FEBS Open Bio, Volume 15, Issue 4, Page 542-550, April 2025.Co‐crystallization crystallizes a protein with its ligand, resulting in protein–ligand complex crystals. In contrast, soaking introduces a ligand into preformed protein crystals, allowing it to bind. Both methods produce crystals for X‐ray diffraction, which generates diffraction patterns that are analyzed to determine the three‐dimensional structure ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) study of thick lamellar stacks of phospholipid bilayers [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 77, 021905 (2008) (8 pages)., 2007 We report an Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) study on thick multi lamellar stacks of approx. 10 mum thickness (about 1500 stacked membranes) of DMPC (1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phoshatidylcholine) deposited on silicon wafers. These thick stacks could be stabilized for measurements under excess water or solution.

Protein crystallization and structure determination at room temperature in the CrystalChip
FEBS Open Bio, Volume 15, Issue 4, Page 532-541, April 2025.This protocol describes the implementation of a simple and user‐friendly microfluidic device called CrystalChip that allows the production of crystals by the counter‐diffusion method and their in situ analysis by serial crystallography. As an illustration, it is applied to determine the 3D structure of three proteins from data collected at room ...

Microscale adhesion patterns for the precise localization of amoeba [PDF]
, 2009 In order to get a better understanding of amoeba-substrate interactions in the processes of cellular adhesion and directional movement, we engineered glass surfaces with defined local adhesion characteristics at a micrometric scale. Amoeba (Dictyostelium dicoideum) is capable to adhere to various surfaces independently of the presence of extracellular ...

Artificial Receptor in Synthetic Cells Performs Transmembrane Activation of Proteolysis
Advanced Biology, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2025.Transmembrane signaling is the hallmark of living cells and is among the highest challenges for the design of synthetic cells. Herein, an artificial receptor based on the chemistry of self‐immolative linkers is used to communicate information across the lipid bilayer, for transmembrane activation of enzymatic activity. Abstract The design of artificial,

Mucus Physically Restricts Influenza A Viral Particle Access to the Epithelium
Advanced Biology, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2025.The infectious potential of respiratory viruses depends on their ability to navigate through a layer of mucus that serves as a protective barrier in the lung. It is demonstrated that influenza A virus penetration through mucus is significantly limited by the gel's internal microstructure and, to a lesser extent, by adhesive binding to mucin glycans ...

Advanced Biology, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2025.The successful in situ polymerization of microtubules in giant polymer‐lipid hybrid vesicles is illustrated. The microtubules formed in the giant hybrid vesicles exhibit different morphologies including lumenal network formation and membrane association. Abstract Creating artificial cells with a dynamic cytoskeleton, akin to those in living cells, is a

Universality in coalescence of polymeric fluid drops [PDF]
, 2019 Coalescence of liquid droplets involves an interplay between capillary forces, viscous forces and inertial forces. Here, we unveil a universal temporal evolution of the neck radius during the coalescence of two polymeric drops. Through high speed imaging we demonstrate that drops of polyacrylamide (PAM), poly-vinyl alcohol (PVA), polyethylene oxide ...

Drug delivery with carbon nanotubes for in vivo cancer treatment [PDF]
Cancer Res. 68 (2008) 6652-6660, 2008 Chemically functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have shown promise in tumor targeted accumulation in mice and exhibit biocompatibility, excretion and little toxicity. Here, we demonstrate in-vivo SWNT drug delivery for tumor suppression in mice.
