Journal ArticleDOI
A strategy for the generation of surfaces presenting ligands for studies of binding based on an active ester as a common reactive intermediate: a surface plasmon resonance study.
TL;DR: Ten proteins and two low-molecular-weight ligands were immobilized on mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiolates on gold generated from the tri(ethylene glycol)-terminated thiol 1 and these SAMs were resistant to nonspecific adsorption of proteins having a wide range of molecular weights and isoelectric points.

TL;DR: Embedding functional components into soft robotic tentacles that move in three dimensions upon pressurization (for example, a needle for delivering fluid, a video camera, and a suction cup) extends their capabilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterning cells and their environments using multiple laminar fluid flows in capillary networks.

TL;DR: This method offers a way to simultaneously control the characteristics of the surface to which cells are attached, the type of cells that are in their vicinity, and the kind of media that cells or part of a cell are exposed to.
Journal ArticleDOI
A self-assembled monolayer for the binding and study of histidine-tagged proteins by surface plasmon resonance.
TL;DR: Surface plasmon resonance studies showed that His-tagged proteins adsorbed on the NTA-SAM retained a greater ability to participate in binding interactions with proteins in solution than protein immobilized in a thin dextran gel layer by covalent coupling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoscience, nanotechnology, and chemistry.
TL;DR: “Nanoscience” is the emerging science of objects that are intermediate in size between the largest molecules and the smallest structures that can be fabricated by current photolithography; that is, thescience of objects with smallest dimensions ranging from a few nanometers to less than 100 nanometers.
