We propose the Brazilian team deliver a seminar/short course about nanotechnology at the University of Antioquia. We believe that this would impact in the following terms: i) Stimulate future exchange students from Colombia to go to Brazil in future partnership programs; ii) Establish closer collaboration with other Prof. Giordani's collaborators at Antioquia University; and iii) Discuss …
In this project, we intend to use Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films with two main objectives: (i) interaction studies of bioactive compounds in biointerface models, including cell membranes, viral envelopes, alveolar membranes, and supramolecular lipoprotein systems, and (ii) for the immobilization of enzymes, carbonaceous materials, and conductive polymers in ultra-thin nanostruc…
In this project, we intend to use structures organized at the molecular level at interfaces as cell membrane models, and for the immobilization of enzymes for the production of enzymatic optoelectronic devices. For that, we will use Langmuir monolayers and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films. The films will be produced from materials of pharmacological and / or technological interest, in which i…
In this project, we intended to incorporate bioactive materials, synthetic or natural, on nanostructured bioinspired surfaces, including Langmuir monolayers, Langmuir-Blodgett films and layer-by-layer films. Some candidates are those with high pharmacological interest, associated with events that occur in cell membranes, either by simply destroying the cell membrane as for antimicrobial a…

In this project, we intend to study the action of mirsinoic acid, a compound with potential antimicrobial and antitumor activity, with Langmuir films of phospholipids, which will serve as cell membrane models. The phospholipids to be used will be dipalmitoylphosphatidyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl serine (DPPS), which will be co-spread with the bioactive. The i…
In this work we intend to study the interaction of the laccase enzyme in Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of dimyristoylphosphatidic acid/graphene oxide. The lipid will be spread at the air-water interface and the enzyme, as well as graphene oxide dispersions, will be inserted into the supporting aqueous subphase of the lipid monolayer. The adsorption of the enzyme to the monolay…
In this project, we intend to study the action of acetogenins isolated from the plant species Porcelia macrocarpa (Annonaceae) and which showed antiparasitic action, in cell membrane models in the form of Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of lipids, and complemented with studies in liposomes and through molecular simulation. The lipids to be used will be those found in cell membra…
In this work we intend to immobilize the laccase enzyme in Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of carbon nanotubes functionalized with octadecylamine, as well as octadecylamine associated with conductive polymers such as poly(3-hexylthiophene). It is also intended to immobilize these systems using electrografting (electrografting) associated with the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. We …
In this project, we intend to study the interaction of lisycamine, an aporphinoid alkaloid found in plants of the family Annonaceae, which has leishmanicidal and antitumor activities, with cell membrane models. From the thermodynamic, electrical, morphological, rheological and spectroscopic characterization of the models, we aimed to understand at the molecular level the interactions of t…
In this project, we intend to study the action of vancomycin with Langmuir films of phospholipids, which serve as simple models of cell membranes. The phospholipids to be used will be dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl ethanolamine (DPPE), co-mixed with the bioactive. The interaction of vancomycin with the phospholipid monolayers will be evaluated by means…

In this Project, we intend to create a biosensor that detects and quantifies phenol compounds, utilizing Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett films of lipids (octadecylamine, cholesterol) and the conductive polymer Poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) with the enzyme laccase and carbon nanotubes functionalized with octadecylamine (CNT-ODA). This technique could allow us to investigate the phy…
In this project, we intend to study the immobilization of the phenylalanine dehydrogenase enzyme into Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett films of lipids, as well as to investigate the physical-chemical properties of the produced systems and possible applications for phenylalanine detection. Beyond the classical characterization techniques applied for nanostructured films (tensiometry, surface…
