“…A reduction in the positive charge on the NP surface as pH increases, as a consequence of the imidazole nitrogen atom deprotonating (Δ ζ H37 = 13.2; Δ ζ H60 = 22.6; Δ ζ H92 = 11.1), can be clearly observed. Consequently the changes in the imidazole ring cause remarkable differences to the NP metal chelating capacities with metal ions occurring in the extracellular matrix such as Zn 2+ and hence can interfere with some metal dependent enzymes such as MMPs, leading to a significance dysfunction in their triggering mechanisms. Consequently the inflammatory responses mediated by the MMP activation could be reduced .…”

“…Initial Zn 2+ amount used in the preparation of the complex was adjusted for each polymeric system in order to have a molar ratio of 6:1 (VI:Zn) in all cases. Afterward, the pHs of the suspensions were adjusted over a pH range of 3–7 with HCl or NaOH (0.1 M), and stirred for 2–3 d in order to attain a metal ion adsorption equilibrium . Then, the suspensions were centrifuged (60 min, 12000 rpm, two cycles) to remove the nanoparticles and the supernatant was shaken uncovered for 2–3 d in order to evaporate the organic solvent.…”

“…This washing procedure was repeated twice and the material was finally lyophilised, resulting in colourless crystals (4.72 g, 20.1 mmol 78%). 1 The degree of substitution could thus be calculated using Eq. 1.…”

“…The addition of a pendant ligand moiety to a polymer backbone is an efficient way of functionalising macromolecular materials providing them with new properties [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] and the imidazole ligand (see Scheme 1) is no exception. The imidazole ligand is of particular interest due to its important role in many biological systems, especially as the side group in histidine which plays an essential role in the active motif of many enzymes [8].…”
