Protein nanocages are self-organized complexes of oligomers whose three-dimensional architecture can been determined in detail. These structures possess nanoscale inner cavities into which a variety of molecules, including therapeutic or diagnostic agents, can be encapsulated. These properties yield these particles suitable for a new class of drug delivery carrier, or as a bioimaging reagent th...

A polyoxometalate-based lanthanide-organic framework was achieved using the {[Ho(4)(dpdo)(8)(H(2)O)(16)BW(12)O(40)] (H(2)O)(2)}(7+) nanocage as a secondary building block for the heterogeneous catalysis of phosphodiester cleavage in an aqueous solution.

Physiol.: Cell Physiol. l(1): C59-C66, 1977. -The contraction of guinea-pig taenia coli due to high K+ could not be reversed by washing when Na+ was absent from the medium. Reintroduction of Na+ (7 mM or more) caused relaxation. Similar results were obtained with rat uterus. The effect of...

adsorption of cyanogen molecule on the surface of pristine and sc-doped b12n12 nanocage is scrutinized using at dft calculations to investigating its potential as chemical nanosensors. the results show that cyanogen is weakly adsorbed on the pristine b12n12 and consequently its electrical properties are changed insignificantly. in order to improve the properties of the nanocage sensor, sc dopin...

Wnt signaling affects cell-fate specification processes throughout embryonic development. Here we take advantage of the well-studied gene regulatory networks (GRNs) that control pregastrular sea urchin embryogenesis to reveal the gene regulatory functions of the entire Wnt-signaling system. Five wnt genes, three frizzled genes, two secreted frizzled-related protein 1 genes, and two Dickkopf gen...

the interaction of a nitrosyl hydride (hno) molecule with b12n12 nanocage was explored by means of density functional calculations. it was found that hno prefers to be adsorbing on a boron atom of the cage with adsorption energy of -0.65 ev. this adsorption process significantly shifts the homo-lumo gap (eg) of the cage to lower energies, thereby reducing eg of the cage from 6.84 to 2.45 ev. ti...
