Membrane solubilization by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is indispensable for many established biotechnological applications, including viral inactivation and protein extraction. Although the ensemble thermodynamics have been thoroughly explored, underlying molecular dynamics remained inaccessible, owing to major limitations of traditional measurement tools. Here, we integrate multiple advanced biophysical approaches gain multiangle insight into time-dependence fundamental kinetic steps...

Fluorescent biosensors are powerful tools allowing the concentration of metabolites and small molecules, other properties such as pH molecular crowding to be measured inside live single cells. The technology has been hampered by lack simple software identify cells quantify biosensor signals in We have developed a new package, FRETzel, address this gap demonstrate its use measuring insulin-stimulated glucose uptake individual fat varying sizes for first time. Our results support long-standing...

Abstract Rising Arctic temperatures pose a threat to the large carbon stores trapped in permafrost. To assess methane emissions high‐Arctic regions, we analyzed atmospheric data from Alaska and Siberia using two methods: (a) wind sector approach calculate emission changes based on concentration enhancements direction, (b) an inversion method utilizing high‐resolution transport model. Incorporating after 2015, observed significant rise (0.018 ± 0.005 Tg yr −2 2000 2021) Alaska's North Slope,...

Soft-polymer fibers allow strong conformal contact with the skin and are extremely sensitive for deformation, despite high propagation loss. This enables pulse wave velocities measurements. Blood pressure can then be inferred using Moens-Kortweg model.

Large stores of carbon frozen in the Arctic as permafrost are under threat thawing temperatures increase at a rate four times that global mean. This study uses recent atmospheric data from North Slope Alaska and Northeast Siberia to provide most up-to-date assessment emissions trends these two major high-latitude regions.We use methods quantify assess across different seasons: 1) Using 35 years Barrow, Alaska, wind sector method quantifies by calculating concentration enhancements over...
