Anisotropic protein diffusion on nanosurface by Liu, Yang, Song, Xiaohan, Yang, Yanmei, Li, Yong-Qiang, Zhao, Mingwen, Mu, Yuguang, Li, Weifeng

“…On the MBP surface, HP35 migrates mainly along the zigzag direction but can also easily stride over the ridges and grooves along the armchair direction. Moreover, the mild binding strength between α-PC and HP35 does not cause distortion in the protein structure. …”

Integration of an Aptamer-Based Signal-On Probe and a Paper-Based Origami Preconcentrator for Small Molecule Biomarkers Detection by Lee, Na E., Hong, Ji H., Lee, Seungmin, Yoo, Yong K., Kim, Kang H., Park, Jeong S., Kim, Cheonjung, Yoon, Junghyo, Yoon, Dae S., Lee, Jeong H.

“…However, detecting small molecules such as cortisol using LFAs is challenging due to limited binding sites and weak signal generation. Here, we report the development of cortisol-specific aptamer-based probes and a paper-based origami preconcentrator (POP) to amplify the probe signal. …”
