Serum Albumin - chemistry

Circular Dichroism

Serum Albumin - metabolism

Amyloid-fibril formation in human serum albumin (HSA) led to hydrogel formation in the presence of clusters of bismuth ferrite (BiFeO(3) or BFO) nanoparticles (NPs). Factors responsible for hydrogel formation were size and phase of NPs.
