Crystallization of Size-Selective Nanopores in Graphene for Gas Separation

Mojtaba Chevalier

Nanoporous single-layer graphene (N-SLG) membranes, owing to their single-atom thinness, have the potential to exceed the permeance and selectivity limits of gas separation membranes. However, two key issues in the top-down N-SLG synthesis need to be addre ...

Buckling instabilities and spatio-temporal dynamics of active elastic filaments

Tobias Schneider

Biological filaments driven by molecular motors tend to experience tangential propulsive forces also known as active follower forces. When such a filament encounters an obstacle, it deforms, which reorients its follower forces and alters its entire motion. ...

Single-molecule kinetics of pore assembly by the membrane attack complex

Georg Fantner, Adrian Pascal Nievergelt

The membrane attack complex (MAC) is a hetero-oligomeric protein assembly that kills pathogens by perforating their cell envelopes. The MAC is formed by sequential assembly of soluble complement proteins C5b, C6, C7, C8 and C9, but little is known about th ...

Revealing Assembly of a Pore-Forming Complex Using Single-Cell Kinetic Analysis and Modeling

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Felix Naef, Daniel Boss, Mircea Ioan Iacovache, Mirko Bischofberger

Many biological processes depend on the sequential assembly of protein complexes. However, studying the kinetics of such processes by direct methods is often not feasible. As an important class of such protein complexes, pore-forming toxins start their jou ...

Selective transport control on molecular velcro made from intrinsically disordered proteins

Sylvia Jeney

The selectivity and speed of many biological transport processes(1) transpire from a 'reduction of dimensionality'(2) that confines diffusion to one or two dimensions instead of three(3). This behaviour remains highly sought after on polymeric surfaces(4) ...
