Based on anisometric noble-metal nanocrystals, a universal fabrication protocol for preparing 3D supercrystals with controlled orientation on a chip has been developed...
Tuberculosis (TB) remains to be a major global health problem, with about 9 million new cases and 1.4 million deaths in 2011. For the control of tuberculosis as well a...
Biomarker discovery for early disease diagnosis is highly important. Of late, much effort has been made to analyze complex biological fluids in an effort to develop ne...
Silaic acid is the most common terminal glycan on cell surface glycoproteins and glycolipids, involving in many biological processes. Studying interactions between mul...
The immobilization strategy of cell-specific aptamers is of great importance for studying the interaction between a cell and its aptamer. However, because of the diffi...
Electrochemical biosensors convert biological events to an electrical current. To date most electrochemical biosensors exploit activities of naturally occurring enzyme...
We propose an ultrasensitive SERS-based peptide biosensor platform to monitor phosphorylation catalyzed by kinase in a dynamic format. The developed SERS strategy has ...
NADP(+), the oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, plays an essential role as a coenzyme in cellular electron transfer reactions. The concentra...
Danusertib is a kinase inhibitor and anti-cancer drug. The evaluation of the interaction between danusertib and dsDNA was investigated in bulk solution and using the d...
The multiple properties of zinc sulphide nanoparticles (ZnS-NPs) are attracting great attention in the field of chemical and biological research. ZnS-NPs also find the...
There is a constant need to identify novel inhibitors to combat β-lactamase-mediated antibiotic resistance. In this study, we identify three penicillinase-binding pept...
"Smart" materials are polymer systems that are able to change their physical or chemical properties in response to external stimuli in their environment. By adding a s...
An ultrathin CoO layer is deposited on the skeleton surfaces of a nanoporous gold (NPG) film by using atomic layer deposition, creating a flexible electrode. Detailed ...
