, dendrimers and biomolecules have been extensively explored to mimic the structures and functions of naturally occurring enzymes. Recently, s...
متن کاملNano-Carbons as Theranostics
Nano-carbons, including fullerenes, carbon nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and nano-diamonds, are an important class of nanostructures attracting tremendous interests in the past two decades. In this special issue, seven review articles and research reports are collected, to summarize and present the latest progress in the exploration of various nano-carbons for theranostic applicati...
متن کاملFolic acid conjugated ferritins as photosensitizer carriers for photodynamic therapy.
We coupled folic acid as a tumour targeting ligand to the surface of ferritins and loaded them with ZnF16Pc. The resulting nanoconjugates can efficiently hone in on 4T1 tumours in vivo, and, with photoirradiation, leading to suppressed tumour growth and tumour metastasis.
متن کاملGaInN Quantum Wells as Optoelectronic Transducers for Biosensing of Ferritins
In this work, investigations on gallium indium nitride (GaInN) quantum well structures as optochemical transducers in biosensing are presented. In contrast to the conventional electrical read-out of III-nitride-based sensors, a purely optical photoluminescence read-out is performed. Particularly, optical investigations of the iron-storage molecule ferritin deposited on GaInN quantum wells are p...
