Sensitive detection of uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) activity based on terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-assisted formation of fluorescent copper nanoclusters (CuNCs).

Talanta
As an important base excision repair (BER) enzyme, uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) can repair the uracil-induced DNA lesion and maintain the genomic integrity. Herein, we have proposed a sensitive UDG assay based on the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transfe...

Biosynthesis of copper nanoparticles using Shewanella loihica PV-4 with antibacterial activity: Novel approach and mechanisms investigation.

Journal of hazardous materials
Metallic nanoparticle based disinfection represents a promising approach for microbial pollution control in drinking water and thus, biosynthesis of non precious metal nanoparticles is of considerable interest. Herein, an original and efficient route...

A novel N,N'-bis(acetylacetone)ethylenediimine functionalized silica-core shell magnetic nanosorbent for manetic dispersive solid phase extraction of copper in cereal and water samples.

Food chemistry
Determination of heavy metals at trace levels has a great deal of importance due to their undesirable effects on human life. In this study, N,N'-bis (acetyl acetone) ethylenediimine (FeO@SiO-EDN) was synthesized and applied for dispersive solid phase...

Estimating the Causal Impact of Proximity to Gold and Copper Mines on Respiratory Diseases in Chilean Children: An Application of Targeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation.

International journal of environmental research and public health
In a town located in a desert area of Northern Chile, gold and copper open-pit mining is carried out involving explosive processes. These processes are associated with increased dust exposure, which might affect children's respiratory health. Therefo...

A label-free electrochemical immunosensor based on the novel signal amplification system of AuPdCu ternary nanoparticles functionalized polymer nanospheres.

Biosensors & bioelectronics
A sensitive label-free electrochemical immunosensor was designed using a novel signal amplification system for quantitative detecting hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) supported surfactant-free AuPdCu ...

Optimization of Solvent Terminated Dispersive Liquid-Liquid Microextraction of Copper Ions in Water and Food Samples Using Artificial Neural Networks Coupled Bees Algorithm.

Bulletin of environmental contamination and toxicology
A multivariate method based on solvent terminated dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction was developed for the determination of Cu ions in aqueous samples. In the proposed approach, di-2-ethylhexylphosphoric acid, xylene and acetone were used as ch...

Electrochemical immunosensor for the breast cancer marker CA 15-3 based on the catalytic activity of a CuS/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite towards the electrooxidation of catechol.

Mikrochimica acta
The authors report on an electrochemical immunosensor for the tumor marker carbohydrate antigen 15-3 (CA15-3). It is based on the use of a composite consisting of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and copper sulfide (CuS) that was placed on a screen-print...

The Major Chromophore Arising from Glucose Degradation and Oxidative Stress Occurrence during Lens Proteins Glycation Induced by Glucose.

Molecules (Basel, Switzerland)
Glucose autoxidation has been proposed as a key reaction associated with deleterious effects induced by hyperglycemia in the eye lens. Little is known about chromophores generated during glucose autoxidation. In this study, we analyzed the effect of ...

Photoelectrochemical biosensor for HEN1 RNA methyltransferase detection using peroxidase mimics PtCu NFs and poly(U) polymerase-mediated RNA extension.

Biosensors & bioelectronics
2'-O-methyl group on the 3' terminal nucleotide in plant microRNAs, as one kind of RNA methylations, is caused by HEN1 RNA methyltransferase (HENMT1), which is thought to be crucial for ribosome biogenesis and function. Herein, a simple and label-fre...
