Antimicrobial activity of CdTe QDs modified with lanthanides on pseudomonas aeruginosa
(Mendel University in Brno, 2017-12-31)
The aim of this study is to obtain data based on an experimental procedure and check the effectiveness of some antibacterial agents against pathogenic bacteria. In the present experiment, two different nanoparticles (Cadmium ...
Nanoparticles Suitable for BCAA Isolation Can Serve for Use in Magnetic Lipoplex-Based Delivery System for L, I, V, or R-rich Antimicrobial Peptides
(MDPI, 2016-04-01)
This paper investigates the synthesis of paramagnetic nanoparticles, which are able to bind branched chain amino acids (BCAAs)—leucine, valine, and isoleucine and, thus, serve as a tool for their isolation. Further, by ...
Prostate tumor attenuation in the nu/nu murine model due to antisarcosine antibodies in folate targeted liposomes
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-09-20)
Herein, we describe the preparation of liposomes with folate-targeting properties for the
encapsulation of anti-sarcosine antibodies (antisarAbs@LIP) and sarcosine (sar@LIP). The competitive
inhibitory effects of exogenously ...
The Isolation of DNA by Polycharged Magnetic Particles: An Analysis of the Interaction by Zeta Potential and Particle Size
(MDPI, 2016-04-20)
Magnetic isolation of biological targets is in major demand in the biotechnology industry today. This study considers the interaction of four surface-modified magnetic micro- and nanoparticles with selected DNA fragments. ...
Fluorescence Characterization of Gold Modified Liposomes with Antisense N-myc DNA Bound to the Magnetisable Particles with Encapsulated Anticancer Drugs (Doxorubicin, Ellipticine and Etoposide)
(MDPI, 2016-03-01)
Liposome-based drug delivery systems hold great potential for cancer therapy. The aim
of this study was to design a nanodevice for targeted anchoring of liposomes (with and without
cholesterol) with encapsulated anticancer ...
Antioxidant status of rats’ blood and liver affected by sodium selenite and selenium nanoparticles
(PeerJ, 2018-05-28)
Background: Selenium is an essential element; however, at higher doses, it can be toxic. Therefore, alternative nanotechnological solutions are required to overcome toxicological issues, rather than conventional alternatives. ...
The Zinc-Schiff Base-Novicidin Complex as a Potential Prostate Cancer Therapy
(PLOS, 2016-10-11)
Prostate cancer cells control energy metabolism by chelating intracellular zinc. Thus, zinc
delivery has been a popular therapeutic approach for prostate cancer. Here, we propose
the use of the membrane-penetrating peptide ...
Induction of Laccase, Lignin Peroxidase and Manganese Peroxidase Activities in White-Rot Fungi Using Copper Complexes
(MDPI, 2016-11-01)
Ligninolytic enzymes, such as laccase, lignin peroxidase and manganese peroxidase, are biotechnologically-important enzymes. The ability of five white-rot fungal strains Daedaleopsis confragosa, Fomes fomentarius, Trametes ...
Platinum nanoparticles induce damage to DNA and inhibit DNA replication
(PLOS, 2017-07-12)
Sparsely tested group of platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) may have a comparable effect as complex platinum compounds. The aim of this study was to observe the effect of PtNPs in in vitro amplification of DNA fragment of phage ...
Behaviour of zinc complexes and zinc sulphide nanoparticles revealed by using screen printed electrodes and spectrometry
(MDPI AQ, 2013-10-25)
In this study, we focused on microfluidic electrochemical analysis of zinc complexes (Zn(phen)(his)Cl-2, Zn(his)Cl-2) and ZnS quantum dots (QDs) using printed electrodes. This method was chosen due to the simple (easy to ...
