Polyethylene glycol (PEG) functional chain compounds play a pivotal role in modifying the surface of proteins and materials. These compounds facilitate covalent macromolecular protein research by acting as linking arms while enhancing the functional properties of proteins. Applications of PEG Functional Chain Compounds Protein Surface Modification: Improves protein water solubility....
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a method that combines photosensitive drugs and laser activation to treat cancer. It has the advantages of minimally invasiveness, strong spatiotemporal controllability, small side effects, and low incidence of drug resistance. Traditional PDT uses light to excite a photosensitizer (PS) and transfer energy to oxygen to...
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) combines photosensitive drugs with laser activation to treat cancer effectively. Metal-based photosensitizers like tin, lutetium, palladium, and ruthenium compounds have already entered clinical trials or received approval for PDT applications. However, conventional PDT mechanisms heavily depend on oxygen, limiting their effectiveness in hypoxic cancer environments. Developing innovative...
More than 170 million people worldwide are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV), a single-stranded positive-strand RNA virus. Once the human body is infected, it is very likely to develop diseases such as chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and even liver cancer. Currently, the commonly used methods for detecting HCV infection in...
Small molecule cyanine is a type of strong absorbing ligand with red or near-red light, which can red-shift the absorption intensity of molecules. It has important applications in the fields of synthetic ligands for metal complexes and intermediates for the synthesis of molecular probes. In addition, cyanine...
Human serum albumin (HSA) is a protein in human plasma. HSA concentration in the blood or urinary system is a reliable indicator of various diseases such as kidney disease, hypoalbuminemia, etc.The presence of excess HSA in the urine can lead to microalbuminuria, an early marker of cardiovascular disease and kidney...
