Topology and structure of Au144(SRNH3+)60 from "Atomistic Simulations of Functional Au144(SR)60 Gold Nanoparticles in Aqueous Environment"
2012
Positively charged monolayer-protected gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) structure and topology files for GROMACS used in DOI: 10.1021/jp301094m. The final structure of the simulation reported in DOI: 10.1021/jp301094m for the neutral case is provided. The gold nanoparticle contain a core of 144 Au atoms and 60 functionalized alkanethiol side groups (undecanyl chain, R = C11H22), each possessing a positively charged amonium terminal group. When using this structure do not forget to cite DOI: 10.1021/jp301094m. NOTE1: Different versions for the topology files are provided of both AuNPs. All versions were used for the publication. The changes only affect the core surface and therefore had no influ…
Topology and structure of Au144(SRCOO-)60 from "Atomistic Simulations of Functional Au144(SR)60 Gold Nanoparticles in Aqueous Environment"
2012
Negatively charged monolayer-protected gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) structure and topology files for GROMACS used in DOI: 10.1021/jp301094m. The final structure of the simulation reported in DOI: 10.1021/jp301094m for the neutral case is provided. The gold nanoparticle contain a core of 144 Au atoms and 60 functionalized alkanethiol side groups (undecanyl chain, R = C11H22), each possessing a negatively charged carboxylic terminal group. When using this structure do not forget to cite DOI: 10.1021/jp301094m. NOTE1: Different versions for the topology files are provided of both AuNPs. All versions were used for the publication. The changes only affect the core surface and therefore had no in…
Electron microscopy of gold nanoparticles at atomic resolution
2014
Detailed structure of a gold nanoparticle Adding only a few atoms or changing the capping ligand can dramatically change the structure of individual metal nanoparticles. Azubel et al. used aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy to derive a three-dimensional reconstruction of water-soluble gold nanoparticles. Small-angle x-ray scattering and other techniques have also corroborated this model. They used this to determine the atomic structure, which compared favorably with density functional theory calculations, without assuming any a priori structural knowledge or the use of model fitting.

Formation of Variously Shaped Gold Nanoparticles by Anabaena laxa
2017
Anew aspect of this study is the biocatalysis ability of Anabaena laxa—fresh-water strain—which to date has not been studied with respect to the formation of gold nanoparticles. The results of our study have shown that A. laxa is able to form gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) at good yields within 24 h of incubation at all three tested concentrations (0.1, 0.5 and 1 mM) of hydrogen tetrachloroaurate (III). After 24 h, nanoparticles were mostly localized in the growth medium, which significantly facilitates their isolation. However, the elongation of this process is accompanied by their concentration in the exopolysaccharide (EPS) layer of the cyanobacterial cells. There is a correlation between th…

PROPERTIES AND APPLICATIONS OF POLYAMINOCYCLODEXTRIN DERIVATIVES
Nel presente lavoro sono state prese in esame le potenziali applicazioni delle poliamminociclodestrine. In particolare, diversi derivati poliamminociclodestrinici (amCD) sono stati ottenuti utilizzando un approccio sintetico diretto, tramite reazione di sostituzione nucleofila tra la heptakis-(6-deossi)-(6-bromo)-βCD (BrβCD) e poliammine lineari. Una volta effettuata l’opportuna caratterizzazione NMR, ESI-MS e potenziometrica, sono state investigate diverse possibili utilizzazioni di tali materiali. Anzitutto, sono state valutate le capacità di dare complessi di inclusione host-guest con diversi derivati organici sia delle amCD libere che di materiali costituiti da nanospugne a base di amCD…

Electrochemical sensor based on rGO/Au nanoparticles for monitoring H2O2 released by human macrophages
2021
Abstract Increased oxidative burden contributes to the pathogenesis of most inflammatory diseases and is associated with aging and chronic inflammation. Macrophages contribute to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within inflamed tissues. Currently, ROS generation is measured using fluorescent probes and colorimetric/fluorimetric biochemical assays. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) diffuses through the cell membrane and can be monitored in the extracellular space. Herein, we present a sensor for H2O2 detection released by cells in culture supernatants. H2O2 sensing performance was evaluated using chronoamperometric detection. A sensitivity of 0.0641 μA μM−1 cm−2 with a limit of detecti…
Gold Nanoparticle-Assisted Virus Formation by Means of the Delivery of an Oncolytic Adenovirus Genome
2020
[EN] Oncolytic adenoviruses are a therapeutic alternative to treat cancer based on their ability to replicate selectively in tumor cells. However, their use is limited mainly by the neutralizing antibody (Nab) immune response that prevents repeated dosing. An alternative to facilitate the DNA access to the tumor even in the presence of anti-viral Nabs could be gold nanoparticles able to transfer DNA molecules. However, the ability of these nanoparticles to carry large DNA molecules, such as an oncolytic adenovirus genome, has not been studied. In this work, gold nanoparticles were functionalized with different amounts of polyethylenimine to transfer in a safe and efficient manner a large on…
Enhanced Efficiency of Organic Solar Cells by Thiol-capped Au-Nanoparticles
2015
In this work, we present a study on the effect of thiol-capped AuNPs of various sizesin an organic solar cell.AuNPs have been obtained by laser ablation in liquid solution[2], have been functionalized both with 2-naphthalenethiol and alkanethiol having different length. In addition to bulk heterojunction structures with optimized interpenetrating network of donors and acceptor domains, we have chosen to study planar heterojunctions (PHJs), consisting of three component thin films realized by sequential deposition of P3HT, AuNPs and PCBM from orthogonal solvents.
