"Protective Roles of Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes in Ultrasonication-Induced DNA Base Damage". E. J. Petersen, X. Tu, M. Dizdaroglu, M. Zheng, B. C. Nelson. SMALL. In press. DOI: 10.1002/smll.201201217
The overall level of ultrasonication-induced DNA damage is
reduced in the presence of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs),
particularly for DNA lesions formed by one-electron reduction of
intermediate radicals. The protective role of SWCNTs observed in this
work suggests a contrary view to the general idea that carbon nanotubes
have damaging effects on biomolecules.
El nivel global de daño inducido en el ADN por medio de ultrasonido se ve reducido en presencia de nanotubos de carbono de pared sencilla (SWCNTs), particularmente para lesiones de ADN formadas por la reducción de un electrón en radicales intermedios. El papel de protección que desempeñan los SWCNTs en este trabajo sugiere una situación opuesta a la idea generalizada de que los nanotubos de carbono pueden ocasionar efectos dañinos en las biomoléculas.
nice article. Use of nanotechnology is increasing day by day. it used in various industries. Single Walled Nano Tubes are Cylindrical In Shape. Both ends of this tube is capped.made from graphite.
ReplyDeleteSingle Walled Nanotubes called as SWNT. we can twisted, flatten and bend it.
