UNLABELLED Human noroviruses are icosahedral single-stranded RNA viruses. The capsid protein is divided into shell (S) and protruding (P) domains, which are connected by a flexible hinge region. There are numerous genetically and antigenically distinct noroviruses, and the dominant strains evolve every other year. Vaccine and antiviral development is hampered by the difficulties in growing huma...

The purposes of this study were to investigate the impacts of concentration levels of whey protein isolate (WPI) and inulin on the formation and physicochemical properties of WPI/inulin nano complexes and to evaluate their potential prebiotic effects. WPI/inulin nano complexes were produced using the internal gelation method. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and particle size analyzer wer...

Editorial " …nanomedicine is one of the most important subjects at the very cutting edge of modern science and … Nanomedicine is the voice of this efflorescent discipline. " How we got here, where we are going and being a cog in something turning I am delighted that Nanomedicine will be going to eight issues in 2009, only 3 years after the journal's inauguration. This means that the scientific ...

zno nanorod was prepared by microwave assisted method. the crystal structure of the nano powders were confirmed by x-ray diffraction analysis and the mean particle size was estimated by the scherrer,s formula .the surface morphology of the nano particles were analyzed by   using sem . the absorption spectrum of the material in the uv-vis range was recorded .the energy band gap of the material w...

a new approach for the synthesis of prussian blue nanoparticles using the cationic surfactant cetyl pyridinium chloride (cpc) as capping agent has been developed in the present work. powder x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, uv–vis absorption spectra, and ir spectroscopy were employed to characterize the product. the tem image showed that the prussian blue nanoparticles with d...
