Abstract: We report a complete set of strategies for characterization and an accurate determination of gold in metallic nanoparticles. For this, gold nanorods (AuNR) were synthesized by using the surfactant hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as the stabilizer and shape-directing agent. The surfactant CTAB forms a bilayer structure around the nanoparticles and became a challenge for the development of the...

Abstract: The widespread application of nanoparticles (NPs) in recent times has caused concern because of their effects in biological systems. Although NPs can be produced naturally, industrially synthesized NPs affect the metabolism of a given organism because of their high reactivity. The biotransformation of NPs involves different processes, including aggregation/agglomeration, and reactions with biomolecule...

Abstract: This work evaluates different generations of transgenic (cp4-EPSPS gene) and non-transgenic soybean plants through proteomics and metabolomics. For proteomics purpose, 24 differentially abundant protein spots were found through 2-D DIGE, being 4 belonging to transgenic plants. From this total, 19 were successfully identified, storage proteins as predominant class. Some identified proteins are involved...
Agradecimentos: The authors gratefully acknowledge the financial support of Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP), the Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq), and Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos (FINEP); Abstract: Because of strong impact of omics in many fields, and the complexity of the samples when focusing on areas such as genomics, (metallo)proteomic...
Abstract: To evaluate the effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) exposition, transgenic (through gene cp4EPSPS) and non-isogenic non-transgenic soybeans were cultivated in the presence or absence of AgNP or silver nitrate (AgNO3) at 50 mg/kg of silver. Physiological aspects of the plants including mass production and development of roots, proteomics such as protein amount and differential proteins, enzymes and ...
