A biocompatible hydrogel as a template for oxidative decomposition reactions: a chemodosimetric analysis and <i>in vitro</i> imaging of hypochlorite
Dipen Biswakarma, Nilanjan Dey, Santanu Bhattacharya
Abstract
The self-assembly properties of new biocompatible, thermoreversible fluorescent hydrogels, composed of amino acid residues have been reported. A unique gel-to-sol transition is triggered by chemodosimetric interaction in the presence of hypochlorite.
