The Protein Corona on Nanoparticles as viewed from a Nanoparticle Sizing Perspective
A biomolecular adsorption layer (corona) forms on essentially all nanoparticles immersed in biological fluids, and governs their interactions with the biological environment. Key aspects of protein corona formation and its structure and dynamics have yet remained elusive and call for further investigations.
Stabilization and Denaturation of DNA Origami Nanostructures
The stability of DNA origami under strongly denaturing conditions is investigated.
Periodic Silver Nanopore and Nanoparticle Arrays with Controlled Shape and Size
A unique and versatile approach to creating ordered silver nanostructures is presented that allows for feature shape alteration in a simple and inexpensive manner.
