Opsin vs opsin: new materials for biotechnological applications
The need of new diagnostic methods satisfying, as an early detection, a low invasive procedure and a cost-efficient value, is orienting the technological research toward the use of bio-integrated devices, in particular bio-sensors.

On the two forms of bacteriorhodopsin
In our previous work [(1993) FEBS Lett. 313, 248‐250; (1993) Biochem. Int. 30,461‐469] M‐intermediate formation of wild‐type bacteriorhodopsin was shown to involve two components differing in time constants (τ1 = 60–70 μs and τ2 = 220–250 μs), which were suggested to reflect two independent pathways of M‐intermediate formation.

GRKs and arrestins: Nomenclature and functions in GPCR‐dependent and ‐independent signalling
G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) kinases (GRKs) and arrestins play a critical role in the regulation of GPCR signalling. Historic names of mammalian GRKs were replaced by systematic ones in the 1990s; however, both kinds of names are currently in use for mammalian arrestins.

Biomolecular imaging and electronic damage using X-ray free-electron lasers
Proposals to determine biomolecular structures from diffraction experiments using femtosecond X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) pulses involve a conflict between the incident brightness required to achieve diffraction-limited atomic resolution and the ...
