The steady-state electrical behavior of cation-selective ionophore membranes with different kinds of ionic additives was studied on a theoretical basis. Membranes with both mobile and fixed anionic sites exhibit nonlinear current-voltage curves, which is i ...
Patterning of micro- and nanometer scale structures by means of nanostencils (shadow masks) is increasingly being used as a simple, clean and low-cost alternative to photolithography. Currently, large area pattern transfer using nanostencil lithography is ...
Lipophilicity of compounds with therapeutic interest represents one of the most important physicochemical parameters in predicting and interpreting transport processes across biological barriers. This property is commonly measured as a drug | membrane part ...
Tumor necrosis factor TNF can trigger increases in membrane conductance of mammalian cells in a receptor-independent manner via its lectin-like domain. A lectin-deficient TNF mutant, lacking this activity, was able to bind to artificial liposomes in a pH-d ...
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 ...
One of revolutionary technologies to sequence single molecules, such as DNA, is using nanopore devices. A single-channel with nanometer-scale aperture allows an extremely rapid electric analysis of such single molecules. The objective of this work is to fa ...
In this paper, we discuss the fundamental limitations of the SBS analysis as a distributed sensing method when the spatial resolution is in the meter range. We also present a novel experimental configuration that reaches the best performances achievable fo ...
The influence of external currents on the potential response of polymeric membrane ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) is analyzed theoretically. The treatment is based on the well-established potential model of ISE membranes, extended by contributions from cu ...
