Studies of a Tripodal Biomimetic Siderophore Analog: An Efficient Encapsulation for Fe(III) Ion
A new tris-(2-aminoethyl)amine (TREN) capped tripodal Schiff base ligand has been developed by mimicking structural features of a natural siderophore, Bacillibactin, by substituting the catechol units with salicylaldehyde and employing amino acid as spacer. Synthesis of the ligand N-[2-[bis[2-[[2-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)methylamino]acetyl] amino]ethyl]amino]ethyl]-2-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)methylamino]...
متن کاملImprinting Technology in Electrochemical Biomimetic Sensors
Biosensors are a promising tool offering the possibility of low cost and fast analytical screening in point-of-care diagnostics and for on-site detection in the field. Most biosensors in routine use ensure their selectivity/specificity by including natural receptors as biorecognition element. These materials are however too expensive and hard to obtain for every biochemical molecule of interest...
متن کاملMolecular Imprinting Techniques Used for the Preparation of Biosensors
Molecular imprinting is the technology of creating artificial recognition sites in polymeric matrices which are complementary to the template in their size, shape and spatial arrangement of the functional groups. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) and their incorporation with various transducer platforms are among the most promising approaches for detection of several analytes. There are a v...
متن کاملPreparation and Characterization of Hydroxyapatite Coating on Ti6Al4V Cylinders by Combination of Alkali-Heat Treatments and Biomimetic Method
Biomimetic method was used to apply hydroxyapatite (HA) coating onto Ti6Al4V cylinders. This process is a physicochemical method in which a substrate is soaked in a solution simulating the physiological conditions, for a period of time enough to form a desirable layer of the calcium phosphate on the substrate. In the present study, specimens were soaked in 5, 10 M solutions of NaOH at temperatu...
متن کاملTunable Sensor Response by Voltage-Control in Biomimetic Hair Flow Sensors
We present an overview of improvements in detection limit and responsivity of our biomimetic hair flow sensors by electrostatic spring-softening (ESS). Applying a DCbias voltage to our capacitive flow sensors improves the responsively by up to 80% for flow signals at frequencies below the sensor’s resonance. Application of frequency matched AC-bias voltages allows for tunable filtering and sele...
