In vitro Synthesis of GPCRs in a Solid Supported Planar Lipid Membrane System

Theo Lasser, Marcel Leutenegger

Membrane protein research depends largely on the availability of functional protein in an instrumental set-up for application of biophysical investigations. We used an in vitro synthesis strategy in the presence of a solid supported lipid membrane as a new ...

Fabrication of low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC)-based sensor and micro-fluidic structures

Hansu Birol

Low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology has attracted remarkable attention in fabrication of sensors and micro-fluidic devices in the last decade. Although structuring planar LTCC foils, which are processed and screen-printed with thick-films, s ...

A rivet model for channel formation by aerolysin-like pore-forming toxins

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Mircea Ioan Iacovache

The bacterial toxin aerolysin kills cells by forming heptameric channels, of unknown structure, in the plasma membrane. Using disulfide trapping and cysteine scanning mutagenesis coupled to thiol-specific labeling on lipid bilayers, we identify a loop that ...

Gas viscosity sensor

Peter Ryser, Sigfrid Straessler

A gas viscosity sensor comprises a signal processing circuit and a sensor element, including a gas pressure generating system and a differential pressure measuring system in fluid communication therewith, the differential pressure measuring system comprisi ...

Characterization of microcapsules

Jutta Christine Wandrey, David Hunkeler

A review on the methods of characterization of multicomponent microcapsules. Requirements to measure the ingress and egress of small and macromols. through the membrane are discussed, along with the relevant theory. The relevant factors to consider in micr ...
