Abstract Nanodiamonds containing fluorescent Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers are the
smallest single particles, of which a magnetic resonance spectrum can be recorded at room …

Distance distributions between paramagnetic centers in the range of 1.8 to 6 nm in
membrane proteins and up to 10 nm in deuterated soluble proteins can be measured by the …

The ideas that proteins might possess specific functions without being uniquely folded into
rigid 3D-structures and that these floppy polypeptides might constitute a noticeable part of …

A polymer chain of N atoms enjoys 3N-6 internal degrees of freedom, which gives rise to
infinitely many conformations. Even a simple model of N) 100 atoms where bond lengths …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have received considerable interest as a source of new
antibiotics with the potential for treatment of multiple-drug resistant infections. An important …

The biological function of protein, DNA, and RNA molecules often depends on relative
movements of domains with dimensions of a few nanometers. This length scale can be …

▪ Abstract Research in the past decade has revealed that many cytosolic proteins are
recruited to different cellular membranes to form protein-protein and lipid-protein interactions …

In mechanosensitive (MS) channels, gating is initiated by changes in intra-bilayer pressure
profiles originating from bilayer deformation. Here we evaluated two physical mechanisms …

α-Synuclein is known to play a causative role in Parkinson disease. Although its
physiological functions are not fully understood, α-synuclein has been shown to interact with …

The microtubule-associated protein tau stabilizes microtubules in its physiological role,
whereas it forms insoluble aggregates (paired helical filaments) in Alzheimer's disease …
