EVENTS CALENDAR

Rowland's Symmetry & Chirality group, RJF Peer Fischer with post-doc Ambarish Ghosh, collaborate with Nick Sheridon from Xerox to make the first particles that have both an electric and a magnetic dipole moment. See their article: “Voltage-Controllable Magnetic Composite Based on Multifunctional Polyethylene Microparticles”


Reported this month in the Journal of Molecular Biology, Ady Vaknin and Howard C. Berg use YFP labeling and fluorescence anisotropy to show direct evidence for coupling between bacterial chemorectors.
Fluorescence quenching induced by conformational fluctuations in unsolvated polypeptides reported by Park's Trapped Ion Dynamics Lab this month in J. Phys. Chem. B.
