Abstract

The understanding of the interactions between nanomaterials and proteins is of extreme importance in medicine. In a biological fluid, proteins can adsorb and associate with nanoparticles, which can have significant impact on the biological behavior of the proteins and the nanoparticles. We report here on the interactions of iron saturated human transferrin protein with both bare and polyvinyl alcohol coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs). The exposure of human transferrin to SPIONs results in the release of iron, which changes the main function of the protein, which is the transport of iron among cells. After removal of the magnetic nanoparticles, the original protein conformation is not recovered, indicating irreversible changes in transferrin conformation: from a compact to an open structure.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
