The amounts of antibiotics of anthropogenic origin released and accumulated in the
environment are known to have a negative impact on local communities of microorganisms …

The complex composition of bacterial membranes has a significant impact on the
understanding of pathogen function and their development towards antibiotic resistance. In …

Protein misfolding diseases (PMDs) in humans are characterized by the deposition of
protein aggregates in tissues, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, type 2 …

Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) with dissipation and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) are
two characterization techniques that allow describing processes taking place at solid-liquid …

Clinically relevant matrices such as human blood and serum can cause substantial
interference in biosensing measurements, severely compromising the effectiveness of the …

Giant plasma membrane vesicles (GPMVs) are a highly promising model system for the
eukaryotic plasma membrane. The unresolved challenge, however, is a path to surface …

Cell membranes are complex biological bilayer-like structures made up of various
phospholipids and proteins as main components. Biomimetic lipid membranes are model …

An effort aimed at replacing the conventional water column by a relative humidity (RH)
environment for structural investigation of a soft polymer cushion-supported model …

We present the first demonstration of ligand-induced conformational changes in a biological
molecule, a protein, by sum-frequency generation (SFG). Constructs of KRas G12D protein …

Amphitropic proteins and peptides reversibly partition from solution to membrane, a key
process that regulates their functions. Experimental approaches classically used to measure …
