Conformational changes involved in signal transduction in avian cryptochromes by Gehrckens, AS

“…</p> <p>Finally, by mapping conformational changes found in molecular dynamics simulations onto changes observed in a previous HDX-MS data set on the <em>Drosophila</em> cryptochrome, a few gaps left by the incomplete coverage of the current experimental data were filled by acquiring information on the phosphate-binding loop and the protrusion motif, two regions which have also been found to undergo light-induced structural changes for the avian cryptochromes investigated. …”

Layer-by-Layer Nanoparticles for Cytokine Delivery by Pires, Ivan S.

“…We also find that the LbL film conformation is key to maintaining therapeutic efficacy as thicker films hinder IL-12 delivery. …”

‘On-demand’ soft tissue adhesives by Mogal, Vishal Tukaram

“…Various plasma parameters were investigated for controlling model drug release and soft-tissue adhesion of polyester thin films. When compared to non-treated polyester thin films, plasma intensity could give rise to a ~ 6-fold (for 100 W, 5 min.) increase in shear adhesion strength (157 ± 24 mN/cm2). …”

Influence of post-deposition annealing on interfacial properties between GaN and ZrO2 grown by atomic layer deposition by Ye, Gang, Wang, Hong, Ng, Serene Lay Geok, Ji, Rong, Arulkumaran, Subramaniam, Ng, Geok Ing, Li, Yang, Liu, Zhi Hong, Ang, Kian Siong

“…Influence of post-deposition annealing on interfacial properties related to the formation/annihilation of interfacial GaOx layer of ZrO2 grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) on GaN is studied. ZrO2 films were annealed in N2 atmospheres in temperature range of 300 °C to 700 °C and analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. …”
