Aerolysin secreted by the human pathogen Aeromonas hydrophila belongs to a group of bacterial toxins that are hemolytic and form channels in biological membranes. The toxin is secreted as an inactive precursor proaerolysin that must be proteolytically proc ...
Conformational changes occurring upon membrane binding and subsequent insertion of staphylococcal alpha-toxin were studied using complementary spectroscopic techniques. Experimental conditions were established where binding could be uncoupled from membrane ...
Membrane proteins fulfill many central functions in the biological membrane. The insertion process of these proteins and their structure, which are intimately linked to their function, are not yet well understood. As a model we studied three proteins recon ...
A process to fabricate functional polysilicon structures above large (4 x 4 mm(2)) thin (200 nm), very flat LPCVD silicon rich nitride membranes was developed. Key features of this fabrication process are the use of low-stress LPCVD silicon nitride, sacrif ...
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 ...
The alpha-toxin from Staphylococcus aureus undergoes several conformational changes from the time it is released from the bacterium to the moment it forms a channel in the plasma membrane of its target cell. It is initially a soluble monomer, which undergo ...
The large-scale prodn. of microcapsules with defined membrane thickness and permeabilities, both decoupled from the mech. resistance, is demonstrated. Specifically, a novel app., which controls the downstream part of the microencapsulation process has been ...
Patterning with lithographic processes requires processing steps including the use of resist spinning and chemical solvents for the development of resist. These steps cannot be applied to mechanical fragile and bio/chemically functional surface layers such ...
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 ...
For the first time, the std. free energy change, DG Deg, of a membrane-inserting protein with a leader sequence has been detd. exptl., using M13 procoat protein as an example. The partition coeff. for the distribution of the procoat protein between the aq. ...
