TL;DR: A highly sensitive 27-MHz quartz-crystal microbalance was employed to detect hybridization of complementary oligonucleotides in aqueous solution and the obtained results were compared with those obtained by a surface plasmon resonance method using a BIAcore system.

TL;DR: This study is the first report demonstrating proof-of-concept for a hydrogel-based touch sensor pad used for the non-invasive extraction and detection of sweat components.

TL;DR: The aforementioned values suggest that the energy dissipation of proteins was mainly caused by hydration and that proteins themselves are elastic molecules without energy Dissipation in aqueous solutions.

TL;DR: This article examines the nuclear transport of lambda phage particles displaying various peptides containing the minimum NLS of SV40 T antigen on their surface and reveals that the objects with 50 nm in diameter can pass through the nuclear pore complex when the optimized NLS is displayed at a sufficient density on theirsurface.

TL;DR: A new tool of a highly sensitive 27 MHz quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM) in which the resonance frequency decreases linearly with the increase of mass on the electrode area at the nanogram level is introduced, so that when a host molecule is immobilized on a QCM, the binding behavior and its kinetics can be monitored from frequency changes due to the guest binding in aqueous solution.
