This paper presents a study of the fluorescence quenching of 1-hydroxypyrene-3,6,8-trisulfonic acid (HPTS) in the presence of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) using a fluorescence method. To investigate the quenching mechanism (dynamic or static) of HPTS, Stern-Volmer plots...

?-Conotoxins inhibit nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) and are used as probes to study cholinergic pathways in vertebrates. Model organisms, such as Drosophila melanogaster, express nAChRs in their CNS that are suitable to investigate the neuropharmacology of ?-conotoxin...

A family of Ib-AMP4 peptide analogues was obtained by solid phase synthesis, modifying the net charge and hydrophobicity of C-terminal domain by replacing certain amino acidic residues by arginine and tryptophan. Additionally, disulfide bonds were eliminated by replacing the cyst...
