Nanodiamond Quantum Sensors for Probing Free Radical Biology

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Free radicals play key roles in cellular signaling and disease but remain difficult to measure in living systems. Nanodiamonds (NDs) with nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) centers enable quantum sensing of local magnetic noise via T₁ relaxometry, providing nondestructive radical detection in living cells.

Elucidating the Role of Surface Ligands on the Oxidative Etching of Au Bipyramids During Photothermia Using Liquid Cell Transmission Electron Microscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Gold bipyramids can act as efficient plasmonic nanoheaters, but they often reshape during laser heating. This study shows that oxygen nanobubbles drive oxidative etching and that surface ligands control stability. CTAB‐ and citrate‐coated particles blunt and lose optical performance, whereas polystyrene sulfonate preserves shape and heating by ...

Engineering enzymes for stability

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 1996
There have been many recent developments in elaborating the approaches for stabilizing enzymes by stabilizing the folding state, destabilizing the unfolded state and altering the kinetics of unfolding. However, these represent a series of rules of thumb rather than the reliable principles that would be expected of 'engineering'.

Engineered metalloregulation in enzymes

Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 1992
Protein engineering of metal-dependent enzyme activity is now possible due to the wealth of information available about metalloproteins. The results emerging from these studies provide insight into our understanding of the chemistry of metals in macromolecular environments as well as the biology of metal-protein interactions.
