Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.In this work, silver nanoparticles encapsulated within quatsome membranes have shown to preserve their plasmonic properties for at least 165 days without aggregation. These hybrid nanostructures enable strong SERS enhancement of pyrene and Prodan by confining the molecules within a few nanometers from the silver surface.

Antimicrobial Cyclic Peptidomimetics
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.Singular macromolecular cationic, amphipathic cyclic peptidomimetics with poly(2‐oxazoline)s‐esque backbone structure that undergo self‐assembly in water to form uniform nanoparticles were developed. The cyclic peptidomimetics, which act on bacterial cell membranes, exhibit hydrophobic‐dependent antimicrobial activity and toxicity.

Ultrastructural observation on sterilization of melittin [PDF]
Science China Life Sciences, 2011 ABSTACT: The effects of melittin on growth and bacteriostasis of four pathogens were extensively investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results indicated that the melittin had a marked bacteriostatic effect on the four pathogenic bacteria. Among these, E.
