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…
