DNA point accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography (DNA-PAINT)[1] is a powerful super-resolution technique highly suitable for multi-target (multiplexing) bio-imaging. However, multiplexed imaging of cells is still challenging due to the dense and sticky environment inside a cell. Here, we combine fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) with DNA-PAINT and use the lifetime...
Despite the significant achievements of biophysical science, many mechanisms of interaction between biological molecules and external agents (medicines) are not explained. There are many different approaches to the study of the interaction of proteins with drugs. One of them is a study of the spectral properties of π-conjugated amino acids (tyrosine, tryptophan, phenylalanine), which absorb...
Reservoirs of lipid molecules, specifically onion shell vesicles, spread on high energy surfaces, e.g. SiO2, to form a stack of molecular films (double bilayer). Eventually, the spreading lipid exhausts the reservoir, and rising tension ruptures the films. Köksal et al. discovered that this disruptive process generates a network of nanotubes, which redistributes lipid material in order to...
