Graphene oxide derivatives with variable alkyl chain length and terminal functional groups as supports for stabilization of cytochrome c

Hybrid Nanomaterials of Magnetic Iron Nanoparticles and Graphene Oxide as Matrices for the Immobilization of β-Glucosidase: Synthesis, Characterization, and Biocatalytic Properties

“…In biocatalysis, the development of novel nanobiocatalytic systems through the immobilization of enzymes on nanoscale materials attracted much scientific interest and their potential for applications in various industrial fields were recognized. The immobilization of enzymes on nano-sized materials leads to desirable nanobiocatalysts due to the higher enzyme loading capacity achieved, the enhanced mass transfer efficiency, and the stabilization that nanomaterials provide (Pavlidis et al, 2012b;Patila et al, 2016b).…”

Enhancement of neural stem cell survival, proliferation and differentiation by IGF-1 delivery in graphene oxide-incorporated PLGA electrospun nanofibrous mats

“…Previous studies have already suggested that GO has a strong ability to adsorb various proteins, including cytochrome c, bovine serum albumin, ribonuclease A, and protein kinase A. 27,28 We speculated that the mechanism of IGF-1 binding to GO is effectively due to the unique properties of GO. First, the pelectron cloud of GO is able to interact with the hydrophobic core of proteins.…”

Synergistic delivery of bFGF and BMP-2 from poly(l-lactic-co-glycolic acid)/graphene oxide/hydroxyapatite nanofibre scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications

“…It was reported that GO has a strong capability to adsorb various proteins, including cytochrome c, bovine serum albumin, ribonuclease A, and various growth factors. 30,38,39 It was demonstrated that introducing GO onto the PLGA/HA nanobre scaffold could increase the binding efficiency of growth factors to the nanobre scaffold.…”
