Abstract:EDTA‐capped iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4/edta NPs) were synthesized by simple wet chemical method and encapsulated with amphiphilic triblock copolymer Pluronic®F127 (Fe3O4/edta/P). The resulting ‘core‐corona’ system becomes capable of condensing plasmid DNA (pDNA) and act as vehicle for cell transformation. As a proof‐of‐concept, E.coli_DH5α bacterial strain was selected. The plasmids like pBSKS and pUC18 having antibiotic resistance marker gene were eluted from the bacterial strain, purified and loaded on … Show more
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.
