Infrared (IR) spectroscopy provides highly discriminatory information due to the excitation of
inherently specific fundamental vibrational transitions characteristic of molecular species …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are commonly used in numerous consumer products,
including textiles, cosmetics, and health care items. The widespread usage of AgNPs results …

Hypothesis The process of protein corona changes has been widely believed to follow the
Vroman effect, while protein structural change during the process is rarely reported, due to …

We report that flat substrates such as glass coverslips with surface roughness well below 0.5
nm feature notable speckle patterns when observed with high-sensitivity interference …

Introduction Humans are intentionally exposed to gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) where they
are used in variety of biomedical applications as imaging and drug delivery agents as well …

Lipids, together with molecules such as DNA and proteins, are one of the most relevant
systems responsible for the existence of life. Selected lipids are able to assembly into …

Tethering peptides and proteins to abiotic surfaces has the potential to create biomolecule-
functionalized surfaces with useful properties. Commonly used methods of immobilization …

Background: Efficient and controlled internalization of NPs into the cells depends on their
physicochemical properties and dynamics of the plasma membrane. NPs-cell interaction is a …

We report on the recent scientific research contribution of non-linear optics based on Sum-
Frequency Generation (SFG) spectroscopy as a surface probe of the plasmonic properties of …

The interfacial behavior of the benchmark zwitterionic phospholipid molecule
dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) has been extensively investigated by surface …
