Circular dichroism spectroscopy of Lysozyme-Silver Nanoparticles complex

Ashrafpour S., Tohidi Moghadam T., Ranjbar B., Tarbiat Modares University, IR

The outstanding optical and antibacterial properties of silver nanoparticles have attracted great deal of interest amongst nanobiotechnologists. Designing hybrid systems of nanoparticles and biomolecules as drug nanocarriers of enhanced properties has paved the way for [...]

Lysozyme – alginate nanocomplex: Effect of alginate composition

Fuenzalida J.P., Nareddy P.K., Moreno-Villoslada I., Moerschbacher B., Swamy M.J., Goycoolea F.M.A., Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, DE

In the present work we investigated the electrostatic self-assembly of nanoparticles of Lyz and different alginates (Alg A Mw~4kD and M/G~1.42 or Alg B Mw~7kD and M/G~5.00)to establish a relationship between the alginate structure and [...]

Phase Behavior and Macroscopic Processing of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube – Lysozyme Dispersions

Horn D.W., Davis V.A., Auburn University, US

Lysozyme (LSZ) facilitates the dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) while maintaining its’ antibacterial activity through macroscopic processing. The structural and enzymatic nature of LSZ makes possible the dispersion of SWNT for processing into macroscopic [...]
