How Plants Avoid Feeling the Burn
-- Photoprotective effect measured for the first time at single biomolecule level
(23-Jun-2006, Final draft for general public, and for EurekAlert)
Too much sun – for plants as well as people – can be harmful to long-term health. But to avoid the botanical equivalent of "lobster tans", plants have developed an intricate internal defense mechanism, called photoprotection, which acts like sunscreen to ward off the sun’s harmful rays.
"We knew that biomolecules called carotenoids participate in this process of photoprotection, but the question has been, how does this work?" said Iris Visoly-Fisher, a postdoctoral research associate in the Biodesign Institute .......
Successful test of single molecule switch opens the door to biomolecular electronics
(19-Feb-2005, EurekAlert)
A team of scientists led by biophysicist Stuart Lindsay from the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University have created the first reproducible single molecule negative differential resistor and in the process have developed a groundbreaking experimental technique that provides a "roadmap" for designing single molecule devices based on biochemistry .....
ASU Biodesign Researcher to Explore Revolutionary Gene Sequencing: Threading the Molecular Needle
(29-Oct-2004, ASU)
A radical new method of DNA sequencing currently being explored by Stuart Lindsay, Director of the Center for Single Molecule Biophysics in the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University and Professor of Physics at ASU, could make the long-dreamt-of era of true genetic medicine possible with extremely rapid, accurate and low cost sequencing of single DNA molecules.
Single-molecule recognition imaging microscopy (Aug-2004, PNAS)
... The results presented here demonstrate that the highly specific antibody–antigen interaction can be used to generate single-molecule maps of specific types of molecules in a compositionally complex sample while simultaneously carrying out high-resolution topographic imaging. Because it can identify specific components, the technique can be used to map composition over an image and to detect compositional changes occurring during a process. ...
Recently, at Arizona State University’s Biodesign Institute, N.J. Tao and collaborators have found a way to make a key electrical component on a phenomenally tiny scale. Their single-molecule diode is described in this week’s online edition of Nature Chemistry.
