Nanomaterials and nanoparticles: Sources and toxicity
Tập 2 Số 4 - Trang MR17-MR71 - 2007
This review is presented as a common foundation for scientists interested in
nanoparticles, their origin, activity, and biological toxicity. It is written
with the goal of rationalizing and informing public health concerns related to
this sometimes-strange new science of “nano,” while raising awareness of
nanomaterials’ toxicity among scientists and manufacturers handling them. We
show that humans...
Polymer brushes and self-assembled monolayers: Versatile platforms to control cell adhesion to biomaterials (Review)
Tập 4 Số 2 - Trang FA3-FA16 - 2009
This review focuses on the surface modification of substrates with
self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and polymer brushes to tailor interactions with
biological systems and to thereby enhance their performance in bioapplications.
Surface modification of biomedical implants promotes improved biocompatibility
and enhanced implant integration with the host. While SAMs of alkanethiols on
gold substrates...
Molecular-scale structural and functional characterization of sparsely tethered bilayer lipid membranes
Tập 2 Số 1 - Trang 21-33 - 2007
Surface-tethered biomimetic bilayer membranes (tethered bilayer lipid membranes
(tBLMs)) were formed on gold surfaces from phospholipids and a synthetic
1-thiahexa(ethylene oxide) lipid, WC14. They were characterized using
electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, neutron reflection (NR), and
Fourier-transform infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (FT-IRRAS) to
obtain functional and structural...
Settlement and adhesion of algal cells to hexa(ethylene glycol)-containing self-assembled monolayers with systematically changed wetting properties
Tập 2 Số 4 - Trang 143-150 - 2007
Protein resistance of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of hexa(ethylene glycols)
(EG6) has previously been shown to be dependent on the alkoxyl end-group
termination of the SAM, which determines wettability [S. Herrwerth, W. Eck, S.
Reinhardt, and M. Grunze, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 125, 9359 (2003)]. In the present
study, the same series of hexa(ethylene glycols) was used to examine the
correlation betw...
Surface Functionalized Nanofibrillar Cellulose (NFC) Film as a Platform for Immunoassays and Diagnostics
Tập 7 Số 1 - 2012
We introduce a new method to modify films of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) to
produce non-porous, water-resistant substrates for diagnostics. First, water
resistant NFC films were prepared from mechanically disintegrated NFC hydrogel,
and then their surfaces were carboxylated via TEMPO-mediated oxidation. Next,
the topologically functionalized film was activated via EDS/NHS chemistry, and
its re...
Protein adsorption on and swelling of polyelectrolyte brushes: A simultaneous ellipsometry-quartz crystal microbalance study
- 2010
With a coupled spectroscopic ellipsometry-quartz crystal microbalance with
dissipation (QCM-D) experimental setup, quantitative information can be obtained
about the amount of buffer components (water molecules and ions) coupled to a
poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) brush surface in swelling and protein adsorption
processes. PAA Guiselin brushes with more than one anchoring point per single
polymer chain ...
Advanced nanostructures for the control of biofouling: The FP6 EU Integrated Project AMBIO
Tập 3 Số 1 - Trang IR1-IR5 - 2008
The colonization of man made structures by marine or freshwater organisms or
“biofouling” is a problem for maritime and aquaculture industries. Increasing
restrictions on the use of toxic coatings that prevent biofouling, create a gap
in the market that requires new approaches to produce novel nonbiocidal
alternatives. This review details the systematic strategy adopted by an FP6 EU
Integrated Pro...
Formation of supported bacterial lipid membrane mimics
Tập 3 Số 2 - Trang FA41-FA50 - 2008
In recent years, a large effort has been spent on advancing the understanding of
how surface-supported membranes are formed through vesicle fusion. The aim is to
find simple model systems for investigating biophysical and biochemical
interactions between constituents of cell membranes and, for example, drugs and
toxins altering membrane function. Designing and controlling the self-assembly
of mode...
Zeta potential of motile spores of the green alga Ulva linza and the influence of electrostatic interactions on spore settlement and adhesion strength
- 2009
The zeta potential of the motile spores of the green alga (seaweed) Ulva linza
was quantified by video microscopy in combination with optical tweezers and
determined to be −19.3±1.1 mV. The electrostatic component involved in the
settlement and adhesion of spores was studied using electret surfaces consisting
of PTFE and bearing different net charges. As the surface chemistry remains the
same for ...
Comparison Between Empirical Protein Force Fields for the Simulation of the Adsorption Behavior of Structured LK Peptides on Functionalized Surfaces
Tập 7 Số 1 - 2012
All-atom empirical molecular mechanics protein force fields, which have been
developed to represent the energetics of peptide folding behavior in aqueous
solution, have not been parameterized for protein interactions with solid
material surfaces. As a result, their applicability for representing the
adsorption behavior of proteins with functionalized material surfaces should not
be assumed. To add...
