The environment is important for the exact course of a chemical reaction. As an example of the strong influence of the environment on the reaction, this work studies the isomerization reaction of the chromophore retinal in the binding pocket of the protein ...
Maximum likelihood (ML) processing of transmission electron microscopy images of protein particles can produce reconstructions of superior resolution due to a reduced reference bias. We have investigated a ML processing approach to images centered on the u ...
The present study reports on the synthesis of nanocrystalline (K-x,Na1-x)NbO3 powders prepared via microemulsion mediated hydrolytic decomposition of mixed alkoxide solutions. Compositions with different K/Na ratios ranging between the two end members KNbO ...
Time-integrated fluorescence expts. on native bacteriorhodopsin and on its non-isomerizing form bR5.12 are reported. The exptl. set-up was designed such as to observe emission exclusively from the excited state intermediate I-460. We obtain the first syste ...
The crystallographic structure of the cuprate Sr14Cu24O41 is a misfit stacking of layers of two distinct quantum-spin systems: linear edge-sharing CuO2 chains and 2-leg Cu2O3 spin-ladders. Interestingly, the CuO2-chains contain a large amount of holes whic ...
In this work time resolved luminescence measurements on the red phase of 3BCMU are presented. These polydiacetylenes form an ordered and isolated one dimensional model system. This work is divided in two parts. First we present an excitation spectrum in ch ...
A comparative study of absorption spectroscopy at 100 K has been performed on three-dimensional crystals of bacteriorhodopsin extd. from a lipidic cubic phase and on native purple membrane. A modified microspectrophotometer has been designed which yields a ...
NaNbO3 powders with various particle sizes (ranging from 30 nm to several microns) and well-controlled stoichiometry were obtained through microemulsion-mediated synthesis. The effect of particle size on the phase transformation of the prepared NaNbO3 Powd ...
Information on the temporal order, the kinetics, and the energetics of each of the reaction intermediates is required in order to fully elucidate the mechanism of catalytic interaction of G proteins with their receptors. Intrinsic monitors, such as light s ...
Aquaporins form a large family of membrane channels involved in osmoregulation, Electron crystallography has shown monomers to consist of six membrane spanning a-helices confirming sequence based predictions. Surface exposed loops are the least conserved r ...
