Particulas de erizo omnidispersibles con recubrimientos multicapa para el biosensado multiplexado
Journal of the American Chemical Society
|May 15, 2018
Resumen
Las partículas de erizo (HP) con picos a nanoescala mantienen la estabilidad en diversos medios, incluso cuando se modifican. Estas partículas omnidispersibles permiten una dispersión Raman mejorada por superficie (SERS) para el análisis multiplejado en entornos difíciles.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Ciencias de las superficies y coloides
- Nanotecnología
- Espectroscopia
Sus antecedentes:
- Las partículas de erizo (HP) exhiben una notable estabilidad de dispersión debido a su geometría puntiaguda, reduciendo las fuerzas de van der Waals.
- El potencial de modificación de la superficie de las HP para conservar esta omnidispersibilidad y obtener nuevas funcionalidades sigue sin explorarse.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar si los HP modificados por polímeros y nanopartículas (NP) conservan su omnidispersibilidad.
- Explorar la utilidad de los HP modificados como portadores estables para aplicaciones avanzadas como la dispersión Raman mejorada por superficie (SERS).
Principales métodos:
- El ensamblaje de capa por capa (LBL / LbL) se utilizó para crear recubrimientos conformes densos de polímeros y NP de oro en HP.
- La estabilidad de dispersión se evaluó en entornos de extrema polaridad y fuerza iónica.
- Se evaluó el rendimiento SERS de los HP modificados y se comparó con los coloides lisos.
Principales resultados:
- Los HP modificados con recubrimientos LBL mantuvieron una excelente estabilidad de dispersión en varios medios.
- Los HP modificados en superficie demostraron capacidades SERS robustas, superando la inestabilidad de las sondas SERS convencionales.
- Las sondas SERS basadas en HP mostraron un aumento de más de diez veces en la intensidad de la señal y permitieron la detección multiplexa en medios de alta resistencia iónica.
Conclusiones:
- La modificación de la superficie de las HP mediante el ensamblaje LBL preserva su omnidispersibilidad.
- Las HP omnidispersibles y ópticamente activas ofrecen una plataforma estable para la detección de SERS multiplexadas en entornos biológicos y químicos complejos.
- Estos hallazgos allanan el camino para herramientas avanzadas de diagnóstico y análisis que utilizan nanoportadores estables.

Hedgehog Signaling Pathway
10.1K
The Hedgehog gene (Hh) was first discovered due to its control of the growth of disorganized, hair-like bristles phenotype in Drosophila, much like hedgehog spines. Hh plays a crucial role in the development of organs and the maintenance of homeostasis in both invertebrates and vertebrates. However, while Drosophila has only one Hh protein, mammals have multiple functional Hedgehog proteins - Sonic (Shh), Desert (Dhh), and Indian Hedgehog (Ihh). All of these homologous proteins have adapted to...

Subatomic Particles

Dalton was only partially correct about the particles that make up matter. All matter is composed of atoms, and atoms are composed of three smaller subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. These three particles account for the mass and the charge of an atom.

The Nucleosome Core Particle
14.6K
Nucleosomes are the DNA-histone complex, where the DNA strand is wound around the histone core. The histone core is an octamer containing two copies of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 histone proteins.
The paradox
Nucleosomes, paradoxically, perform two opposite functions simultaneously. On the one hand, their main responsibility is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. While on the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access DNA...

Pinching-off of Coated Vesicles
4.2K
Vesicle budding is orchestrated by distinct cytosolic proteins such as adaptor proteins, coat proteins, and GTPases. To initiate vesicle budding, membrane-bending proteins containing crescent-shaped BAR domains bind to the lipid heads in the bilayer and distort the membrane to form a protein-coated vesicle bud. Adaptors proteins such as AP2 for clathrin-coated vesicles can nucleate on the deformed membrane. Finally, coat proteins such as clathrin or COPI and COPII assemble into a coat forming...

Clathrin Coated Vesicles
9.4K
Clathrin-coated vesicles use endocytosis to transport receptors and lysosomal hydrolases from the Golgi to the lysosome in the late secretory pathway. Clathrin-mediated endocytosis was the first described endocytic process, and Clathrin-coated vesicles remain one of the most well-studied transport vesicles. The molecular machinery that generates clathrin-coated vesicles comprises over 50 proteins that precisely coordinate vesicle formation. Cell surface receptors concentrated in indented sites...
