NOVELTY - Determining a receptor-ligand interaction involves repeatedly contacting a cell comprising a receptor, with a ligand, of the receptor in which the ligand has a fluorescence labeling group and binds reversibly to the receptor under conditions in w ...

The lateral organization of a prototypical G protein-coupled receptor, the neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1R), was investigated in living cells by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) microscopy, taking advantage of the recently developed acyl carrier p ...

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) in muscle fibers are densely packed in the postsynaptic region at the neuromuscular junction. Rapsyn plays a central role in directing and clustering nAChR during cellular differentiation and neuromuscular junction ...

Despite the importance of trafficking for regulating G protein-coupled receptor signaling, for many members of the seven transmembrane helix protein family, such as odorant receptors, little is known about this process in live cells. Here, the complete lif ...

Cell-membrane sheets suitable for in-vitro functional fluorescence studies have been prepd. by direct detachment from cell membranes using poly-L-lysine-coated glass slides. The resulting transferred planar membranes conserve the compn. as well as most pro ...

Sensitive live-cell fluorescence microscopy and single-molecule imaging are severely limited by rapid photobleaching of fluorescent probes. Herein, we show how to circumvent this problem using a novel, generic labeling strategy. Small nickel-nitrilotriacet ...

With the reversible sequential (ReSeq) binding assay, we present a novel approach for the ultrasensitive profiling of receptor function in single living cells. This assay is based on the repetitive application of fluorescent ligands that have fast assocn.- ...

High-aspect-ratio, monocryst. Cd chloride nanowires doped with fluorescent CdS nanoparticles were synthesized using planar lipid membranes as templates. Cd2+ ions bound to the lipid bilayers (a) are released at low pH to the nanometer-sized, interlamellar ...

Supported cell-membrane sheets are promising in vitro systems to investigate the properties of membranes with native protein/lipid composition, in particular their sub-compartmentalization and the differential localization of proteins associated to them. W ...

CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) can recognize and kill target cells that express only a few cognate major histocompatibility complex class I-peptide (pMHC) complexes. To better understand the mol. basis of this sensitive recognition process, the authors ...

CdSe quantum dots (QDs) with a high fluorescence quantum yield of 25% and a narrow size distribution were synthesized in a single step in H2O using glutathione as a stabilizing mol. The exceptional optical properties enabled for the 1st time the detection of in-H2O-prepd. single quantum dots at room temp. For application as fluorescent bioanal. probes, the QDs were coated with streptavidin. These QDs self-assemble with high contrast on micropatterned biotin while preserving their optical properties and thei

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a powerful technique to reveal interactions between membrane proteins in live cells. Fluorescence labeling for FRET is typically performed by fusion with fluorescent proteins (FP) with the drawbacks of a lim ...
