In biological environments, nanoparticles are enshrouded by a layer of biomolecules,
predominantly proteins, mediating its subsequent interactions with cells. Detecting this …

Commercial production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass is becoming a reality, but the
next step is to diversify the process and produce chemicals and materials. These …

Plasma protein adsorption patterns on colloidal drug carriers acquired after iv administration
depend on their surface characteristics and are regarded as key factors for their in vivo …

Microbiological contaminants (eg, bacteria, protozoa, and viruses) pose one of the greatest
risks in water resources. About 70% of the waterborne microbial illness outbreaks in the …

A majority of biochemical reactions are often catalysed by different types of enzymes.
Adsorption of the enzyme is an imperative phenomenon, which protects it from physical or …

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) degrading enzymes have recently obtained an increasing
interest as a means to decompose plastic waste. Here, we have studied the binding of three …

Wear of articulated surfaces can be a major lifetime-limiting factor in arthroplasty. In the
natural joint, lubrication is effected by the body's natural synovial fluid. Following …

Medical device-associated infections are a multi-billion dollar burden for the worldwide
healthcare systems. The modification of medical devices with non-leaching coatings …

This review covers three aspects of PCR-based microfluidic chip assays: sample
preparation, target amplification, and product detection. We also discuss the challenges …

Introduction: In the area of peptide and protein drug products, interfaces are present as part
of the basic liquid formulation, when freeze-dried formulations are reconstituted and when …
