Analytical methods for determination of mycotoxins: An update (2009–2014)
Turner, Nicholas W.; Brahmbhatt, Heli; Szabo-Vezse, Monika; Poma, Alessandro; Coker, Raymond; Piletsky, Sergey A. (Article)Mycotoxins are a problematic and toxic group of small organic molecules that are produced as secondary metabolites by several fungal species that colonise crops. They lead to contamination at both the field and postharvest ... -
Generation of novel hybrid aptamer-molecularly imprinted polymeric nanoparticles
Poma, Alessandro; Brahmbhatt, Heli; Pendergraff, H. M; Watts, Jonathan K; Turner, Nicholas W. (Article)A strategy to exploit aptamers as recognition elements of molecularly imprinted polymeric nanoparticles (AptaMIP NPs) is presented, via modification of the chemical structure of the DNA. It is demonstrated that the ... -
Influence of surface-imprinted nanoparticles on trypsin activity
Poma, Alessandro; Karim, Kal; Moczko, Ewa; Takarada, Jessica; de Vargas-Sansalvador, Isabel; Piletska, Elena; Glazova, Natalia; Serkova, Anastasia; Omelianova, Aleksandra; Piletsky, Sergey; Turner, Nicholas W.; Guerreiro, Antonio; de Magalhaes, Cristiana Schmidt (Article)Here, the modulation of enzyme activity is presented by protein‐imprinted nanoparticles produced using a solid‐phase approach. Using trypsin as target, binding of the nanoparticles to the enzyme results in its inhibition ... -
Nucleoside-tailored molecularly imprinted polymeric nanoparticles (MIP NPs)
MIP NPs represent one of the current most suitable alternatives to antibodies for molecular recognition and diagnostic applications. Here we present the synthesis of MIP NPs imprinted for 2′-deoxyadenosine (dA) prepared ...
