Effect of Sago Starch on CuO Nanorods Impregnated in the Soy Protein Matrix: A Green Approach Using the Cytosine Molecule as an Electrochemical Sensor for Pharmaceutics
Abstract:The current study describes a simple
method to fabricate soy protein-based
nano-biocomposites (NBCs) impregnated with sago starch-capped copper
oxide nanorods (CuO NRs), for electrochemical detection of cytosine,
which is useful for de novo drug formulations in pharmaceutics. The
physicochemical properties of the NBCs were studied in detail and
might be useful for biomedical applications. CuO NRs of sizes of 18.1–22.7
nm were synthesized by varying the concentrations of sago starch (0.5–5
μM) and characterized… 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.
