Nanoparticles used in cellular applications encounter free serum proteins that adsorb onto
the surface of the nanoparticle, forming a protein corona. This protein layer controls the …

Calcium, as the most widely accepted messenger, plays an important role in plant stress
responses through calcium-dependent signaling pathways. The calmodulin-like family …

The application of functionalized nanocarriers on photothermal therapy for cancer ablation
has wide interest. The success of this application depends on the therapeutic efficiency and …

The nanostructuration of biolayers has become a paradigm for exploiting nanoscopic light-
matter phenomena for biosensing, among other biomedical purposes. In this work, we …

Oxidation of amino acid side chains in protein structure can be induced by UV irradiation
leading to critical changes in molecular structure possibly modifying protein stability and …

Photolytic cleavage of disulfide bonds in proteins by UV light will influence their structure
and functionality. The present study aimed to investigate the efficiency of disulfide cleavage …

Raman, scanning electron, and optical microscopy of hair and spectrophotometry of soluble
hair proteins are used to study the effect of UV-vis radiation on white hair. The samples of a …

The presence of aromatic residues and their close spatial proximity to disulphide bridges
makes hen egg white lysozyme labile to UV excitation. UVB induced photo-oxidation of …

Earlier, it was suggested that carotenoids in light-harvesting complexes 2 (LH2) can
generate singlet oxygen, further oxidizing bacteriochlorophyll to 3-acetyl-chlorophyll. In the …

Circular dichroism (CD) and fluorescence spectroscopy (FS) were used to monitor the pH-
dependent conformational and structural stability changes induced by temperature and UV …
