This book was released on 2016 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Near-field energy transfer has great potential for use in nanoscale communications, biosensing, and light harvesting photonic devices. However, the light collecting and energy transferring efficiency of current devices is poor, resulting in few commercially available applications. Current human-made light harvesting devices lack the benefits of natural selection. Natural systems are typically highly optimized and highly efficient. For example, transfer efficiency in photosynthesis is greater than 90%. In this work, two classes of optical devices were designed, synthesized, and characterized: Plasmonic waveguides and FRET-based photonic devices. In the case of plasmonic waveguides, a multi-scaffold DNA origami synthesis method was developed to fabricate linear waveguides with 10-nm diameter gold nanoparticles. Precise control over interparticle gaps and interchromophore distances was demonstrated. Using a similar approach, DNA labeled fluorophores were arranged in linear and branched geometries to form FRET-based photonic wires and light harvesting devices. Recently, homogeneous FRET (homoFRET) has emerged as a potential way of increasing the transfer efficiency of photonic wires. However, little is known about the design principles needed to construct such devices. To address this knowledge gap, linear photonic wires, and three light harvesting devices were designed, synthesized, and characterized. All the devices contained a homoFRET region to extend the energy transfer distance. Over 50 different FRET-based photonic wires with different homogeneous FRET configurations were evaluated. Several configurations were found that resulted in a higher end-to-end efficiency despite possessing fewer dyes. A six-fold antenna gain was achieved in the case of the light-harvesting devices. The findings demonstrate that homoFRET can be used to increase the energy harvesting capability of photonic devices. In general, the work also showed that DNA nanotechnology can be used to self-assemble a variety of photonic devices. Additionally, the work has established some basic design rules that will enable the bottom-up assembly of more elaborate devices."--Boise State University ScholarWorks.
Download or read book FRET F rster Resonance Energy Transfer written by Igor L. Medintz and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-10-17 with total page 824 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FRET – Förster Resonance Energy Transfer Meeting the need for an up-to-date and detailed primer on all aspects of the topic, this ready reference reflects the incredible expansion in the application of FRET and its derivative techniques over the past decade, especially in the biological sciences. This wide diversity is equally mirrored in the range of expert contributors. The book itself is clearly subdivided into four major sections. The first provides some background, theory, and key concepts, while the second section focuses on some common FRET techniques and applications, such as in vitro sensing and diagnostics, the determination of protein, peptide and other biological structures, as well as cellular biosensing with genetically encoded fluorescent indicators. The third section looks at recent developments, beginning with the use of fluorescent proteins, followed by a review of FRET usage with semiconductor quantum dots, along with an overview of multistep FRET. The text concludes with a detailed and greatly updated series of supporting tables on FRET pairs and Förster distances, together with some outlook and perspectives on FRET. Written for both the FRET novice and for the seasoned user, this is a must-have resource for office and laboratory shelves.

Download or read book Metals in Cells written by Valeria Culotta and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last three decades a lot of research on the role of metals in biochemistry and medicine has been done. As a result many structures of biomolecules with metals have been characterized and medicinal chemistry studied the effects of metal containing drugs. This new book (from the EIBC Book Series) covers recent advances made by top researchers in the field of metals in cells [the “metallome”] and include: regulated metal ion uptake and trafficking, sensing of metals within cells and across tissues, and identification of the vast cellular factors designed to orchestrate assembly of metal cofactor sites while minimizing toxic side reactions of metals. In addition, it features aspects of metals in disease, including the role of metals in neuro-degeneration, liver disease, and inflammation, as a way to highlight the detrimental effects of mishandling of metal trafficking and response to "foreign" metals. With the breadth of our recently acquired understanding of metals in cells, a book that features key aspects of cellular handling of inorganic elements is both timely and important. At this point in our understanding, it is worthwhile to step back and take an expansive view of how far our understanding has come, while also highlighting how much we still do not know. The content from this book will publish online, as part of EIBC in December 2013, find out more about the Encyclopedia of Inorganic and Bioinorganic Chemistry, the essential online resource for researchers and students working in all areas of inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry.

This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid-Cycle Real-Time PCR is a powerful technique for nucleic acid amplification and analysis that often requires less than half an hour to perform. Samples are amplified by rapid-cycle PCR followed by immediate melting curve analysis in the same instrument. Melting curve analysis of PCR products with SYBR Green I often allows product identification without gel electrophoresis. Furthermore, in the presence of fluorescent hybridization probes, melting curves provide "dynamic dot blots" for fine sequence analysis, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The method is often cited as the most versatile, efficient method for nucleic acid analysis in research and diagnostics in the fields of genetics and oncology. Molecular diagnostics has never been easier!
Download or read book Beyond the Molecular Frontier written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-03-19 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chemistry and chemical engineering have changed significantly in the last decade. They have broadened their scopeâ€"into biology, nanotechnology, materials science, computation, and advanced methods of process systems engineering and controlâ€"so much that the programs in most chemistry and chemical engineering departments now barely resemble the classical notion of chemistry. Beyond the Molecular Frontier brings together research, discovery, and invention across the entire spectrum of the chemical sciencesâ€"from fundamental, molecular-level chemistry to large-scale chemical processing technology. This reflects the way the field has evolved, the synergy at universities between research and education in chemistry and chemical engineering, and the way chemists and chemical engineers work together in industry. The astonishing developments in science and engineering during the 20th century have made it possible to dream of new goals that might previously have been considered unthinkable. This book identifies the key opportunities and challenges for the chemical sciences, from basic research to societal needs and from terrorism defense to environmental protection, and it looks at the ways in which chemists and chemical engineers can work together to contribute to an improved future.
