Destabilization of Gram-Negative bacteria membranes by CA-M hybrid peptides.
Since many of the relevant aspects of Gram-negative bacteria behavior (including pathogenicity), such as in case of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and Burkholderia Multivorans, can be... -
Characterization of iron oxide-based nanoparticles for theranostics
We propose the characterization of functionalized Fe3O4 iron oxide-gold (Au-Fe3O4) nanoparticles for simultaneous cancer imaging and chemotherapy, as a novel theranostic system.... -
Surfactant mixtures including a newly designed N-oxide
The applications of surfactant formulations based on N,N dimethylalkylamine oxides (AO) are dramatically increasing. The most widely used AO is the N,N-dimethyldodecyl-1-amine... -
A melanin-inspired pro-oxidant system for dopa(mine) polymerization: implicat...
Melanins are the major determinants of pigmentation of skin, hair and eyes in humans. These pigments originate from the tyrosinase-catalyzed oxidation of tyrosine, leading to... -
Structural study on the 3D arrangement of (hexa-acyl) lipid A in lipid membrane
Lipopolysaccharides are amphiphilic macromolecules indispensable for the growth and the survival of Gram-negative bacteria, one of the most diffuse classes of pathogenic... -
Structural and thermodynamic properties of EVOH (ethylene-vinyl alcohol) base...
Poly(vinyl alcohol) is a biocompatible water-soluble polymer of great interest thanks to its large-scale applications for production of drug-delivery systems, sensors or... -
Study of the interaction of various LPSs with Lactoferrin.
Proposal is focused on the study of the interactions of some lypopolysaccharides (LPSs) with Lactoferrin. LPSs compose about 70-80% of the outer membrane of Gram negative... -
E/T scaling and quantum critical fluctuations in Sr3Ru2O7
Nowadays, Fe3O4 iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 MNPs) have attracted attention as highly performing contrast agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging technique (MRI), aiming to... -
Interaction of an antimicrobial peptide from Lactobacillus gasseri supernatan...
A short peptide, composed of 12 amino acids (EFVFVAHAVPVM), presenting a strongly hydrophobic character, was recently isolated from Lactobacillus gasseri supernatant (AMP12)....
