EN - Investigating the effect of nanosecond electrical pulses on biomolecule interactions
Nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEFs) have emerged as a powerful tool in biotechnology and medicine due to their ability to modulate cellular processes with precision. This potential topic for the PhD studies provides a concise overview of the effects of nsPEFs on biomolecules. Firstly, the fundamental interaction mechanisms between biomolecules after nsPEF treatment will be discussed, elucidating the principles underlying their impact. Subsequently, the diverse effects of nsPEFs on various biomolecules, including nucleic acids, proteins, and membranes, are highlighted. These effects encompass structural alterations, conformational changes, and functional modifications, influencing crucial biological processes such as DNA damage, protein folding, and membrane permeabilization. Moreover, the potential applications of nsPEFs in biomedicine, such as cancer therapy, gene delivery, and microbial inactivation, will be explored. Overall, this topic underscores the significance of nsPEFs as a versatile tool for manipulating biomolecules and shaping future advancements in biotechnology and medicine.
