Membrane analysis with amphiphilic carbon dots.
Newly-synthesized amphiphilic carbon dots were used for spectroscopic analysis and multicolour microscopic imaging of membranes and live cells. We show that Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) occurred from the amphiphilic carbon dots to different membrane-associated fluorescence acceptors. The amphiphilic carbon dots enabled imaging of membrane disruption by the beta-amyloid peptide.
متن کاملBacterial detection with amphiphilic carbon dots.
New bacterial detection and imaging methods are desirable for diagnostics and healthcare applications, as well as in basic scientific research. We present a simple analytical platform for bacterial detection and imaging based upon attachment of amphiphilic carbon dots (CDs) to bacterial cells. We show that CDs functionalized with hydrocarbon chains readily bind to bacterial cells following shor...
متن کاملHighly luminescent biocompatible Carbon Quantum Dots by encapsulation with an amphiphilic polymer.
Highly luminescent, water-soluble and biocompatible Carbon Quantum Dots (aqCQDs) were prepared by encapsulating the parent hydrophobic CQDs in an amphiphilic polymer. The resulting aqCQDs were non-toxic to living cells, and were found to cross the cell membrane and localise primarily in the cytosol.
متن کاملUnilamellar vesicles from amphiphilic graphene quantum dots.
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have attracted considerable interest due to their unique physicochemical properties and various applications. For the first time it is shown that GQDs surface-functionalized with hydrocarbon chains (i.e., amphiphilic GQDs) self-assemble into unilamellar spherical vesicles in aqueous solution. The amphiphilic GQD vesicles exhibit multicolor luminescence that can be r...
متن کاملMathematical Modeling of Gas Separation Process with Flat Carbon Membrane
Carbon molecular sieve membranes (CMSMs) have been considered as very promising candidates for gas separation, in terms of separation properties as well as thermal and chemical stability. Due to the numerous advantages and wide applications of carbon membranes, their application for gas separation is of special importance. Because of the importance of carbon membranes and a large number of stud...
