Abstract We identified 1113 articles (103 reviews, 1010 primary research articles) published
in 2005 that describe experiments performed using commercially available optical …

Nowadays, the bioinspired strategy has become a prevalent guide for the design and
fabrication of various novel materials. Due to their unique steric structures and rich …

Bifunctional hydroxyl/thiol-functionalized fourth-generation polyamidoamine dendrimer (G4-
PAMAM)-encapsulated Au nanoparticle (NP) was synthesized and immobilized on a mixed …

Citrinin is a nephrotoxic mycotoxin which can be synthesized by Monascus mold during the
fermentation process in foods. Monascus, generally described as red mold, is a red …

The immobilisation of biological recognition elements onto a sensor chip surface is a crucial
step for the construction of biosensors. While some of the optical biosensors utilise silicon …

Thiolated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are typically used to anchor on a gold surface
biomolecules serving as recognition elements for biosensor applications. Here, the design …

Critical aggregation concentration (CAC) of surfactants is lowered when polyelectrolytes act
as counterions. At a concentration in between the CACs of the surfactant and the polymer …

Curcumin possesses wide‐ranging anti‐inflammatory and anti‐cancer properties and its
biological activity can be linked to its potent antioxidant capacity. Superparamagnetic …

Immobilization of proteins in a functionally active form and proper orientation is crucial for
effective surface-based analysis of proteins. Here we present a general method for …

This book introduces the reader the chemistry of reaction approaches by which noble metal
nanoparticles are synthesized, including synthetic approaches using the Brust–Schiffrin …
