: The reactivity of thioredoxin (Trx1) with the Au(I) drug auranofin (AF) and two therapeutic N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)2-Au(I) complexes (bis [1-methyl-3-acridineimidazolin-2-ylidene]gold(I) tetrafluoroborate (Au3BC) and [1,3-diethyl-4,5-bis(4methoxyphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene]gold(I) (Au4BC)) was investigated. Direct infusion...
Atlantic bonito meat has economic potential as an alternative to mackerel consumption. Thus, considering the presence of myoglobin (Mb) in red fish muscles, we report the characterisation of Atlantic bonito...
Seeing the atomic configuration of single organic nanoparticles at a sub-Å spatial resolution by transmission electron microscopy has been so far prevented by the high sensitivity of soft matter to...
Neurotrophins are a family of growth factors that play a key role in the development and regulation of the functioning of the central nervous system. Their use as drugs is...
Optical metasurfaces combined with chiral liquid crystals enable a new generation of optical components that integrate a light-tunable mirror and a controllable perfect absorber. This combination heralds a new era...
Climate and demographic changes necessitate new paradigms to ensure equitable access to safe drinking water, limiting health, economic, and social damage from poor water management. Nanomaterials present promising opportunities in...
Immunoconjugates exploit the high affinity of monoclonal antibodies for a recognized antigen to selectively deliver a cytotoxic payload, such as drugs or radioactive nuclides, at the site of disease. Despite...
This chapter focuses on two widely used techniques for characterizing oleogels at different spatial length scales: X-ray diffraction (XRD) for the atomic to molecular level and ultra-small angle X-ray scattering...
: Ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) are specific N-β-glycosylases that are well-characterized in plants. Their enzymatic action is to damage ribosomes, thereby blocking protein translation. Recently, several research groups have been...
: SARS-CoV-2 pandemic clearly demonstrated the lack of preparation against novel and emerging viral diseases. This prompted an enormous effort to identify antivirals to curb viral spread and counteract future...
