The results suggest adequate nanoparticle for-mulation and effective enzyme immobilization. Optimal temperatures for free and immobilized peroxidase were 75 and 70 °C, respectively, optimum pH of 5.0 and 9.0 were obtained for free enzyme and 6.5 and 9.0 for immobilized peroxidase, respectively. The Km of 0.075mM and catalytic efficiency of 90.66 Mol/S-1 were achieved by the immobilized peroxidase on guaiacol as substrate. The immobilized peroxidase exhibited enhanced synthetic dyes decolorization ability.","PeriodicalId":336049,"journal":{"name":"The 3rd International Online-Conference on Nanomaterials","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130746606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

AuNCs exhibit sizeand scaffold-dependent photoluminescence, which allows their usage as analytical sensors or as fluorescent probes for biological imaging [1,2]. Typical synthesis involves mixing a metal precursor (HAuCl4) with bovine serum albumin (BSA), adding sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to increase the pH of the reaction mixture (and starting the reduction of Au(III)), and finally exposing the solution to microwave irradiation. In this contribution, different molar ratios of the reactants were used to optimize the fluorescent properties of AuNCs. The change in molar ratios affected the fluorescence intensity and position of fluorescence emission maximum of AuNCs; simultaneously, it altered the period which is necessary for reaching the fluorescence maximum. It was observed that with an increasing concentration of NaOH (in the pH range of 9–13), the fluorescence maximum position manifested itself via a bathochromic shift, and the maximum value of fluorescence intensity decreased and was reached in a shorter period than at lower pHs. Indeed, a lower pH value of the reaction mixture can lead to an efficient increase in the fluorescence quantum yield of AuNCs. This might be caused by several simultaneous factors: (i) conformational changes in BSA are less pronounced at pH 9 than at pH 13, for instance; and (ii) faster reduction of Au(III) proceeds at higher pH values, which may consequently lead to overgrowth of nanoclusters to non-fluorescent particles. Both factors may contribute to the generation of a higher number of Au nanoclusters of smaller sizes possessing excellent fluorescent properties while working at lower pH values. The choice of an appropriate fluorescent standard is tremendously important, but often underestimated by many researchers.","PeriodicalId":336049,"journal":{"name":"The 3rd International Online-Conference on Nanomaterials","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123445851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Increasing the charge reproduces the increase in the degree of doping. The received results allow us to conclude that in the oxidized oligomer of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene containing 12 monomer units, conductivity is provided by the formation of two polarons at the ends of the chain at a high degree of doping. For oligomers with a different number of units in poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene, more complex polaron structures can be realized by charge carriers.","PeriodicalId":336049,"journal":{"name":"The 3rd International Online-Conference on Nanomaterials","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132936557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This makes it possible to obtain unique materials with the possibility of optimization for specific tasks both at the stage of synthesis and when used due to the excitation of plasmon resonance of inorganic architecture by external light. We report the results of the study of physicochemical and structural features of composites depending on trigger factors (i.e., pH), the change of which leads to conformational transformations of macromolecules. Consid-ering a nanocomposite as molecular nanobot, “…autonomic preprogrammed structure of atomic level…”, opens the way to design an adaptive natural nanomachine, the properties of which can be controlled by external influences.","PeriodicalId":336049,"journal":{"name":"The 3rd International Online-Conference on Nanomaterials","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125328093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
