Magnetic microreactors for efficient and reliable magnetic nanoparticle surface functionalization.
Microreactors have attracted wide attention in the nano- and biotechnology fields because they offer many advantages over standard liquid phase reactions. We report the development of a magnetic microreactor for reliable, fast and efficient surface functionalization of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs). A comprehensive study of the development process in terms of setup, loadin...
متن کاملBio-mimicking of Proline-Rich Motif Applied to Carbon Nanotube Reveals Unexpected Subtleties Underlying Nanoparticle Functionalization
Here, we report computational studies of the SH3 protein domain interacting with various single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) either bare or functionalized by mimicking the proline-rich motif (PRM) ligand (PPPVPPRR) and compare it to the SH3-PRM complex binding. With prolines or a single arginine attached, the SWCNT gained slightly on specificity when compared with the bare control, whereas w...
متن کاملProtonated nanoparticle surface governing ligand tethering and cellular targeting.
Nanoparticles have shown tremendous potential for effective drug delivery due to their tiny size and cell membrane penetration capabilities. Cellular targeting with nanoparticles is often achieved by surface modifications followed by ligand conjugation. However, the efficiency of the nanoparticles reaching the target cells and getting internalized depends on the stability of targeting ligands a...
متن کاملNanoparticle Interactions with Bacteria: Toxicity and Chemotaxis
Two projects are presented in this report. First, a silver resistant strain of Pseudomonas sp. (closest relatives Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas plecoglossicidaI) was isolated from Town Neck Beach in Sandwich, MA. This strain could grow in 2ppm AgNO3 and at silver nanoparticle concentrations of 2000ppm. The lack of a toxic effect of high silver nanoparticle concentrations and the formation ...
متن کاملProteolytic surface functionalization enhances in vitro magnetic nanoparticle mobility through extracellular matrix.
Steric barriers such as collagen I sharply limit interstitial delivery of macromolecular and nanoparticle (NP) based therapeutic agents. Collagenase-linked superparamagnetic NPs overcame these barriers and moved through in vitro extracellular matrix (ECM) at 90 microm h(-1), a rate similar to invasive cells, under the influence of a magnetic field. NP migration in ECM diminished linearly over 5...
