چکیده
A facile supramolecular approach to prepare surface functionalized silver nanoparticle conjugates has been established and their enhanced molecular recognition features have been explored to demonstrate the uptake and stimulus responsive release of a phototherapeutic porphyrin dye, the TMPyP.

Mixed DNA-functionalized nanoparticle probes for surface-enhanced Raman scattering-based multiplex DNA detection.
Highly stable silver nanoparticle-oligonucleotide conjugates were prepared. Based on the mixed DNA-functionalized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), multiplex DNA detections were demonstrated successfully by SERS.
متن کاملEnhanced oligonucleotide–nanoparticle conjugate stability using thioctic acid modified oligonucleotides
Metallic nanoparticles of gold functionalized with oligonucleotides conventionally use a terminal thiol modification and have been used in a wide range of applications. Although readily available, the oligonucleotide-nanoparticle conjugates prepared in this way suffer from a lack of stability when exposed to a variety of small molecules or elevated temperatures. If silver is used in place of go...
متن کاملEvaluation of metal nanoparticles for drug delivery systems
Diminazene aceturate is a trypanocide with unwanted toxicity and limited efficacy. It was reasoned that conjugating diminazene aceturate to functionalized nanoparticle would lower untoward toxicity while improving selectivity and therapeutic efficacy. Silver and gold nanoparticles were evaluated for their capacities to serve as carriers for diminazene aceturate. The silver and gold nanoparticle...
متن کاملSelective Magnetic Removal of Pb(II) from Aqueous Solution by Porphyrin Linked-Magnetic Nanoparticles
The discharge of lead containing effluents into the environment and water bodies is harmful for the human, animals, aquatic flora and fauna. Herein, a novel surface engineered magnetic nanoparticle for removing Pb2+ ions was studied. After surface modification of the magnetite by 3-amino-propyltriethoxysilane (APTES) magnetic nanoparticles with covalently linked porphyrins were synthesize...
متن کاملInterrelationship between TiO2 nanoparticle size and kind/size of dyes in the mechanism and conversion efficiency of dye sensitized solar cells.
In order to provide a comprehensive investigation of TiO2 nanoparticle size in relation with different dye types in DSSCs, three sizes of TiO2 nanoparticles and two different dye types including a porphyrin dye (T2) and a ruthenium dye (N3) were synthesized. Steady state current-voltage (J-V) characteristics were investigated for the fabricated DSSCs and the results demonstrated that the optimu...
