Micrometer-scale monodisperse droplets are produced to generate nanowalled supramolecular microcapsules using microfluidics for high reproducibility and high-throughput manipulation, efficient material consumption, control over hierarchical structure, shape, size. In this study, an optimized microfluidic droplet generation technique a unique liquid–liquid interfacial polymerization method were ...

Microcapsules made of synthetic polymers are used for the release cargo in agriculture, food, and cosmetics but often difficult to be degraded environment. To diminish environmental impact microcapsules, we use biofilm-forming ability bacteria grow cellulose-based biodegradable microcapsules. The present work focuses on design optimization self-grown bacterial cellulose capsules. In contrast th...

Surfactants are amphiphilic molecules with the ability to modify surface tension between two surfaces. They can be obtained by various methods, main one being synthetic, from petroleum-based substrates. Their universal use in a wide range of fields has created global market and, consequently, ecological, and economic expectations for their production. Biocatalyzed processes, involving enzymes, ...

Protein characterization plays a role in two key aspects of structural proteomics. The first is the quality assessment of the produced protein preparations. Obtaining well diffracting crystals is one of the major bottlenecks in the structure-determination pipeline. Often, this is caused by the poor quality of the protein preparation used for crystallization trials. Hence, it is essential to per...

Amphipols (APols) are short amphipathic polymers that can substitute for detergents to keep membrane proteins (MPs) water-soluble while stabilizing them biochemically. We have examined the factors that determine the size and dispersity of MP/APol complexes and studied the dynamics of the association, taking as a model system the transmembrane domain of Escherichia coli outer membrane protein A ...

Nitrogen doped graphene hollow microspheres (NGHSs) have been used as the supports for the growth of the CoO nanoparticles. The nitrogen doped structure favors the nucleation and growth of the CoO nanoparticles and the CoO nanoparticles are mostly anchored on the quaternary nitrogen doped sites of the NGHSs with good monodispersity since the higher electron density of the quaternary nitrogen fa...

Presently, one of the most ambitious technological goals is the development of devices working under the laws of quantum mechanics. One prominent target is the quantum computer, which would allow the processing of information at quantum level for purposes not achievable with even the most powerful computer resources. The large-scale implementation of quantum information would be a game changer ...

A novel enzyme immobilization approach was used to generate mesoporous enzymes-silica composite microparticles by co-entrapping gelatinized starch and cross-linked phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) aggregates (CLEAs) containing gelatinized starch into biomemitic silica and subsequently removing the starch by α-amylase treatment. During the preparation process, the gelatinzed starch served as a ...

This review provides brief information concerning with the dendrimer, its synthesis, characterization and application in drug delivery. Dendrimer consist of well defined size, shape, molecular weight and monodispersity. These properties formulate the dendrimers a suitable carrier in drug delivery application. Dendrimer are built from number of molecular entities of colloidal paticles that exist...

Self-assembly of structurally tunned nearly monodispersed HgTe ssDNA nanostars of average size 1.4 nm have been achieved by manipulating HgTe nanoparticles using single stranded (ss) DNA under galvanostatic condition. The nanostars are linked with one another by ssDNA of length 0.35 nm. Whereas, HgTe nanoparticles without ssDNA complexation show a polycrystalline character with size in the rang...
