Application


  • A real-time fluorescence assay for protease activity and inhibitor screening based on the aggregation-caused quenching of a perylene probe.: Demonstrates the utility of Poly-L-glutamic acid sodium salt in developing sensitive fluorescence assays for enzyme activity, which could streamline the development of new therapeutic inhibitors (Wang Y et al., 2018).

  • Interfacial and structural characteristics of polyelectrolyte multilayers used as cushions for supported lipid bilayers.: Explores the role of Poly-L-glutamic acid sodium salt in stabilizing lipid bilayers, crucial for bio-mimetic systems and drug delivery applications (Wlodek M et al., 2017).

  • The interaction of clozapine loaded nanocapsules with the hCMEC/D3 cells - In vitro model of blood brain barrier.: Highlights the use of Poly-L-glutamic acid sodium salt for drug encapsulation, enhancing the delivery of therapeutic agents across the blood-brain barrier (Łukasiewicz S et al., 2017).

  • A Chimeric LysK-Lysostaphin Fusion Enzyme Lysing Staphylococcus aureus Cells: a Study of Both Kinetics of Inactivation and Specifics of Interaction with Anionic Polymers.: Investigates the synergistic effects of Poly-L-glutamic acid sodium salt in enhancing the antimicrobial properties of bio-engineered enzymes, presenting a novel approach to combat bacterial infections (Filatova LY et al., 2016).

The main objectives of the present study were to investigate the biocompatibility of polyelectrolyte-coated nanocapsules and to evaluate the neuroprotective action of the nanoencapsulated water-insoluble neuroprotective drug-undecylenic acid (UDA), in vitro. Core-shell nanocapsules were synthesized using nanoemulsification and the layer-by-layer
