Local grafting heterogeneities control water intrusion and extrusion in nanopores
Sonia Cambiaso, Fabio Rasera, Antonio Tinti +4
Hydrophobic nanoporous materials can be intruded by water only by exerting an external action, typically increasing pressure. For some materials, water extrudes when the pressure i…
Anionic nanoparticle-lipid membrane interactions: the protonation of anionic ligands at the membrane surface reduces membrane disruption
Sebastian Salassi, Ester Canepa, Riccardo Ferrando +1
Monolayer-protected gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) are promising biomedical tools with applications to diagnosis and therapy, thanks to their biocompatibility and versatility. Here we…
Role of Ligand Conformation on Nanoparticle-Protein Interactions
Federica Simonelli, Giulia Rossi, Luca Monticelli
Engineered biomedical nanoparticles (NP) administered via intravenous routes are prone to associate to serum proteins. The protein corona can mask the NP surface functionalization…
Transferable MARTINI Model of Poly(ethylene Oxide)
Fabian Grunewald, Giulia Rossi, Alex H. de Vries +2
Motivated by the deficiencies of the previous MARTINI models of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), we present a new model featuring a high degree of transferability. The model is parametr…
A Martini coarse-grained model of the calcein fluorescent dye
Sebastian Salassi, Federica Simonelli, Alessio Bartocci +1
Calcein leakage assays are a standard experimental set-up for probing the extent of damage induced by external agents on synthetic lipid vesicles. The fluorescence signal associate…
Local Enhancement of lipid membrane permeability induced by irradiated gold nanoparticles
Andrea Torchi, Federica Simonelli, Riccardo Ferrando +1
Photothermal therapies are based on the optical excitation of plasmonic nanoparticles in the biological environment. The effects of the irradiation on the biological medium depend…
