Anchoring the SLIP template: The effect of leg mass on running stability

Auke Ijspeert, Soha Pouya, Rico Möckel

Spring-like leg behavior was found in the global dynamics of human and animal running in sagittal plane. The corresponding template model, the conservative spring-loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP), shows stability for a large range of speeds and is, therefor ...

Measuring In Vivo Protein Half-Life

Didier Trono, Kai Johnsson, Christian Heinis, Isabelle Barde, Sonia Verp, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Karolina Bojkowska, Francesca Santoni de Sio

Protein turnover critically influences many biological functions, yet methods have been lacking to assess this parameter in vivo. Here, we demonstrate how chemical labeling of SNAP-tag fusion proteins can be exploited to measure the half-life of resident i ...

From Phage Display to Dendrimer Display: Insights into Multivalent Binding

Maartje Martina Cornelia Bastings

Phage display is widely used for the selection of target-specific peptide sequences. Presentation of phage peptides on a multivalent platform can be used to (partially) restore the binding affinity. Here, we present a detailed analysis of the effects of va ...
