Addressing the Requirements of High‐Sensitivity Single‐Molecule Imaging of Low‐Copy‐Number Proteins in Bacteria
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2016-05-18)
Single‐molecule fluorescence super‐resolution imaging and tracking provide nanometer‐scale information about subcellular protein positions and dynamics. These single‐molecule imaging experiments can be very powerful, but ...
The Role of Topological Constraints in RNA Tertiary Folding and Dynamics.
(2014)
Functional RNA molecules must fold into highly complex three-dimensional (3D) structures and undergo precise structural dynamics in order to carry out their biological functions. However, the principles that govern RNA 3D ...
A Microelectronic Sensor Device Powered by a Small Implantable Biofuel Cell
(Wiley-VCH, 2020-01-03)
Biocatalytic buckypaper electrodes modified with pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)‐dependent glucose dehydrogenase and bilirubin oxidase for glucose oxidation and oxygen reduction, respectively, were prepared for their use ...
Methodological Advances for Drug Discovery and Protein Engineering
(2018)
Designing and engineering molecules that have specified properties not only test our understanding of nature but also play an important role in improving both human health and industrial productivity. Two such examples are ...
Modifying Single-Molecule Fluorescence with a Plasmonic Optical Antenna: Theory, Methodology, and Measurement
(2018)
Nanophotonics is the study and technological application of light on the nanometer scale. This dissertation brings together two disparate branches of nanophotonics: plasmonics and single-molecule super-resolution microscopy. ...
Mapping, Tracking and Modeling the Movements of Single Membrane-Bound Transcription Activator Proteins in Live Vibrio cholerae.
(2014)
Cholera has been known since ancient times, yet there is still no cure. Vibrio cholerae bacteria cause cholera by producing cholera toxin. Cholera toxin production is regulated by the protein ToxT, which itself is regulated ...
Understanding the Optical and Photophysical Properties of Organic and Hybrid Macromolecules and Polymers for Solar Cell Application
(2021)
Organic solar cell materials represent a better sustainable alternative relative to inorganic materials in terms of lower cost, ease of large-scale processing, better absorptivity, ease of tunability, and unique flexibility ...
Continuum-Scale Modeling of Rechargeable Batteries
(2020)
During the operation of a rechargeable battery, the electrochemical reactions occur at the interface between the electrolyte and the active material in the electrode. The electrochemical performance of such batteries is ...
Growth, Characterization and Assembly of Lead Chalcogenide Nanosemiconductors for Ionizing Radiation Sensors
(2022)
The demand for precise and efficient nuclear radiation detection has increased dramatically, particularly in numerous scientific disciplines, as well as homeland security and medical imaging applications. Modern methods ...
Ultrafast Hydration Dynamics Near Extended Macromolecular Interfaces
(2019)
Liquid water is arguably the most complex, but interesting chemical, enabling development and sustenance of life. The tetrahedral geometry of the water molecule allows the formation of a dense network of hydrogen bonds ...
