A new technique has been developed that combines evanescent-field optical sensing with electrochem. control of surface adsorption processes. This new technique, termed "electrochem. optical wave-guide lightmode spectroscopy" (EC-OWLS), proved efficient i ...
The Bases of Chemical Thermodynamics: Volume 2 In this volume (volume 2), the tools necessary to study and understand systems in which chemical reactions can take place are developed. The variables of reaction are the keys to this understanding. Criteria f ...
The Bases of Chemical Thermodynamics: Volume 1 In this volume (volume 1), the fundamental aspects of thermodynamics are presented. The first and second laws of thermodynamics are illustrated. The need to define thermodynamic temperature and the nature of e ...
The issue of protein dynamics and its implications in the biological function of proteins are arousing greater and greater interest in different fields of molecular biology. In cryo-electron tomography experiments one may take several snapshots of a given ...
A method using O-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferases (AGT) is disclosed for transferring a label from a substrate to a fusion protein comprising the AGT. This allows the detection and/or manipulating of the fusion protein, both in vitro and in vivo, by a ...
Scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) makes it routinely possible to overcome the fundamental diffraction limit of standard (far-field) microscopy. Recently, aperture-based infrared SNOM performed in the spectroscopic mode,using the Vanderbilt Univ ...
We have further developed our recently reported two-laser technique for highly selective molecular isotope separation of carbon-13 [Boyarkin, Kowalczyk, and Rizzo, J. Chem. Phys. 118, 93 (2003)] with the objective of increasing the yield. An essential feat ...
A method for labeling acyl carrier protein (ACP) fusion proteins with a wide variety of different labels is disclosed. The method relies on the transfer of a label from a coenzyme A type substrate to an ACP fusion protein using a holo-acyl carrier protein ...
This work is devoted to the study of the analyticity properties of thermodynamic potentials (free energy, pressure) for classical lattice systems at low temperature. The central topic of our analysis, in this framework, is to show rigorously the absence of ...
The Hohenberg-Kohn theorem states that the ground state electron density completely determines the external potential acting on an electron system. Inspired by this fundamental theorem, we developed a novel approach to map directly the electron potential i ...
