Light-induced modulation of the fluorescence behavior of mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) capped CdTe quantum dots (QDs) in aqueous solution is studied by a combination of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) and ...

The partitioning of the lipidated signaling proteins N-Ras and K-Ras4B into various membrane systems, ranging from single-component fluid bilayers, binary fluid mixtures, heterogeneous raft model membranes up to complex ...

Organisms are thriving in the deep sea at pressures of up to the 1 kbar level. To withstand such harsh conditions, they accumulate particular osmolyte mixtures to counteract the pressure stress imposed. We explored the ...

Fluorescence quenching of CdS quantum dots (QDs) by 4-azetidinyl-7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD), where the two quenching partners satisfy the spectral overlap criterion necessary for Förster resonance energy transfer ...

Single molecule detection provides detailed information about molecular structures and functions but it generally requires the presence of a fluorescent marker which can interfere with the activity of the target molecule ...

Single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) is widely used to monitor conformations and interaction dynamics at the molecular level. However, conventional smFRET measurements are ineffective at donor–acceptor ...

The free energy and conformational landscape of biomolecular systems as well as biochemical reactions depend not only on temperature and pressure, but also on the particular solution conditions. Such conditions include the ...

Study of the emission behavior of all-inorganic perovskite nanocrystals CsPbBr3 and CsPbBr2I as a function of the excitation power employing fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and conventional techniques reveals ...

Model chains are studied via Monte Carlo simulations which are deposited with a fixed flux on a substrate. They may represent, e.g., stiff lipophilic chains with an head group and tail groups mimicking the alkyl chain. ...

We describe experiments and computer simulations of molecular deposition on a substrate in which the molecules (substituted adenine derivatives) self-assemble into ordered structures. The resulting structures depend strongly ...
