摘要:
A polymer-protein core-shell nanoparticle is generally provided. In one embodiment, the polymer-protein core-shell nanoparticle includes a pyridinyl group grafted polymer assembled with a protein or a glycoprotein based antigen to form a core-shell particle. A method is also generally provided for treating an infected organism. In one embodiment, the method includes administering the polymer-protein core-shell nanoparticle to the infected organism.
摘要:
The current disclosure provides a transformative concept based on nanopore technology, Sequencing-by-Hydrolysis, to identify the N-terminal amino acid and the length of each peptide fragment in a peptide ladder to reconstitute the sequence of a protein: a protein/peptide analyte will be nonspecifically hydrolyzed to generate random fragments of the analyte that are different by one amino acid with the N-terminal amino acid of each fragment modified so it generates a distinguishable fingerprint signal when tested by nanopore. The length of the fragment can be estimated by characterizing its translocation signal to back calculate the location of the amino acid in the original analyte. This approach will significantly advance the nanopore technology with single amino acid resolution for protein/peptide sequencing.
摘要:
The use of biomaterials, such as viruses and virus-like particles, to form nanostructures is generally disclosed. For instance, rod-like viruses can be used to form composite nanofibers that are fixed together in a head-to-tail assembly by a polymer. Also, 2-dimensional nanostructures formed from crosslinked viruses assembled in a single, film-like layer are generally disclosed. Porous gels having controllable pore size through the use of virus particles are also disclosed.
摘要:
Reactive and modified M13 bacteriophages, and methods of making and using the same, are generally provided. The reactive M13 bacteriophage can include a alkyne functional group covalently attached to the M13 bacteriophage. The modified M13 bacteriophage can include a substituent covalently attached to the M13 bacteriophage via a 1,2,3-triazole linkage. Dual-modified M13 bacteriophages are also generally provided, and can include a cancer-targeting substituent covalently attached to the M13 bacteriophage and a fluorescent group covalently attached to the M13 bacteriophage. The modified M13 bacteriophages can not only be employed as a fluorescent probe for cancer imaging, but also can be used as biomaterials for cell alignment and scaffolding.

摘要:
A dressing for wound healing is provided, wherein the dressing includes a hydrogen sulfide (H2S) donor compound. The dressing facilitates the delivery of H2S to a wound site in a controlled manner, which results in an improved wound healing process by stimulating angiogenesis and anti-inflammatory action. In some embodiments, the wound dressing can include an electrospun nanofiber dressing, a sponge dressing, or a hydrogel dressing.
