Suitable labels are at the core of luminescence and fluorescence imaging and sensing. One
of the most exciting, yet also controversial, advances in label technology is the emerging …

Quantum dots (QDs) have been facilitating the development of sensitive fluorescence
biosensors over the past two decades due to their high quantum yield, narrow and tunable …

Lasker's award-winning drug propofol is widely used in general anesthesia. The
recreational use of propofol is reported to produce a well-rested feeling and euphoric state; …

Density functional calculations for the binding energy of oleic acid-based ligands on Pb-rich
{100} and {111} facets of PbSe nanocrystals determine the surface energies as a function of …

We report the effect of nanoparticle ligand charge on the structure of a covalently, site-
specifically linked protein. Au nanoparticles with positive, negative, and neutral ligands were …

Dopaminergic signaling in the brain is primarily modulated by dopamine transporters
(DATs), which actively translocate extraneuronal dopamine back into dopaminergic …

Nanoparticles emerged as promising tool in drug targeting, since, after appropriate
modification, they are able to deliver their payload to specific sites, like tissues, cells, or even …

In the present investigation, we have systematically studied the binding mechanism of model
protein human serum albumin (HSA) with gold/silver alloy nanoparticles (Au/Ag NPs) using …

Conventional organic fluorophores suffer from poor photo stability, narrow absorption
spectra and broad emission spectra. Semiconductor nanocrystals, however, are highly …

Interactions between differently functionalised silver and gold nanoparticles (NPs) as well as
polystyrene nanoparticles with bovine serum albumin (BSA) are studied using circular …
