AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
A new expt. allows the identification of residues that feature slow conformational exchange in macromols. Rotations about dihedral angles that are slower than the global correlation time tc cause a modulation of the isotropic chem. shifts of the nuclei. If ...
Identification of a Strain Energy Function (SEF) is used when describing the complex mechanical properties of soft biological tissues such as the arterial wall. Classic SEFs, such as the one proposed by Chuong and Fung (J. Biomech. Eng. 105(3) (1983) 268), ...
The structure and the associated dynamics have been investigated in a series of oligopeptides of γ-benzyl-L-glutamate using DSC, WAXS, FTIR, NMR and dielectric spectroscopy, and rheology, respectively. The peptides with degrees of polymerization below 18 a ...
Arteries display a nonlinear anisotropic behavior dictated by the elastic properties and structural arrangement of its main constituents, elastin, collagen, and vascular smooth muscle. Elastin provides for structural integrity and for the compliance of the ...
Interstitial fluid flow, critical for macromolecular transport, was recently shown to drive fibroblast differentiation and perpendicular cell and matrix alignment in 3D collagen cultures. Here we explore the mechanisms underlying this flow-induced cell and ...
Nanoscale structural analyses of biomineralized materials can frequently help elucidate important structure-function relationships in these complex organic-inorganic composites. Atomic force microscope (AFM) imaging of the exterior surface of trabecular bo ...
This protocol describes the setup, maintenance and characteristics of a tissue-engineered model of the human bronchial mucosa that can be used for basic physiology and pathophysiology studies. The model includes a well-differentiated epithelium with functi ...
We report on the origin of the liquid-to-glass transition in a series of oligopeptides of γ -benzyl-L-glutamate up to the polymer (PBLG), and in Poly-Z-L-lysine (PZLL) and Polyglycine (PGly) using dielectric spectroscopy as a function of temperature and pr ...
The peroxiredoxin AhpC from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MtAhpC) is the foremost element of a NADH-dependent peroxidase and peroxynitrite reductase system, where it directly reduces peroxides and peroxynitrite and is in turn reduced by AhpD and other protei ...
Tendons are composed of collagen and other molecules in a highly organized hierarchical assembly, leading to extraordinary mechanical properties. To probe the cross-links on the lower level of organization, we used a cantilever to pull substructures out of ...
