Electrostatic Interactions in Biomolecular Systems
Electrostatic interactions are of fundamental importance in determining the structure, dynamics, and function of biomolecules. In particular, they play a key role in protein folding and stability, pH-induced conformational changes, recognition of substrates by receptors, enzymatic catalysis, and in the formation of polysaccharide-based gels. However, due to their magnitude and long-range nature...
متن کاملRegimes of Biomolecular Ultrasmall Nanoparticle Interactions
Ultrasmall nanoparticles (USNPs), usually defined as NPs with core in the size range 1-3 nm, are a class of nanomaterials which show unique physicochemical properties, often different from larger NPs of the same material. Moreover, there are also indications that USNPs might have distinct properties in their biological interactions. For example, recent in vivo experiments suggest that some USNP...
متن کاملGold Nanoparticle-Biological Molecule Interactions
This review gives a brief summary of the field of gold nanoparticle interactions with biological molecules, particularly those with possible catalytic relevance. Gold nanoparticles are well known as catalysts in organic chemistry but much is unknown regarding their potential as catalysts of reactions involving biological molecules such as protein and nucleic acids. Biological molecules may be t...
متن کاملElectrostatic selectivity in protein-nanoparticle interactions.
The binding of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and β-lactoglobulin (BLG) to TTMA (a cationic gold nanoparticle coupled to 3,6,9,12-tetraoxatricosan-1-aminium, 23-mercapto-N,N,N-trimethyl) was studied by high-resolution turbidimetry (to observe a critical pH for binding), dynamic light scattering (to monitor particle growth), and isothermal titration calorimetry (to measure binding energetics), all a...
متن کاملGold nanoparticle-based sensing strategies for biomolecular detection*
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been extensively employed in biological studies for several decades. More recently, progress has well demonstrated that DNA-conjugated AuNPs are highly promising nanoprobes for the sensitive detection of various biomolecules, based on the unique optical and electronic properties of AuNPs. In this short review, we focus on the use of AuNP-based nanoprobes for biol...
