Azobenzene photoisomerization probes cell membrane nanoviscosity
Arianna Magni, Gaia Bondelli, Giuseppe Maria Paterno +5
The viscosity of cell membranes is a crucial parameter that affects the diffusion of small molecules both across and within the lipidic membrane and that is related to several dise…
Bringing the Interaction of Silver Nanoparticles with Bacteria to Light
Simone Normani, Nicholas Dalla Vedova, Guglielmo Lanzani +2
In the last decades the exploitation of silver nanoparticles in novel antibacterial and detection devices have risen to prominence for their well-known specific interaction with ba…
Bringing Microbiology to Light: Towards all-Optical Electrophysiology in Bacteria
Giuseppe Maria Paternò, Gaia Bondelli, Guglielmo Lanzani
The observation of neuron-like behaviour in bacteria, such as the occurrence of electric spiking and extended bioelectric signalling, points to the role of membrane dynamics in pro…
Calculated optical properties of BTTzR donor molecule and its derivatives
Giuseppe Maria Paternò, Andrea Farina, Francesco Scotognella
In this work, we study the light absorption properties of a novel molecule (BTTzR) and its more extended derivatives, which hold promise as electron-donor material in organic solar…
The Impact of Bacteria Exposure on the Plasmonic Response of Silver Nanostructured Surfaces
Giuseppe M. Paternò, Aaron M. Ross, Silvia M. Pietralunga +8
Silver, especially in the form of nanostructures, is widely employed as an antimicrobial agent in a large range of commercial products. The origin of the biocidal mechanism has bee…
