Title: RED FLUORESCENCE IN BOVINE SERUM ALBUMIN – GOLD COMPLEXES
Author: Dixon, Jacob
Date Created: 2019
Subjects--Topical: Optics, Physics
Description: Bovine serum albumin (BSA)-gold (Au) complexes have been studied in great detail due to their unique red fluorescent (λem = 640 nm) properties, since being initially described by Xie et al. (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2009, 131, 888-889) as a Au25 nanoclus...

Title: REGULATION OF ACTOMYOSIN ATPASE
Author: Ge, Jinghua
Date Created: 2016
Subjects--Topical: Optics, Physics, Biophysics
Description: Myosin is a molecular motor that converts chemical energy to mechanical energy, thus generating force and movement in muscles and cells. Myosin interacts with two ligands, ATP (fuel) and actin filaments (motor’s tracks). Actomyosin interaction is ...
