Molecular oxygen, O2, has long provided a cornerstone for studies in chemistry, physics,
and biology. Although the triplet ground state, O2 (X3Σg–), has garnered much attention, the …

Near-infrared dyes, particularly cyanine dyes, have shown great potential in biomedical
imaging due to their deep tissue penetration, high resolution, and minimal tissue …

Singlet molecular oxygen, O2 (a1Δg), can influence many processes pertinent to the
function of biological systems, including events that result in cell death. Many of these …

We investigated two critical aspects of rose Bengal (RB) photosensitized protein cross-
linking that may underlie recently developed medical applications. Our studies focused on …

This work examined the hypothesis that interactions of Rose Bengal (RB 2−) with lysozyme
(Lyso) might mediate type 1 photoreactions resulting in protein cross-linking even under …

Purpose.: Suturing amniotic membrane to cornea during surgery is time consuming, and
sutures may further damage the eye. The authors introduce a novel sutureless, light …

Thermally denatured human serum albumin interacts with~ 3.0 nm spherical AgNP
enhancing the fluorescence of Trp-214 at large protein/nanoparticle ratios. However, using …

Biosupramolecular assemblies combining cucurbit [n] urils (CB [n] s) and proteins for the
targeted delivery of drugs have the potential to improve the photoactivity of photosensitizers …

Bovine serum albumin (BSA)-capped gold nanoclusters (BSA-Au NCs) are attractive
photosensitizers for efficient singlet oxygen 1 O 2 generation owing to their high-water …

Proteins are the most abundant biomolecules in living organisms and tissues and are also
present in many natural and processed foods and beverages, as well as in pharmaceuticals …
