Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
For nanoparticles to be used successfully in biomedical application, their interactions with biological fluids need to be investigated, in which they will react with proteins and other macromolecules. In this case, dendrimers might change their biological properties. Thus, the interaction of 2 generations of carbosilane-viologen-phosphorus and 2 types of carbosilane dendrimers with the 3 proteins-alkaline phosphatase from E. coli, human aspartate transaminase and l-lactate dehydrogenase from rabbit muscles, will be discussed. The techniques used included circular dichroism, zeta potential measurement, fluorescence quenching and transmission electron microscopy. The results show that positively charged hybrid and carbosilane dendrimers can interact with negatively charged regulatory proteins, and are able to form complexes. However, the spatial structure and the flexibility of dendrimer are as important as the protein configuration in complex formation.
