AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Hypothesis: Citrate capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs-citrate) are the starting material for most of the academic and industrial applications using gold nanoparticles. AuNPs-citrate must usually be functionalized with organic (bio)molecules, through a ligand exchange process, to become suitable for the envisaged application. The evaluation of the efficiency of the ligand-exchange process with a simple and convenient procedure is challenging.
Experiments: Fluoride was used to evaluate the efficiency of a ligand exchange process from AuNPs-citrate with five standard types of ligands. The relationship between the aggregation level of the AuNPs exposed to fluoride and the amount of residual citrate ligands at the surface of the AuNPs was studied. The fluoride-induced aggregation process was characterized with various techniques such as TEM, UV-Vis, ATR-FTIR or MANTA and then used to quickly identify the optimal conditions for the functionalization of AuNPs-citrate with a new ligand, i.e. a PEGylated calixarene-tetradiazonium salt (X-(PEG)).
Findings: It was observed that the fluoride-induced aggregation of AuNPs is proportional to the efficiency of the ligands exchange. We believe that these results could benefit to everyone engineering AuNPs for advanced applications, as the fluoride-aggregation of AuNPs can be used as a general and versatile quality test to verify the coating density of organic (bio)molecules on AuNPs.

A highly selective and sensitive probe was developed for the field test of F(-) in environmental waters. The probe was fabricated by anchoring 4-mercaptopyridine (MPD) on AuNPs via Au-S interaction to form MPD-AuNPs, and further assembling 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) on the surface of MPD-AuNPs. The hydrolysis and cross-link of APTMS resulted in a thin monolayer of Si-O-Si protecting layer to encapsulated MPD-AuNPs.

Multidrug resistance protein 4 (MRP4/ABCC4), transports cyclic nucleoside monophosphates, nucleoside analog drugs, chemotherapeutic agents, and prostaglandins. In this study we characterize ATP hydrolysis by human MRP4 expressed in insect cells. MRP4 hydrolyzes ATP (Km, 0.

We have measured Ca2+ mobilization in a panel of B lineage cell lines after stimulation with anti-Ig to assess whether membrane Ig transduces a functional signal in cells that are representative of immature, mature, or terminally differentiated stages. For these studies, three transfected cell lines which express the same IgM molecule (300-19 microns lambda 36/8, K46-17 microns lambda, and J558L microns lambda 3) as well as two lines expressing an identical IgD molecule (K46 delta m2.6 and J558L delta m8.

Platelet activation (cytosolic [Ca2+] increase, aggregation and ATP secretion) was induced with A1F-4. This agent presumably interacts with a G protein which appears to mediate the coupling of the receptors for Ca mobilizing hormones and phospholipase C. All the A1F-4 evoked responses were inhibited by treatment with forskolin or prostacyclin, agents known to increase cellular cAMP.
