Mesoporous Silica for Desorption-Ionization Mass Spectrometry
Here we demonstrate the use of mesoporous silica thin films for matrix free laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MS). In spite of the growing acceptance of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry for biomolecular analysis, [...]
High Speed Processing of Large Amount of Bio-Nano Imaging Data for Cancer Research
Bionanotechnologies such as quantum dots (QDs) or molecular beacons have generated huge amount of nanoimaging data to study in vitro and in vivo cell behavior for disease early diagnosis and therapeutic drug target. These images [...]
Studies on the Subcellular Trafficking of PAMAM Dendrimer
Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers are a new class of highly branched spherical polymers and have emerged as a novel synthetic drug and gene carrier. However, the fate of the dendrimer-nucleotide complexes in a biological environment and [...]
Molecular Dynamics of Biomimetic Ionomers Studied by Dielectric Spectroscopy on the Nanometer Length Scale
New biomimetic materials are being developed which show great promise for biotechnological applications. An understanding of the dynamic molecular processes in these materials at the nanoscale level is of particular interest and we show that [...]
Bio-Detection and Chemical Fingerprinting using the Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS) Technology
In this project, we explored the bioaccumulation of a large variety of inorganic trace elements in Bacillus subtilis using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer and compared it to other related and unrelated species. Bacillus [...]
Elastic Properties of Aspergillus nidulans Studied with Atomic Force Microscopy
An atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used as a nanoindentor to measure cell wall mechanical properties of the model fungus Aspergillus nidulans in both hyphal and spore forms. Hyphae and spores were immobilized on polylysine-coated [...]
