Introduction -- Synthesis and characterization of nanoparticles -- Effect of interfacial potential on antimicrobial propensity of ZnONPs -- Effect of surface functionality on antimicrobial propensity of IONPs -- Effect of ZnONP surface defects on cytotoxic and antimicrobial propensities -- Effect of interfacial assembly of antimicrobial peptide on conformational and functional dynamics of the peptide -- Effect of globular protein interfacial assembly on conformational dynamics of the protein.

Sommario/riassunto

This book focuses on important interfacial phenomena, such as interfacial potential and interfacial multi-functionality, responsible for determining the fate of nanoparticles inside the biological milieu. Additionally, this book explores the role of surface defects in photocatalytic nanoparticles in defining the nanoparticle interaction to biological membrane and cytotoxic propensity.The authors describe the interfacial assembly of peptide/protein on conformational/functional dynamics of the peptide/protein, which may be adopted as an approach to moderate the protein misfolding diseases.
