Deciphering Mechanochemical Influences of Emergent Actomyosin Crosstalk Using QCM-D. [PDF]
Abstract Purpose Cytoskeletal protein ensembles exhibit emergent mechanics where behavior exhibited in teams is not necessarily the sum of the components’ single molecule properties. In addition, filaments may act as force sensors that distribute feedback and influence motor protein behavior.

Viscoelastic Properties of Electrospray‐Deposited Polymer Shells via Quartz Crystal Microbalance With Dissipation (QCM‐D) [PDF]
Multilayer polymer films are extensively used in multiphase separation. Electrospray deposition (ESD) is an important technique for fabricating such films with tunable morphology. Viscoelastic properties of polystyrene (PS) nanoshell coatings produced by

QCM‐D sensitivity to protein adsorption reversibility [PDF]
AbstractUsing a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipative monitoring (QCM‐D) we have determined the adsorption reversibility and viscoelastic properties of ribonuclease A adsorbed to hydrophobic self‐assembled monolayers. Consistent with previous work with proteins unfolding on hydrophobic surfaces, high protein solution concentrations, reduced ...
