Targeting pathogen metabolism without collateral damage to the host
The development of drugs that can inactivate disease-causing cells (e.g. cancer cells or parasites) without causing collateral damage to healthy or to host cells is complicated by the fact that many proteins are very similar between organisms. Nevertheless, due to subtle, quantitative differences between the biochemical reaction networks of target cell and host, a drug can limit the flux of the...
متن کاملPlasmon-enhanced Bragg diffraction
The diffraction from a single periodic metallic grating is shown to be significantly modified when a surfaceplasmon polariton wave is excited at the metal-dielectric interface. In particular, vanishing diffraction orders in accordance with scalar diffraction theory, are generated in the presence of the surface wave. This modification is analytically explained, and a plasmonic Bragg law is formu...
متن کاملSurface plasmon enhanced photochemical etching of p-type GaP: a direct demonstration of wavelength selectivity.
We report here on significant enhancement of the photochemical etching of p-type gallium phosphide (GaP) by Au plasmonic nanostructures. The photochemical etching rate of defect (dislocation) states of Au-coated p-GaP samples is ten times higher than blank samples when irradiated with 532 nm laser. It is confirmed that the enhancement of photochemical etching is wavelength selective. Only 532 n...
متن کاملMicrobial Inactivation by Ultrasound
The Food Technology group of the University of Zaragoza has investigated the effect of ultrasound and its combination with other factors on the microbial inactivation since the early 90’s. Our group designed an equipment that allows to apply ultrasound under pressure treatments at sublethal (Mano-Sonication; MS), and at lethal temperatures (Mano-Thermo-Sonication; MTS) to liquid products. The i...
متن کاملPathogen Inactivation: Prospects and Pitfalls
Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com have proven to be effective against numerous bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Two main systems have emerged to treat platelet concentrates: treatment with psoralen ultraviolet A (UVA) light and treatment with riboflavin (vitamin B2) plus ultraviolet B (UVB) light, both targeting the nucleic acids of pathogens. The ability of the Mirasol PRT system ...
