Characterization of dynamic processes occurring at the nanoparticle (NP) surface is crucial
for developing new and more efficient NP catalysts and materials. Thus, a vast amount of …

Life requires energy to exist, to reproduce and to survive. Two major hypotheses have been
put forward concerning the source of this energy at the very early stages of life evolution:(i) …

Mutant p53 proteins result from missense mutations in the TP53 gene, the most mutated in
human cancer, and have been described to contribute to cancer initiation and progression …

Plasmon-driven photocatalysis is an emerging and promising application of noble metal
nanoparticles (NPs). An understanding of the fundamental aspects of plasmon interaction …

We have studied the adsorption of xanthine, a nucleobase present in human tissue and
fluids that is involved in important metabolic processes, on citrate-reduced gold colloidal …

Flexible and free-standing polymeric fibers, coupled with metal nanoparticles, present an
excellent opportunity for highly sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) …

In which orientation does adenine adsorb on gold and silver surfaces? This question has
been a matter of debate for over 30 years. Since the dawn of surface‐enhanced Raman …

In this article, we highlight the alterations in the photoinduced electron transfer (ET) and
hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) pathways between an anti-tumor drug vitamin-K3 (MQ) and a …

Selective determination and detection of Pb 2+ in the environment is of importance. Pure
and functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have an interesting ability for selective …

A study is presented on the binding kinetics and mechanism of the adsorption of dsDNA on
citrate-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Methods include fluorescence titration …
