A Ca2+ sensor based on the admittance change of synthetic membranes supported on derivatized silicon electrodes is reported. The ion-sensitive membranes consist of mixed monolayers of phospholipid and the Ca2+-ligand ETH 1001. The electrodes are characteri ...
Colicins A and N are pore-forming bacterial toxins that kill Escherichia coli cells. Their mode of action involves three steps; binding to specific receptors located in the outer membrane, translocation through this membrane and the periplasm, and channel ...
The uptake of zinc by cerebellar rat cultures upon exposure to ZnCl2 solutions was comparatively investigated using two well known condensed matter physics techniques: synchrotron photoelectron spectromicroscopy and inductively coupled plasma atomic emissi ...
Aerolysin is one of a large group of bacterial proteins that can kill target cells by forming discrete channels in their plasma membranes. The toxin has many properties in common with the porins of the Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane, including an e ...
Long-exposure photographs taken with a Guinier camera on powders of Zn doped YBCO indicate incomplete inclusion of Zn in YBCO for x>=0.05. The study of the temperature dependence of the Hall number in Zn doped YBCO ceramics shows no substantial change of t ...
Experiments with a curved thi pinch show that the application of an oscillating axial current suppresses the usual toroidal drift of the plasma column and allows a stable, dynamic equilibrium to be established. ...
The coat protein of bacteriophage Pf3 forms discrete and stable ion channels of uniform size in planar bilayers of asolectin. Its primary sequence suggests a channel formed by a bundle of transmembrane helixes. Since the apparent transmembrane region only ...
