… we will take the lower bound for the unknown force exerted by each SNAREpin to be F trans
… force, f, that contributes to the movement is the projection of the total force, F, tangentially to …

This review examines some recent applications of fluorescence recovery after photobleaching
(FRAP) to biopolymers, while mainly focusing on membrane protein studies. Initially, we …

Evidence from biochemistry, genetics, and electron microscopy strongly supports the idea
that a ring of Synaptotagmin is central to the clamping and release of synaptic vesicles (SVs) …

… 6 F), we suspect that Rac may affect cadherin activity directly, independently of actin
remodeling, by an unknown mechanism. We do not exclude the possibility that activated Rac also …

… On the profile shown in Figure 1, this adhesive jump occurred at around 8 nm with a pull-off
force, F t/v /R (where F is force, t/v denotes the use of a t-SNARE/v-SNARE pair and R is …

Oil-in-water emulsions are currently being investigated to facilitate the transport of viscous
heavy oils. The behavior of these emulsions is largely controlled by the interfaces between oil …

… From the inner diameter d of the injection tube (d = 250 µm), the surface tension is determined
by mg/(π*d*f) where f is a Wilkinson geometric parameter correction that depends on the …

Neurotransmitters are released through nascent fusion pores, which ordinarily dilate after
bilayer fusion, preventing consistent biochemical studies. We used lipid bilayer nanodiscs as …

Johnson-Kendall-Roberts (JKR) theory is an accurate model for strong adhesion energies of
soft slightly deformable material. Little is known about the validity of this theory on complex …
