    • DNA-binding miniproteins based on zinc fingers. Assessment of the interaction using nanopores 

      Rodríguez, Jessica; Learte Aymamí, Soraya; Mosquera Mosquera, Jesús; Celaya, Garbiñe; Rodríguez-Larrea, David; Vázquez, M. Eugenio; Mascareñas, José (The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-04-10)
      [Abstract]: Obtaining artificial proteins that mimic the DNA binding properties of natural transcription factors could open new ways of manipulating gene expression at will. In this context it is particularly interesting ...
    • Introducing Hyaluronic Acid into Supramolecular Polymers and Hydrogels 

      Varela-Aramburu, Silvia; Su, Lu; Mosquera Mosquera, Jesús; Morgese, Giulia; Schoenmakers, Sandra M. C.; Cardinaels, Ruth; Palmans, Anja; Meijer, E. W. (American Chemical Society, 2021-10-18)
      [Abstract] The use of supramolecular polymers to construct functional biomaterials is gaining more attention due to the tunable dynamic behavior and fibrous structures of supramolecular polymers, which resemble those found ...
    • Surfactant Layers on Gold Nanorods 

      Mosquera Mosquera, Jesús; Wang, Da; Bals, Sara; Liz-Marzán, Luis (American Chemical Society, 2023-05-08)
      [Abstract]: Gold nanorods (Au NRs) are an exceptionally promising tool in nanotechnology due to three key factors: (i) their strong interaction with electromagnetic radiation, stemming from their plasmonic nature, (ii) the ...
