Metallo-oxide (MO)-based bioinorganic nanocomposites promise unique structures,
physicochemical properties, and novel biochemical functionalities, and within the past …

There is considerable interest in the development of hybrid organic–inorganic materials
because of the potential for harvesting the unique capabilities that each system has to offer …

We present combined experimental and modelling evidence that β-lactoglobulin proteins
employed as stabilizers of oil/water emulsions undergo minor but significant conformational …

As a key player in blood coagulation and tissue repair, fibrinogen has gained increasing
attention to develop nanofibrous biomaterial scaffolds for wound healing. Current …

Nanoparticles coated with hydrophilic polymers often show a reduction in unspecific
interactions with the biological environment, which improves their biocompatibility. The …

Surface functionalization of silica nanoparticles (SiO 2 NPs) has been considered as a
promising strategy to develop target-specific nanostructures. However, finding a chemical …

Chitosan-silica materials offer a specific environment for the adsorption of biofunctional
molecules, such as the antimicrobial peptide KR-12. The objective here is to rationalize the …

Abstract “Green” protein purification/immobilization processes based on low-cost, earth-
abundant, and eco-friendly affinity matrices are highly desirable. Unmodified silica matrices …

Actin is a fundamental member of an ancient superfamily of structural intracellular proteins
and plays a crucial role in cytoskeleton dynamics, ciliogenesis, phagocytosis, and force …

Adsorption of enzymes on solid surfaces may lead to conformational changes that reduce
their catalytic conversion activity and are thus detrimental to the efficiency of biotechnology …
