Green Approach for Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles from Marine Streptomyces- MS 26 and Their Antibiotic Efficacy

Antibiotic resistant pathogens pose an enormous threat to the treatment of various serious infections. To overcome this condition, a periodic replacement of the new and existing antibiotic is necessary. Antibiotics in combination with biosynthesized silver nanoparticles minimize the antibiotic doses to cure the dreaded diseases. In this study, Silver nanoparticles were bio-synthesized by extrac...

Finite Element Simulation of Contact Mechanics of Cancer Cells in Manipulation Based on Atomic Force Microscopy

The theory of contact mechanics deals with stresses and deformations which arise when the surfaces of two solid bodies are brought into contact. In elastic deformation contact occurs over a finite area. A regular method for determining the dimensions of this area is Hertz Contact Model. Appearance of atomic force microscope results in introduction of Contact ...

High-Resolution Imaging of Polyethylene Glycol Coated Dendrimers via Combined Atomic Force and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy

Dendrimers have shown great promise as drug delivery vehicles in recent years because they can be synthesized with designed size and functionalities for optimal transportation, targeting, and biocompatibility. One of the most well-known termini used for biocompatibility is polyethylene glycol (PEG), whose performance is affected by its actual conformation. However, the conformation of individua...

Characterisation of Drug Nanoparticles by Atomic Force Microscopy

Nanoparticles of a bicalutamide nanosuspension were imaged using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) to gain some insight into particle size and aggregation. Particles of bicalutamide in a PVP-stabilised suspension were imaged and the data analyzed. The particles were observed to be uniform in size at down to 160 nm in diameter although some larger aggregates were observed. Sample roughness was analy...
