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

Bacteriophages are viruses whose ubiquity in nature and remarkable specificity to their host
bacteria enable an impressive and growing field of tunable biotechnologies in agriculture …

We present a comprehensive first-principles study of the ballistic transport properties of low-
dimensional nanostructures such as linear chains of atoms (Al, C) and carbon nanotubes in …

We have prepared gold nanoparticles covered with N-isobutyryl-l-cysteine and N-isobutyryl-
d-cysteine, respectively. These particles with a mean particle size smaller than 2 nm are …

Using UV− visible extinction spectroscopy and femtosecond pump− probe transient
absorption spectroscopy, we have studied the effect of femtosecond laser heating on gold …

Rapid and sensitive detection of bacterial pathogens is critical for assessing public health,
food and environmental safety. We report the use of modularly designed and site-specifically …

Binding of gold and silver clusters with amino acids (glycine and cysteine) was studied using
density functional theory (DFT). Geometries of neutral, anionic, and cationic amino acids …

To understand which organic molecules are capable of binding to gold nanoparticles and/or
inducing nanoparticle aggregation, we investigate the interaction of gold nanoparticles with …

The adsorption of cysteine on the (111) surface of gold has been studied by means of
periodic supercell density-functional theory calculations. A number of different adsorption …

In recent years, ensuring the rational use and effective control of antibiotics has been a
major focus in the eco-environment, which requires an effective monitoring method …
