Environment-friendly nanomaterials with biodegradable, responsive, and biocompatible
properties have attracted considerable interest for exploring safe and efficient pesticides …

During the production and application of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) transgenic crops, large
doses of insecticidal Bt toxic proteins are expressed continuously. The multi-interfacial …

As a low-carbon, environment-friendly and economical resource for nuclear power
generation, radionuclide emission and storage has received worldwide attention …

Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis is a bioinsecticide increasingly used worldwide for
mosquito control. Despite its apparent low level of persistence in the field due to the rapid …

Adsorption is a key process affecting the fate of insecticidal Cry proteins (Bt toxins),
produced by genetically modified Bt crops, in soils. However, the mechanisms of adsorption …

Genetically modified crops, that produce Cry insecticidal crystal proteins (Cry) from Bacillus
thuringiensis (Bt), release these toxins into soils through root exudates and upon …

The confinement of lysozyme in 3 layered materials based on montmorillonite and lamellar
double hydroxides exhibiting different surface charges was studied. The protein structure …

In this work, the adsorption of a small globular protein (betalactoglobulin, BLG), on a natural
montmorillonite clay (Mt) was investigated in acidic buffer (pH= 3). The combination of …

We report on adsorption of lysozyme (LYS), ovalbumin (OVA), or ovotransferrin (OVT) on
particles of a synthetic smectite (synthetic layered aluminosilicate). In our approach we used …

The aim of this chapter is directed towards understanding the interactions between clay
minerals and proteins. Different categories of proteins are reported, and an overview on their …
