Emerging Techniques in Proteomics for Probing Nano–Bio Interactions

advances in proteomics analytical techniques

proteins are fundamental components of cells which mediate many essential biological processes. proteomics is a rapidly growing field for the study of proteome, the protein complement expressed by the genome of an organism or cell type. the large-scale analysis of proteins leads to a more comprehensive view of molecular and cellular pathways that improves the overall understanding of the comple...

Emerging Optical CDMA Techniques and Applications

In this paper we present an in-depth review on the trends and the directions taken by the researchers worldwide in Optical Code Division Multiple Access (OCDMA) systems. We highlight those trends and features that are believed to be essential to the successful introduction of various OCDMA techniques in communication systems and data networks in near future. In particular we begin by giving a c...

Biomolecular engineering for nanobio/bionanotechnology

Biomolecular engineering can be used to purposefully manipulate biomolecules, such as peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids, within the framework of the relations among their structures, functions and properties, as well as their applicability to such areas as developing novel biomaterials, biosensing, bioimaging, and clinical diagnostics and therapeutics. Nanotechnology can also be used...

Comparison of mass spectrometry and other techniques for probing interactions between metal complexes and DNA.

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) was used to study the binding interactions of two series of ruthenium complexes, [Ru(phen) 2L] (2+) and [RuL' 2(dpqC)] (2+), to a double stranded DNA hexadecamer, and derive orders of relative binding affinity. These were shown to be in good agreement with orders of relative binding affinity derived from absorption and circular dichroism (CD) s...
