Albumin nanoparticles for glutathione-responsive release of cisplatin: new opportunities for medulloblastoma treatment [PDF]
Redox-responsive nanoparticles were synthesized by desolvation of bovine serum albumin followed by disulfide-bond crosslinking with N, Nʹ-Bis (acryloyl) cystamine. Dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy studies revealed spherical

Synthesis and Application of Albumin Nanoparticles Loaded with Prussian Blue Nanozymes
Prussian blue nanozymes exhibit peroxidase-like catalytic activity and are therefore considered a stable and inexpensive alternative to natural peroxidases in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Kinetics of Desolvation-Mediated Protein–Protein Binding [PDF]
The role of desolvation in protein binding kinetics is investigated using Brownian dynamics simulations in complexes in which the electrostatic interactions are relatively weak. We find that partial desolvation, modeled by a short-range atomic contact potential, is not only a major contributor to the binding free energy but also substantially increases

Solvent effect on the ion adsorption from ionic liquid electrolyte into sub-nanometer carbon pores [PDF]
This paper presents the results from the investigation of the influence of ion size on the capacitance behaviour of TiC-derived carbon (CDC) powders in the ethyl-methylimmidazolium-bis(trifluoromethane-sulfonyl)imide ionic liquid (EMI, TFSI) used as neat

Ultra-trace Cu isotope ratio measurements via multi-collector ICP-mass spectrometry using Ga as internal standard : an approach applicable to micro-samples [PDF]
The capabilities of Cu isotope ratio measurements are often restricted by the small volumes of sample available and/or their low Cu concentration. In this work, an analytical approach was developed for performing Cu isotopic analysis via multi-collector ...

Crystal Structure, Stability and Desolvation of the Solvates of Sorafenib Tosylate
In this study, three solvates of sorafenib tosylate were obtained from methanol, ethanol and n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) after solvate screening and the effect of solvent on the formation of solvate was analyzed. The solvents with high value of polarity/
