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 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 ...
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 ...
In this paper, we describe two methods for computerized analysis of cryo electron tomography reconstructions of biomolecules. Both methods aim at quantifying the degree of structural flexibility of macromolecules and eventually resolving the inner dynamics ...
Biocomposite hydrogels with carboxymethylated, nanofibrillated cellulose (c-NFC) powder were prepared by UV polymerization of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone with Tween 20 trimethacrylate as a cross-linking agent for replacement of the native, human nucleus pulposus ...
We use cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to study the 3D shapes of 94-bp-long DNA minicircles and address the question of whether cyclization of such short DNA molecules necessitates the formation of sharp, localized kinks in DNA or whether the necessary ...
Single-layer MoS2 is a newly emerging two-dimensional semiconductor with a potentially wide range of applications in the fields of nanoelectronics and energy harvesting. The fact that it can be exfoliated down to single-layer thickness, makes MoS2 interest ...
A versatile methodology for electron microscopy (EM) grid preparation enabling total content sample analysis is presented. A microfluidic-dialysis conditioning module to desalt or mix samples with negative stain solution is used, combined with a robotic wr ...
Surface processing of a Ti–6Al–4V alloy led to a complex multilayered microstructure containing several phases of the Ni–Ti–P–Al–O system, which improves the mechanical and tribological surface properties. The microstructure, chemical and phase composition ...
