Calcium alginate (CaALG) hydrogel beads and two sets of composite beads, formed from a combination calcium alginate/propylene glycol alginate/human serum albumin (CaALG/PGA/HSA) with the quaternary ammonium salt, (3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl)-octadecyldimethylammonium chloride (QA), (CaALG/QA), were prepared. Bovine (BSA) was condensed glutaraldehyde (GLA) to form BSA/GLA hydrogel. The correspond...

Objective(s): Cancer diagnosis in its early stages of progress, can enhance the efficiency of treatment utilizing conventional therapy methods. Non-biocompatibility of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) has made a big challenge against their usage as a contrast agent. Efficient coverage by biomolecules such as albumin can be a solution to overcome this problem. Herein, albumin-coated IONPs were p...

showing the occurrence of glass/rubber transition in bovine serum albumin (a globular protein) atlow moisture levels and the occurrence of maillard crosslinking in gelatin in previous works, the importanceof the state of glass or rubber of bsa on the rate and extent of polymerisation, protein solubility, colour andsds page patterns in the presence and absence of ascorbic acid, diketogulonic aci...

A monoclonal antibody directed against bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been developed and used in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) system for the detection of BSA in virus vaccines. The results correlated well with those obtained with a counter current electrophoresis system which has been employed routinely for this purpose. The ELISA was slightly more sensitive and more readily app...

We proposed a facile, low cost, and green approach to produce stable aqueous graphene dispersions from graphite by sonication in aqueous bovine serum albumin (BSA) solution for biomedical applications. The production of high-quality graphene was confirmed using microscopy images, Raman spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, and XPS. In addition, ab initio calculations revealed molecular interaction...

It has been demonstrated that proteins covalently conjugated to folic acid may be taken up by cells via endocytosis after binding to a folate binding protein (FBP) in the cell membrane. The proteins taken up in this manner remain catalytically active and they may modify physiological processes occurring in the cytosol. Confocal fluorescence microscopy of KB cells incubated with FITC-bovine seru...

Biomimetic synthesis has become a promising green pathway to prepare nanomaterials. In this study, bovine serum albumin (BSA)-conjugated gold nanoclusters/nanoparticles were successfully synthesized in water at room temperature by a protein-directed, solution-phase, green synthetic method. The synthesized BSA-Au nanocomplexes have fluorescence emission (588 nm) of gold nanoclusters and surface ...

This paper describes the conditions of preparation of poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) microparticles with a mean size between 5 and 10 microm, obtained by a double emulsion-solvent evaporation technique, suitable for oral vaccine delivery. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as water-soluble model antigen for encapsulation. Different parameters influencing the microparticle size, the BSA loadi...

The changes in the nonlinear refractive of Bradford reagent caused by its binding to bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated in aqueous solutions. The nonlinear refractive index at the wavelength of 514 nm was measured using Z-scan Technique. The presence of BSA shows an increase of the nonlinear refractive index coefficient over Bradford reagent alone. The nonlinear refractive index the B...
