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...
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...

BACKGROUND: Biofilm forming drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa are responsible for major death in burn center of different hospitals across the globe.
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...

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 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 ...

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...
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...
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 ...
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...
