A novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based probe to capture heavy metal ion (Zn2+) by bovine serum albumin (BSA) using Si-nanowire (SiNW) arrays with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was developed. layer AgNPs deposited on the SiNW surface RF magnetron sputtering for enhancement of SERS signals. Using a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), observation reveals that A...

Introduction: Nisin is a bacteriocin produced by Streptococcus and Lactococcus species has antimicrobial activity against other bacteria. omits the need to use chemical preservatives in food due its biological preserving properties. Methods: In present vitro study, we investigated nisin interaction with bovine serum albumin (BSA) using fluorescence spectroscopy surface plasmon resonance (SPR) a...

Paper chromatography is an analytical technique for separating and identifying mixtures of materials. It is a useful technique since it is relatively quick, and requires small quantities of the material. By emergence of nanotechnology, paper chromatography has found many applications in biology and biotechnology. In this study, we employed gold and silver nanoparticles to detect protein bands a...

Aflatoxins are a group of fungal toxic metabolites, which are contaminated certain food commodities. ELISA is one of the sensitive methods for detection of aflatoxins. Preparation and stabilizing of a proper conjugated tracer for detection of aflatoxins is probably the main step for designing an ELISA method. In current study, different stabilizers were applied to stabilize a newly prepared con...

Background and Aims: Some nanoparticles can be used in immunoassays to increase sensitivity. This study aimed to evaluate a novel nano-immunoassay based on bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSA NPs). Materials and methods: At first, the nanostructure was synthesized, and then applied as a tag in the nano-immunoassay. Then the concentration of β-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin ...

Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) has been presupposed to be a versatile protein polymer for targeted drug delivery. BSA nanoparticles can lead passive targeting of drugs the inflamed joint via Enhanced Permeability and Retention (EPR) effect due their specific affinity towards because inadequacy in affected region. Hence, aim study was develop loading curcumin (BSA_CUR_NPs) by nanoparticle albuminbou...

The controlled release of Salicylic Acid (SA) influences the concentration and collateral effects drug. This refers to matrix in which SA is incorporated. Among matrices, Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) stand out, for transporting drugs specific sites. functionalization by bovine serum albumin (BSA) can improve colloidal chemical stability, addition increasing interactions with drugs. Thus, understan...

Herein, chitosan (CS) fibers coated with TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (CS/TOCN fibers) were successfully prepared using a wet spinning technique; CS was dissolved in acetic acid to obtain doping solution. The tensile strength and ammonia adsorption percentages increased increasing TOCN concentration. maximum percentage (41.39%, 8.3 mg/g) obtained when 2% NaOH 0.01% used as the coagulatio...

This paper describes an unexpectedly broad ligand specificity of a scavenger receptor of sinusoidal liver cells that is responsible for endocytic uptake of formaldehyde-treated bovine serum albumin (f-Alb). Binding of 125I-f-Alb to the isolated cells was effectively inhibited by bovine serum albumin (BSA) modified with aliphatic aldehydes such as glycolaldehye, DL-glyceraldehyde, and propionald...
