Quantitative, Kinetic Models of Cellular Circuits
Online Presentations | 04 Apr 2009 | Contributor(s):: Michael R. Brent
Living cells contain complex, analog circuits that regulate the rate at which each gene produces its product. The kinetic properties of these circuits enable cells to respond to changes in their environments and thus to survive, reproduce, and compete. For decades, molecular biologists have been...

SPMW Single molecule recognition atomic force microscopy
Online Presentations | 05 Jan 2007 | Contributor(s):: Peter Hinterdorfer
In molecular recognition force microscopy (MRFM), ligands are covalently attached to atomic force microscopy tips for the molecular recognition of their cognitive receptors on probe surfaces. A ligand-containing tip is approached towards the receptors on the probe surface, which possibly leads to...
