Journal ArticleDOI
Transport of beads by several kinesin motors.
Janina Beeg,Stefan Klumpp,Rumiana Dimova,Rubèn Serral Gracià,Eberhard Unger,Reinhard Lipowsky +5 more
TL;DR: The movements of beads pulled by several kinesin-1 (conventional kinesIn) motors are studied both theoretically and experimentally and the walking distance or run-length is strongly increased when more motors are involved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of the protein components of Nephila clavipes dragline silk.
Alexander Sponner,Bernhard Schlott,Fritz Vollrath,Eberhard Unger,Frank Grosse,Klaus Weisshart +5 more
TL;DR: Spider silk is predominantly composed of structural proteins called spider fibroins or spidroins, and polypeptides reactive against both Masp 1 and 2 specific antibodies were found to be expressed in the epithelia of the tail and different gland zones and accumulated in the gland secreted material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Composition and hierarchical organisation of a spider silk
Alexander Sponner,Wolfram Vater,Shamci Monajembashi,Eberhard Unger,Frank Grosse,Klaus Weisshart +5 more
TL;DR: The morphological defined structural elements in dragline silk of Nephila clavipes are linked to their biochemical composition and physicochemical properties to understand the composite nature of silk and its supra-molecular organisation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selection of D‐Amino‐Acid Peptides That Bind to Alzheimer's Disease Amyloid Peptide Aβ1–42 by Mirror Image Phage Display

TL;DR: The mirror image of the most representative peptide (D‐pep) was shown to bind Aβ(1–42) with a dissociation constant in the submicromolar range and possible applications of this novel and highly specific Aβ ligand in diagnosis and therapy of Alzheimer's disease are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motor protein-driven unidirectional transport of micrometer-sized cargoes across isopolar microtubule arrays
TL;DR: The present paper demonstrates the unidirectional translocation of kinesin-coated cargoes across arrays of microtubules aligned not only in a geometrically parallel but also in an isopolar fashion.
