Magnetic properties of ferritin and akaganeite nanoparticles in aqueous suspension
We have studied the magnetically induced optical birefringence Δn of horse spleen ferritin (HSF) and aqueous suspensions of several different-sized iron oxyhydroxide nanoparticles coated with different polysaccharides mimicking ferritin. The structure and dimensions of the akaganeite mineral core were characterized by XRD and TEM, respectively. The stability of the suspensions in the measuremen...
متن کاملUsing biofunctionalized nanoparticles to probe pathogenic bacteria.
In this paper, we report a method for fabricating biofunctionalized nanoparticles by attaching human immunoglobulin (IgG) onto their surfaces through either electrostatic interactions or covalent binding. We found that these IgG-presenting nanoparticles can bind selectively to the cell walls of pathogens that contain IgG-binding sites based on the investigation of transmission electron microsco...
متن کاملThe acute liver injury in rat caused by gold nanoparticles
Objective(s): Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) command a great deal of attention for biomedical applications nowadays. The data about the degree of toxicity and the accumulation of gold nanoparticles in-vivo is not enough to judge. Materials and Methods: A total of 32 healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 including: three GNP-treated and one control group. Groups 1, 2 and 3 receive...
متن کاملProtein freeze concentration and micro-segregation analysed in a temperature-controlled freeze container
To examine effects of varied freezing conditions on the development of spatial heterogeneity in the frozen protein solution, macroscopic freeze concentration and micro-segregation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated in a temperature-controlled 200-ml freeze container. Freezing to -40 °C promoted formation of protein concentration gradients (69-114 μg ml-1) in frozen samples taken fr...
متن کاملDamage to Strawberries Caused by Simulated Transport
The quality and condition of perishable products delivered to the market and their subsequent selling prices are directly affected by the care taken during harvesting and handling. Mechanical injury, in fact, occurs at all stages, from pre-harvest operations through post-harvest handling, packing and transport to the market. The main implications of this damage are the reduction of the product’...
