Absence of clustering of phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate in fluid phosphatidylcholine
Journal of Lipid Research, 2006 Phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] plays a key role in the modulation of actin polymerization and vesicle trafficking. These processes seem to depend on the enrichment of PI(4,5)P2 in plasma membrane domains. Here, we show that PI(4,5)P2

Understanding/unravelling carotenoid excited singlet states. [PDF]
, 2018 Carotenoids are essential light-harvesting pigments in natural photosynthesis. They absorb in the blue–green region of the solar spectrum and transfer the absorbed energy to (bacterio-)chlorophylls, and thus expand the wavelength range of light that is ...

Pulse-shaping-based two-photon FRET microscopy
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 We present quantitative pulse-shaping-based two-photon fluorescence resonance energy transfer microscopy. We tailor the spectral phase of the excitation pulses to achieve selective excitation of donor and acceptor, demonstrating the method in live cells.
