Pulsed Laser Ablation Synthesis Of Silver Nanoparticles With Rapid Ionophore Derivatives For Antivirus Activities

This book explores the transformative potential of silver nanoparticles in combating bacterial infections, with a particular focus on their role in preventing the growth of multispecies biofilms crucial to oral implant development and addressing peri-implantitis. The journey begins with exploring the historical use of silver in medicine, tracing back to the time of Hippocrates and its subsequent relegation due to concerns over side effects. As we delve into the contemporary era, nanotechnology takes center stage. The most cutting-edge technology available today, nanotechnology, has found applications across various domains, including medicine. Silver nanoparticles, in particular, have emerged as a promising tool in the fight against MDR bacteria. The book navigates through the intricate world of silver nanoparticles, examining their synthesis through innovative techniques like laser ablation. Laser Ablation in Liquids (LAL) is explored as a green and eco-friendly synthetic method, allowing for the creation of pure nanoparticles without using additional chemicals.

This book provides both in-depth background and up-to-date information in this area. The chapters are organized by general themes and principles, written by experts who illustrate topics with current findings. Topics covered include: - the role of ions and hydration in protein-nucleic acid interactions - transcription factors and combinatorial specificity - indirect readout of DNA sequence - single-stranded nucleic acid binding proteins - nucleic acid junctions and proteins, - RNA protein recognition - recognition of DNA damage. It will be a key reference for both advanced students and established scientists wishing to broaden their horizons.
