The cyanoacrylate polymer particles, which do not contain antibiotics or antibacterial agents, bond with the cell wall of drug-resistant bacteria, and then induced an auto-destructive behavior that causes the bacteria to destroy itself. Because of this, the drug-resistant bacteria are unable to arise. One noteworthy point of this nano-polymer is that it excels in safety given its induction of b...

– The effective Coulomb interaction between globular proteins is calculated as a function of monovalent salt concentration cs, by explicit Molecular Dynamics simulations of pairs of model proteins in the presence of microscopic co and counterions. For discrete charge patterns of monovalent sites on the surface, the resulting osmotic virial coefficient B2 is found to be a strikingly non-monotoni...

in the present study, a simple, efficient and fast synthetic strategy was reported for the green biosynthesis of silver nanostructures (i.e. nanoroads and nanoparticles) by the extract of suaeda acuminata plant, without any catalyst, template or surfactant. aqueous extracts were obtained by maceration and microwave assisted extraction (mae) methods. in mae procedure, the effect of microwave pow...

dissolved nitrogen predispersed solvent extraction (dnpdse) is a new method devised for improving the performance of equipment utilized in the solvent extraction (sx) method, especially for dilute solutions. in this method, for mixing the two phases, bubble dispersion of the organic phase (colloidal gas aphrons [cgas]) is used instead of its drop dispersion in the aqueous phase. through increas...

Ratiometric Nanothermometers Organic nanoparticles based on persistent TTM radicals containing excimers and isolated molecules exhibit all characteristics of ratiometric nanothermometers showing excellent temperature sensitivity, reversibility, high colloidal stability. In-vivo experiments made with Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) indicate that they can monitor changes at the (nano)-micron ...

introduction : the encapsulation of nutraceuticals in lipid based carriers, such as liposomes, can lead to increasing of bio-active ingredients bioavailability and controlled release, maintaining their stability in different environmental conditions and increasing solubility of hydrophobic active ingredients in aqueous conditions. food grade liposomes are being increasingly used in food industr...
