Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 4Effects of Surface Functional Groups on the Aggregation Stability of Magnetite Nanoparticles in Biological Media Containing Serum(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2011) Wiogo, Hilda T. R.; Lim, May; Bulmuş, Volga; Amal, RoseSize stability of magnetite nanoparticles (MNP) with different surface functional groups in biological media was achieved by the addition of fetal bovine serum (FBS). The stability of the particles was attributed to the formation of protein coronas around the particles, which provides sufficient steric hindrance to prevent aggregation of the particles. The stability of different modified MNP were also studied in biological media containing bovine serum albumin (BSA) to further understand the stabilization mechanism. BSA was found to stabilize polyethyleneimine (PEI) modified MNP and polymethacrylic acid (PMAA) coated MNP, but not the bare MNP. These results indicate a difference in interactions between serum protein and the MNP that is govern by the type of functional groups on the MNP surface, with positively charged surface groups resulting higher protein adsorption and better stability. © 2011 IEEE.Article Citation - WoS: 125Citation - Scopus: 156Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Activity of Edible Zein Films Incorporated With Lysozyme, Albumin Proteins and Disodium Edta(Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Mecitoğlu Güçbilmez, Çiğdem; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; Arslanoğlu, AlperIn this study, partially purified lysozyme was incorporated into zein films in combination with chickpea albumin extract (CPAE), bovine serum albumin (BSA) and disodium EDTA. The zein films showed an inherent free radical scavenging activity. Incorporation of lysozyme did not contribute to soluble free radical scavenging activity of zein films. However, the incorporation of lysozyme in combination with CPAE increased the soluble and immobilized free radical scavenging activity of zein films 17% to 25% and almost 84%, respectively. The incorporation of CPAE also improved the distribution of partially purified lysozyme preparation in zein films and enabled the controlled release of lysozyme by reducing its release rate from zein films between 1.5- and 3.5-fold, depending on the concentration of incorporated CPAE. In contrast, the BSA incorporation made distribution of lysozyme more heterogeneous and it did not contribute to the free radical scavenging activity of films significantly. The combinational incorporation of partially purified lysozyme with disodium EDTA · 2H2O or CPAE and disodium EDTA · 2H2O gave zein films effective on Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. This study clearly showed the benefits of using functional protein extracts to control lysozyme distribution and release rate and to improve antioxidant activity in zein films.
