Cu(II) binding to an antimicrobial shrimp peptide – a small step for structural chemistry, a big leap for medicinal applications

Conference trips can bring new collaborations, especially when you are open to discussions and meeting new people (read scientists). At the 2nd French-Polish Chemistry Congress held in 2023, Martin heard Magdalena Rowińska-Żyrek give a talk on the antimicrobial properties of Zn- and Cu-complexes with peptides from shrimp and this meeting […]

Optical Interfacing of Plasmonic Waveguides with Colloidal Quantum Dots

The year started with the publication of an article in J. Phys. Chem. C on propagating plasmons in silver nanowires. This work in yet another in the series of articles on silver nanostructures and plasmons run by our neighbours in the Surface Nanoengineering group and the Maćkowski group in Toruń. In this work, it was […]
