Article Synopsis
- The overuse of antibiotics has led to multidrug resistance, necessitating new treatment approaches for bacterial infections.
- Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and silver nanoparticles show promise as effective antibacterial strategies, although high silver concentrations can harm human cells and lead to nanoparticle aggregation.
- A newly developed self-assembled supermolecular nano-carrier combines photosensitizers and silver, generating reactive oxygen species to enhance antibacterial effects while maintaining biocompatibility and reducing the risks associated with high silver concentrations.
We have developed a simple, low-cost, paper-based probe for the selective colorimetric detection of copper ions (Cu(2+)) in aqueous solutions. The bovine serum albumin (BSA)-modified 13.3-nm Au nanoparticle (BSA-Au NP) probe was designed to detect Cu(2+) ions using lead ions (Pb(2+)) and 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME) as leaching agents in a glycine-NaOH (pH 12.
