Activity of catalase adsorbed to carbon nanotubes: effects of carbon nanotube surface properties.
Nanomaterials have been studied widely as the supporting materials for enzyme immobilization. However, the interactions between enzymes and carbon nanotubes (CNT) with different morphologies and surface functionalities may vary, hence influencing activities of the immobilized enzyme. To date how the adsorption mechanisms affect the activities of immobilized enzyme is not well understood. In thi...
متن کاملInvestigation of Solvent Effects on Interaction of Single-Strand DNA with Open-End of Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes Using QM and MM methods
The interaction of biomolecules with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has generated a great deal ofinterest in the past few years. The interaction between B-form single-strand DNA (ssDNA) andsingle-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is a subject of intense current interest; however thereare a relatively small number of papers in the literature dealing with interaction of DNA andSWCNTs. In this work we inv...
متن کاملUltrashort single-walled carbon nanotubes in a lipid bilayer as a new nanopore sensor
An important issue in nanopore sensing is to construct stable and versatile sensors that can discriminate analytes with minute differences. Here we report a means of creating nanopores that comprise ultrashort single-walled carbon nanotubes inserted into a lipid bilayer. We investigate the ion transport and DNA translocation through single-walled carbon nanotube nanopores and find that our resu...

متن کاملRemoval of Anionic Dyes (Direct Blue 106 and Acid Green 25) from Aqueous Solutions Using Oxidized Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Background and purpose:The presence of dyes in wastewaters may cause serious problems for the environment because of their high toxicity to aquatic organisms and unfavorable aesthetical impact. In the present study, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used for removal of anionic dyes Direct Blue 106 (DB106) and Acid Green 25 (AG25), from water samples. Materials and Methods:MWCNTs were ...
