Biotin Auxotrophy and Biotin Enhanced Germ Tube Formation in Candida albicans
Due to the increased number of immunocompromised patients, infections with the pathogen Candida albicans have significantly increased in recent years. C. albicans transition from yeast to germ tubes is one of the essential factors for virulence.

Assessing models of force-dependent unbinding rates via infrequent metadynamics [PDF]
Protein-ligand interactions are crucial for a wide range of physiological processes. Many cellular functions result in these non-covalent `bonds' being mechanically strained, and this can be integral to proper cellular function. Broadly, two classes of force dependence have been observed -- slip bonds, where unbinding rate increases, and catch bonds ...

Background Biotin is an essential enzyme cofactor that acts as a CO2 carrier in carboxylation and decarboxylation reactions. The E. coli genome encodes a biosynthetic pathway that produces biotin from pimeloyl-CoA in four enzymatic steps. The final step,

Dynamic force spectroscopy on multiple bonds: experiments and model [PDF]
We probe the dynamic strength of multiple biotin-streptavidin adhesion bonds under linear loading using the biomembrane force probe setup for dynamic force spectroscopy. Measured rupture force histograms are compared to results from a master equation model for the stochastic dynamics of bond rupture under load.

Entry of Microparticles into Giant Lipid Vesicles by Optical Tweezers [PDF]
Entry of micro- or nano-sized objects into cells or vesicles made of lipid membranes occur in many processes such as entry of viruses in host cells, microplastics pollution, drug delivery or biomedical imaging. Here, we investigated the microparticle crossing of lipid membranes in giant unilamellar vesicles in the absence of strong binding interactions
