The emerging biomedical applications of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) require facile and efficient strategy to assess its interactions with cell membrane. In this study, an efficient and reproducible microwave assisted method was used to synthesize SeNPs with controllable size distributions.
The physical properties of the emergent structures, such as morphology, structure, and size were studied. The antimicrobial applications of SeNPs were assessed by electrochemical analyses that entailed the systematic acquisition of cyclic voltammetry data. Our results demonstrate a straightforward
method to predict the integrity of bacterial cell membranes following the administration of SeNP treatments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
