Attività di Ricerca
The main research activities of Antonia Mallardi deal with protein assembling in supramolecular architectures for optical and electronic biosensing and functionality of membrane proteins (electron transfer and cofactor binding) in amorphous matrices and mimetic membrane systems.
Competenze
Embedding techniques of biomolecules, soluble and membrane proteins in lipid bilayers and in layer-by-layer superstructures for biosensor applications.
Assembling of materials in supramolecular architectures; active layer preparation with hierarchical organisation from molecular to mesoscopic level for devices assembling and testing.
Protein biochemistry, focused on membrane proteins (neuronal receptors, photosynthetic proteins).
Chromatographic, electrophoretic, centrifugation tecniques for protein isolation, purification and characterization.
Solubilization of membrane proteins in different membrane mimetic systems and in trehalose-water amorphous matrices. Studies on their functionality .
Incorporation techniques of photosynthetic proteins in phospholipid reverse micelles, liposomes and lecithin organogels.
