Fresh raw Buffalo milk was frozen (-20℃) overnight. During freezing, much of the lipid content in the milk travels to the top of the milk and forms a bulge. The bulged-out portion is then scraped off the frozen milk and the milk could defrost. Further, to separate the remaining lipid content, the defrosted milk was subjected to refrigerated centrifugation at 10,000 rpm for 30 minutes at 4℃. The whey protein isolate (WPI) was prepared by separating out the major
The protein‐nanoparticles conjugate has been developed as a targeted drug delivery system which selectively and preferentially delivers the therapeutic agents. Here, the alpha‐lactalbumin (ALA) was purified by size exclusion chromatography and confirmed by gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry (MS). Functionalization of gold nanoparticles (AuNP, ∼29 nm) with ALA was optimized by light scattering and zeta potential measurements. The nanoconjugates (AuNP‐ALA) and ALA showed strong binding and affinity with curcumin and gemcitabine studied using biophysical analysis. The presence of native form of curcumin with ALA was investigated by MS. 8‐anilino‐1‐naphthalenesulfonic acid binding assay showed 95 % surface hydrophilicity of ALA. Circular dichroism and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis shows increased alpha‐helicity due to the binding of drugs, revealed large increase in non‐covalent interaction. Vesicular membrane interaction with ALA and nanoconjugate exhibited strong interaction at the vesicles surface. The alpha‐lactalbumin‐nanoparticle conjugate in combination with drugs, could be exploited to establish a targeted drug delivery system.
The current study presents a simple, low-cost, and rapid method for producing a-amylase capped silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The electromagnetic irradiation approach significantly reduced reaction time and resulted in the nucleation of silver ions for nanoparticle formation. The electromagnetic energy (300 nm to 650 nm) and electrical potential (7 mV) have been tuned. This study outlines how electromagnetic energy is irradiated to cause chemical processes in the nucleation and development of silver ions. The incident energy wavelength varies from lower to higher wavelength; the Ag ? reduction rate slows and becomes more kinetically and dynamically regulated. The incident photon energy causes silver ions to reduce, resulting in stable colloidal AgNPs. The formation of particles of various sizes, like UV-light (68.2 nm), Blue light (59.7 nm), Green light (94.4 nm), Yellow light (79.2 nm), Orange light (91.3 nm), Red light (74.2 nm), and Electrical energy (98.3 nm). X-ray diffraction assesses the purity and crystalline nature of AgNPs, while transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to analyze the shape and morphology. The approach has been thoroughly documented and confirmed using UV-Visible spectroscopy, DLS, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Particles were deposited on steel electrodes for use in industrial and medicinal applications.
Silver nanoparticles (SNPs) were synthesized using fungal -amylase. Different sizes of stable SNPs were characterized using Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) revealed 30 nm, 45 nm, 60 nm and 75 nm, X-ray diffractometer (XRD) showed face centric cubic and High Resolution Transmission Electron
Microscopy (HR-TEM) represented spherical in shape. UV-Visible spectroscopy displayed absorption at 412 nm due to Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR). Fluorescence and Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) spectroscopy has shown the mechanism of structural interaction between SNPs and α-amylase.
The thermodynamic parameters viz. free energy (ΔG0), enthalpy (ΔH0) and entropy (ΔS0) suggests that the binding process occurs spontaneously by involving hydrogen bond and van der Waals interactions. Cytotoxic studies
on lung cancer cell line (A-549) showed that the synthesized largest size (75 nm) SNPs were more effective than smallest (30 nm).
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.
