Biofabrication by using fungi is an exciting recent interest to develop an eco-friendly production of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) for pharmaceutical applications. This study aimed to synthesize and characterize gold (Au) and silver (Ag) NPs by using Penicillium simplisimum. The fungus was grown in fluid czapek dox broth on shaker at 28 ºC and 200 rpm for ten days. Then the supernatant was...

Objective: With the increasing incidence of cancer and the dramatic effect of early detection on treatment and increase patient's life, many efforts have been devoted to making sensitive diagnosis systems. DNA as a biomarker for diagnosis of different types of cancers at the early stages of illness has attracted much attention.Methods: In this research novel electrochemical biosensor was ...

This study reports a green approach to synthesis of monometallic platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) and bimetallic aurium@platinum nanoparticles (Au@Pt) using aqueous leaf extract of Carica papaya as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The nature and morphology of as-synthesized PtNPs and bimetallic Au@Pt NPs were characterized using UV/vis spectroscopy (UV–vis), high resolution transmission electro...

we have investigated structure and electronic properties of au and si liner chains using the firstprinciplesplane wave pseudopotential method. the transport properties and conductance of these twoliner chains are studied using landauer approaches based on density functional theory (dft). weobtain density of states and band gap using kohn-sham and wannier functions as well as quantumconductivity...

The microRNA (miRNA)-mediated repression of protein synthesis in mammalian cells is a reversible process. Target mRNAs with regulatory AU-rich elements (AREs) in their 3'-untranslated regions (3'-UTR) can be relieved of miRNA repression under cellular stress in a process involving the embryonic lethal and altered vision family ARE-binding protein HuR. The HuR-mediated derepression occurred even...

This paper describes the consonant inventory of the endangered southern African language N|uu. Our novel approach to segment classification accounts for all 73 N|uu consonants with just four phonetic dimensions (place, manner, phonation, airstream) and does away with the phonetically empty category CLICK ACCOMPANIMENT. We provide ultrasound data showing that the posterior constrictions in click...

Escherichia coli is an indicator in the quality control of pharmaceutical and other samples. Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as a kind of carbon compositions was immobilized on glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Chronoamperometric and reduction methods were used for Au NPs decoration and it completed with polyclonal E. coli antibody and 0.5 W/V% Bovine Serum Albumin solution. Morphology and structure ...

a new schiff base 2-aminothiophenol furfural self assembled monolayer (sam) has been fabricated on a bare gold electrode as a novel sensor for determination of dopamine. electrochemical impedance spectroscopywas utilized to investigate the properties of the au 2-aminothiophenol furfural self assembled monolayermodified electrode (au atf sam-me) using the [fe(cn)6]3-/4- redox couple. the electro...
