Design and synthesis of self-assembling peptides for fabrication of functional nanomaterials
(Bilkent University, 2016-12)Self-assembling peptides are a class of supramolecular polymers, which exploit noncovalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic, electrostatic, charge-transfer complex, π-π, and van der Waals interactions to ... -
Design strategies for chemosensors and their applications in molecular scale logic gates
(Bilkent University, 2013) -
Energy transfer, photosensitization and sensing with novel bodipy compounds and their supramolecular assemblies
(Bilkent University, 2017-06)Fluorescent dyes have been used for decades in many applications due to their versatility, sensitivity and many other useful properties. Since their discovery in 1968, BODIPY dyes have come forward and have been used in ... -
Generation, storage and delivery of singlet oxygen by a multifunctional agent
(Bilkent University, 2017-04)Photodynamic therapy (PDT) relies on thephoto sensitized generation of sin- glet oxygen (by consuming dissolved oxygen) within tumortissues whose oxygen level is already low enough to make this treatment self-limiting. In ... -
Iron oxide/silica core-shell nanoparticles as rechargeable sources of singlet oxygen for synthetic applications
(Bilkent University, 2017-04)In the rapidly developing world ofsynthetic chemistry, there is aconstant need for high-efficient catalyst. Besides this, reusable and easily removable catalysts are highly desired to reduce costs for environmentally ... -
Synthesis and characterization of Bodipy-derived singlet oxygen sensor
(Bilkent University, 2017-01)Singlet oxygen is a biochemically produced reactive species, which can trigger various cellular responses. It is also produced by photosensitization by the intermediacy of photosensitizer therapy of cancer. Real-time imaging ... -
Targeted photosensitizers and controlled singlet oxygen generation for therapeutic applications
(Bilkent University, 2018-12)Photodynamic therapy of cancer plays a pivotal role due to its many superior features and potential. Considering the pathways for improving the practice of PDT of cancer is gradually increasing, enhancing the selectivity ... -
Towards mechanochemical generation of singlet oxygen
(Bilkent University, 2018-12)Singlet oxygen is a short-lived reactive species which is involved a number of biochemical processes and implicated as the primary photo-generated cytotoxic agent in photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer. Precise chemical ... -
Towards therapeutic automata and hypoxia activated singlet oxygen generators
(Bilkent University, 2019-08)Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment modality depends on the efficient generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) through excitation of a particular chromophore (sensitizer) followed by an energy transfer to the dissolved ...
