The attachment of these capping/stabilizing agents slows and eventually stops the growth of the particle. [5] The most common capping ligands are trisodium citrate and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), but many others are also used in varying conditions to synthesize particles with particular sizes, shapes, and surface properties.
Cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP), also known as cellacefate and cellulosi acetas phthalas, is a commonly used polymer phthalate in the formulation of pharmaceuticals, such as the enteric coating of tablets or capsules and for controlled release formulations.
A capping agent is used during nanoparticle synthesis to inhibit particle growth and aggregation. The chemical blocks or reduces reactivity at the periphery of the particle—a good capping agent has a high affinity for the new nuclei. [112] Citrate ions or tannic acid function both as a reducing agent and a capping agent.

Dimercaprol is a copper chelating agent that has been approved by the FDA to treat Wilson's disease. [ 8 ] Dimercaprol also shows effectiveness against snakebite by potently antagonizing the activity of Zn 2+ -dependent snake venom metalloproteinases in vitro .
A capping enzyme (CE) is an enzyme that catalyzes the attachment of the 5' cap to messenger RNA molecules that are in the process of being synthesized in the cell nucleus during the first stages of gene expression. The addition of the cap occurs co-transcriptionally, after the growing RNA molecule contains as little as 25 nucleotides.
This relatively simple technique uses a minimum number of chemicals. These including water, a soluble metallic salt, a radical scavenger (often a secondary alcohol), and a surfactant (organic capping agent). High gamma doses on the order of 10 4 gray are required. In this process, reducing radicals will drop metallic ions down to the zero ...
In molecular biology, the five-prime cap (5′ cap) is a specially altered nucleotide on the 5′ end of some primary transcripts such as precursor messenger RNA. This process, known as mRNA capping , is highly regulated and vital in the creation of stable and mature messenger RNA able to undergo translation during protein synthesis .
