Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging linear birefringence and dichroism in cerebral amyloid pathologies
Lee-Way Jin,Kacey Claborn,Miki Kurimoto,Morten Andreas Geday,Izumi Maezawa,Faranak Sohraby,Marcus R. Estrada,Werner Kaminksy,Bart Kahr +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the amyloid deposits in Alzheimer's disease plaques contain structurally disordered centers, providing clues to mechanisms of crystallization of amyloids in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circular Dichroism Imaging Microscopy: Application to Enantiomorphous Twinning in Biaxial Crystals of 1,8-Dihydroxyanthraquinone
TL;DR: This work has applied a retrogressive solution: mechanical light modulation by rotating a linear polarizer with respect to a quarter wave plate continuously tuned by tilting to the operating wavelength to anomalously birefringent crystals of 1,8-dihydroxyanthraquinone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetic Stabilization of Biopolymers in Single-Crystal Hosts: Green Fluorescent Protein in α-Lactose Monohydrate
Miki Kurimoto,Paramjeet Subramony,Richard W. Gurney,Scott Lovell,Jean A Chmielewski,Bart Kahr +5 more
Journal ArticleDOI
α-Lactose monohydrate single crystals as hosts for matrix isolation of guest biopolymers
TL;DR: Glycosylation increased the amount of protein contained within the crystals and the guest molecules were found only within the (010) growth sector of the hatchet shaped crystals, thereby binding preferentially to one of the seven developed crystal faces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intrasectoral zoning of proteins and nucleotides in simple crystalline hosts
Miki Kurimoto,Loyd D. Bastin,Daniel Fredrickson,Pamela N. Gustafson,Sei-Hum Jang,Werner Kaminsky,Scott Lovell,Christine A. Mitchell,Jean Chmielewski,Bart Kahr +9 more
TL;DR: Two types of crystals are shown as examples of the single crystal matrix isolate of biopolymers: green fluorescent protein in α-lactose monohydrate as a model system for studying the kinetic stabilization of biopharmaceuticals, and adenosine phosphates in potassium dihydrogen phosphate, a first step in the matrix isolation of oligonucleotides.
