    Abstract Semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots (QDs) have gained significant attention in biomedical research as versatile probes for imaging, sensing, and therapies. However, the interactions between proteins and QDs, which are crucial for their use in biological applications, are not yet fully understood. Asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) is a promising method for analyzing the interactions of proteins with QDs. This technique uses a combination of hydrodynamic and centrifugal forces to separate and fractionate particles based on their size and shape. By coupling AF4 with other techniques, such as fluorescence spectroscopy and multi-angle light scattering, it is possible to determine the binding affinity and stoichiometry of protein-QD interactions. Herein, this approach has been utilized to determine the interaction between fetal bovine serum (FBS) and silicon quantum dots (SiQDs). Unlike metal-containing conventional QDs, SiQDs are highly biocompatible and photostable in nature, making them attractive for a wide range of biomedical applications. In this study, AF4 has provided crucial information on the size and shape of the FBS/SiQD complexes, their elution profile, and their interaction with serum components in real time. The differential scanning microcalorimetric technique has also been employed to monitor the thermodynamic behavior of proteins in the presence of SiQDs. We have investigated their binding mechanisms by incubating them at temperatures below and above the protein denaturation. This study yields various significant characteristics such as their hydrodynamic radius, size distribution, and conformational behavior. The compositions of SiQD and FBS influence the size distribution of their bioconjugates; the size increases by intensifying the concentration of FBS, with their hydrodynamic radii ranging between 150 and 300 nm. The results signify that in the alliance of SiQDs to the system, there is an augmentation of the denaturation point of the proteins and hence their thermal stability, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the interactions between FBS and QDs.

    Abstract: The enthalpy and entropy of micellization in water, ΔHₘᵢc and ΔSₘᵢc, respectively, of three linear amphiphilic BAB block copolymers consisting of either poly(methyl acrylate) (Mₙ ∼ 1200 and 700 Da) or poly(ethyl acrylate) (Mₙ ∼ 800 Da) as hydrophobic (B) ...

    Abstract The enthalpy and entropy of micellization in water, ΔHₘᵢc and ΔSₘᵢc, respectively, of three linear amphiphilic BAB block copolymers consisting of either poly(methyl acrylate) (Mₙ ∼ 1200 and 700 Da) or poly(ethyl acrylate) (Mₙ ∼ 800 Da) as hydrophobic (B) segments and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as the hydrophilic (A, Mₙ ∼ 3000 Da) segment were determined by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). The ΔHₘᵢc and ΔSₘᵢc of the cyclic AB block copolymers obtained by cyclization of the linear triblock copolymers were determined under the same conditions. The ΔHₘᵢc value of the cyclic copolymers was smaller than that of their linear precursors. The ΔSₘᵢc value showed the same trend, but the relative difference between the cyclized and linear copolymers was less pronounced. The hydrodynamic diameter (Dₕ), critical micelle concentration (CMC), molecular weight (Mw₋ₘᵢc), and second virial coefficient (A₂) of the micelles were determined. The Dₕ value of the cyclic copolymer micelles was smaller than the linear counterpart. On the other hand, the CMC value became larger, whereas the A₂ value was comparable or increased by cyclization. Overall, the results suggest that, in the unimer state, the hydrophobic segments of the cyclized copolymers form a tightly coiled structure to minimize contact with water, resulting in the smaller ΔHₘᵢc value. Contrary to the linear copolymer micelles, the cyclic copolymer micelles have no “dangling chains”, which may explain the topology-driven slight difference in the ΔSₘᵢc value.
