After wounding, the moss Physcomitrella patens emits fatty acid derived volatiles like octenal, octenols and (2E)-nonenal. Flowering plants produce nonenal from C18-fatty acids via lipoxygenase and hydroperoxide lyase reactions, but the moss exploits the C ...
This dissertation reports on the development of devices and concepts for electrical and microfluidic cell manipulation. In the present context, the term cell manipulation stands for both cell handling and cell modification. The combination of microfluidic ...
The present invention relates to a method for testing a substance interacting with a target molecule in a cell by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) by adding a test substance to the cell and determining a distribution of diffusion coefficients fo ...
This thesis describes a method that allows the production in parallel of nano-reactor systems whose function is controlled by a remote stimulus. The reactors comprise a nested system of lipid vesicles part of which release their content during a thermotrop ...
Microinjection is a gene transfer technique enabling partial control of plasmid delivery into the nucleus or cytoplasm of cultured animal cells. Here this method was used to establish various recombinant mammalian cell lines. The injection volume was estim ...
A new method was developed for the specific and covalent labeling of fusion proteins with small organic probes in vitro and in vivo. The method is based on the construction of fusion proteins of the human O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (hAGT) with a ...
Recently, a new method for the specific covalent labeling of fusion proteins in vitro and in living cells has been developed. This method is based on the unusual mechanism of a DNA repair protein: the O6-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase (AGT). In addition ...
Fluorescent dye tracers are used to show concentration maps of tracer fronts, plumes and pathways on soil profiles and in monolith cross sections. The physical process of fluorescence from the exposed soil surfaces must be understood in order to retrieve a ...
Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a congenital red cell aplasia in which 25% of the patients have a mutation in the ribosomal protein S19 (RPS19) gene. No models exist for RPS19-deficient DBA and the molecular pathogenesis is unknown. To establish an in vit ...
Cell membrane receptors and ion channels are essential in many different cellular processes. To analyse the activity of membrane proteins in vesicles and biological cells, we fabricated micro- nanostructured chips, enabling the application of electrophysio ...
