Journal ArticleDOI
Dipeptidyl peptidase 3, a novel protease from Leishmania braziliensis.
TL;DR: The aim of this work was to characterize the structure and function of the Leishmania braziliensis DPP3 protein as the first step to elucidate its suitability as a potential drug target.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ion pair method to determine the CTAB content in gold nanorods samples
TL;DR: In this article, a fast and accessible method for quantification of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in solutions of gold nanorods (GNRs) by bromophenol blue (BPB) ion-paring formation and spectrophotometric detection is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthetic Peptides Derived from Ribosomal Proteins of Leishmania spp. in Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis: Diagnostic Usefulness.
Magda Melissa Florez,Concepción J. Puerta,Fanny Guzmán,Martha Ayala,Gladis Montoya,Gabriela Delgado +5 more
TL;DR: The study revealed the limited usefulness of the peptides being studied as a diagnostic tool in the conditions used here, because its low sensitivity, but it is worth highlighting that the use of peptides as antigen in the serodiagnosis of MCL may overcome the cross reaction presented with other antigens, thus avoiding false positives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Capping biological quantum dots with the peptide CLPFFD to increase stability and to reduce effects on cell viability
Ana Riveros,J. Astudillo,Claudio C. Vásquez,Danilo H. Jara,Ariel R. Guerrero,Fanny Guzmán,Igor O. Osorio-Román,Marcelo J. Kogan +7 more
TL;DR: The results show that quantum dots with CLPFFD are stable and that they resulted in a significantly reduced cytotoxicity with respect to that induced by quantum dots not conjugated with the peptide.
Book ChapterDOI
Peptide Synthesis Using Proteases as Catalyst
Sonia Barberis,Sonia Barberis,Mauricio Omar Adaro,Mauricio Omar Adaro,Anabella Lucía Origone,Anabella Lucía Origone,Grisel Bersi,Grisel Bersi,Fanny Guzmán,Andrés Illanes +9 more
TL;DR: Proteolytic enzymes comprise a group of hydrolases (EC 3.4, NC-IUBMB) which share the common feature of acting on peptide bonds and are among the best-studied enzymes in terms of structure–function relationship.
