The core–shell structure of a range of acrylic–acrylic latexes has been investigated by combining different specimen preparation methods with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (DSTEM) and low-volta ...
We show that the rod-shaped Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) can be coated with the wide band gap semiconductor zinc oxide by electroless deposition under mild reaction conditions. The process involves pretreatment with aqueous Pd(II), followed by nucleation of ...
The investigation of two hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC) derivatives carrying linear or branched perfluoroalkylated side chains is reported. Polycondensed aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) such as HBC derivatives are well known to self-organize to form highly ...
DNA is a long polymer with the form of a double helix of about two nanometers diameter (2.10-9 meters). It is composed of nucleotides whose sequence carries the information of heredity. The four possible nucleotides have slightly different geometries, and ...
Described is a new class of small molecule inhibitors of amyloid beta protein (Abeta) aggregation, based on apomorphine. These molecules target the nucleation phase of Abeta self-assembly and interfere effectively with aggregation of Abeta 1-40 into amyloi ...
The incommensurately modulated scheelite-like KSm(MoO4)2 structure has been refined in the monoclinic superspace group I2/b(ab0)00 by the Rietveld method on the basis of synchrotron radiation powder diffraction data. The systematic broadening of satellite ...
The objective of molecular electron microscopy (EM) is to use etectron microscopes to visualize the structure of biological molecules. This Review provides a brief overview of the methods used in molecular EM, their respective strengths and successes, and ...
Identification of proteins in 3D maps of cells is a main challenge in structural cell biology. For light microscopy (LM) clonable reagents such as green fluorescent protein represented a real revolution and equivalent reagents for transmission electron mic ...
The third and most recently identified Parkinson's disease-linked variant of the neuronal protein alpha-synuclein to be identified (E46K) results in widespread brain pathology and early onset Parkinson symptoms (Zarranz et al. (2004) Ann. Neurol. 55, 164-1 ...
Epitaxial lithium tantalate (LiTaO3) thin films were grown on the hexagonal plane of sapphire substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. Two crystallographic variants, related to each other by 180° rotation around the c axis, as well as non-180 ...
