Understanding protein–inorganic surface interactions is central to the rational design of new
tools in biomaterial sciences, nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine. Although a significant …

This review provides a broad look on the recent investigations on the synthesis,
characterization and physico-chemical properties of noble metal nanoparticles, mainly gold …

Ultrasmall peptide-protected gold nanoclusters are a promising class of bioresponsive
material exhibiting pH-sensitive photoluminescence. We present a theoretical insight into …

Injection of nanoparticles (NP) into the bloodstream leads to the formation of a so-called
“nano–bio” interface where dynamic interactions between nanoparticle surfaces and blood …

Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of nosocomial implant-associated infections,
causing significant morbidity and mortality, underscoring the need for rapid, non-invasive …

We present transferable AMBER-compatible force field parameters for thiolate-protected
gold nanoclusters. Five different sized clusters containing both organo-soluble and water …

In photodynamic therapy (PDT), light-sensitive photosensitizers produce reactive oxygen
species (ROS) after irradiation in the presence of oxygen. Atomically-precise thiolate …

The aggregation of peptides into amyloid fibrils has been linked to ageing-related diseases,
such as Alzheimer's and type 2 diabetes. Interfaces, particularly those with large …

Nanoparticles (NPs) are known to exhibit distinct physical and chemical properties
compared with the same materials in bulk form. NPs have been repeatedly reported to …

The rapid development of novel nanoscale materials for applications in biomedicine urges
an improved characterization of the nanobio interfaces. Nanoparticles exhibit unique …
