NANO EXPRESS Protein Functionalized Nanodiamond Arrays

چکیده
Various nanoscale elements are currently being explored for bio-applications, such as in bio-images, biodetection, and bio-sensors. Among them, nanodiamonds possess remarkable features such as low bio-cytotoxicity, good optical property in fluorescent and Raman spectra, and good photostability for bio-applications. In this work, we devise techniques to position functionalized nanodiamonds on self-assembled monolayer (SAMs) arrays adsorbed on silicon and ITO substrates surface using electron beam lithography techniques. The nanodiamond arrays were functionalized with lysozyme to target a certain biomolecule or protein specifically. The optical properties of the nanodiamond-protein complex arrays were characterized by a high throughput confocal microscope. The synthesized nanodiamond-lysozyme complex arrays were found to still retain their functionality in interacting with E. coli.

متن کاملMolecular imaging by optically detected electron spin resonance of nitrogen-vacancies in nanodiamonds.
We propose a novel biomedical imaging technique, called nanodiamond imaging, that noninvasively records the three-dimensional distribution of biologically tagged nanodiamonds in vivo. Our technique performs optically detected electron spin resonance of nitrogen-vacancy centers in nanodiamonds, a nontoxic nanomaterial that is easily biologically functionalized. We demonstrate the feasibility of ...
متن کاملAmine functionalized nanodiamond promotes cellular adhesion, proliferation and neurite outgrowth.
In this study, we report the production of amine functionalized nanodiamond. The amine functionalized nanodiamond forms a conformal monolayer on a negatively charged surface produced via plasma polymerization of acrylic acid. Nanodiamond terminated surfaces were studied as substrates for neuronal cell culture. NG108-15 neuroblastoma-glioma hybrid cells were successfully cultured upon amine func...
متن کاملFunctionalized Carbon Nanotubes Produced by APCVD using Camphor
A simple chemical vapor deposition technique at atmospheric pressure (APCVD) is adopted to synthesize the aligned arrays of functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (AMWCNTs) without using any carrier gas, at 230◦C, 750◦C and 850 ◦C. Camphor (C10H16O) is used as carbon source because this botanical hydrocarbon is chip and abundant which convert the CVD technique to a green method for produc...
متن کاملPolymer-functionalized nanodiamond platforms as vehicles for gene delivery.
Gene therapy holds great promise for treating diseases ranging from inherited disorders to acquired conditions and cancers. Nonetheless, because a method of gene delivery that is both effective and safe has remained elusive, these successes were limited. Functional nanodiamonds (NDs) are rapidly emerging as promising carriers for next-generation therapeutics with demonstrated potential. Here we...
