Anchoring Molecular Rotors by On-Surface Synthesis

open access: yes, 2020
Single molecular rotor is an important component for constructing bot-tom-up molecular mechanical machines and a window for shedding light on complex physical and chemical questions about motions of organic molecules on surfaces. Stability of each component in such a molecular construction site is a crucial prerequisite.

Efficient innate immune killing of cancer cells triggered by cell surface anchoring of multivalent antibody-recruiting polymers.

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, 2019
Rewiring innate immune defence to eradicate cancer is one of the mechanisms of action of several monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) used in the clinic. Binding of mAbs onto a cell surface triggers antibody-mediated effector killing by innate immune cells and ...

Determination of Borrelia Surface Lipoprotein Anchor Topology by Surface Proteolysis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 2011
ABSTRACT We used a surface trypsinolysis assay to probe accessibility of the membrane-proximal N-terminal tether peptides of Borrelia surface lipoproteins OspA and Vsp1. Our findings with both wild-type and mutant proteins are only compatible with the anchoring of these surface lipoproteins in the outer ...

Stresses and strains on the surface of anchors [PDF]

open access: yesRevue Française de Géotechnique, 1978
Pull-out resistance tests on cylindrical ground anchors with small diameters (5 to 15 cm) show a high bearing capacity not derivable from the overburden pressure.To investigate this fact full scale tests were performed measuring skin friction (τrz = — τzr ) and normal stress (σr ) on the anchor surface (rough) with the help of installed cells ...
