Silica-binding peptides (SBPs) are increasingly recognized as versatile tools for various applications spanning biosensing, biocatalysis, and environmental remediation. This review explores the interaction between these peptides and silica surfaces, offering insights into how variables such as surface silanol density, peptide sequence and compositi...
X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) is an underexplored synchrotron-based technique for dynamic in situ nano-bio interface investigations, which overcomes the limitations of conventional techniques in complex biological fluids. This study highlights XPCS as a powerful tool to distinguish phenomena like protein corona and nanoparticle aggre...
In biological systems, nanoparticles interact with biomolecules, which may undergo protein corona formation that can result in noncontrolled aggregation. Therefore, comprehending the behavior and evolution of nanoparticles in the presence of biological fluids is paramount in nanomedicine. However, traditional lab-based colloid methods characterize...
An exploration on surface properties and the colloidal stability of silica nanoparticles functionalized with short sulfobetaine zwitterion.
We develop a molecular thermodynamic theory to study the interaction of some proteins with a charge regulating silica-like surface under a wide range of conditions, including pH, salt concentration and protein concentration. Proteins are modeled using their three dimensional structure from crystallographic data and the average experimental pKa of a...
In the last years, nanoferrites have gained much attention in the fields of bio- and nanomedicine due to their diverse potential applications in magnetic hyperthermia and targeted drug delivery for cancer treatment, as well as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging, among others. These materials are relatively easy to synthesize at low cost...
