Understanding and improving axial detection in optical tweezers based on the interference of forward- and backward- scattered light
Isaac Pérez Castillo, Simon Leturcq, Sylvain Domitin +3
Fast and accurate 3D position detection in optical tweezers (OT) is essential for quantitatively monitoring subtle variations in the mechanical properties of microscopic systems ra…
Signature of (anti)cooperativity in the stochastic fluctuations of small systems: application to the bacterial flagellar motor
María-José Franco-Oñate, Andrea Parmeggiani, Jérôme Dorignac +6
The cooperative binding of molecular agents onto a substrate is pervasive in living systems. To study whether a system shows cooperativity, one can rely on a fluctuation analysis o…
Dynamic stiffening of the flagellar hook
Ashley L. Nord, Anais Biquet-Bisquert, Manouk Abkarian +4
Many bacteria are motile by means of one or more rotating rigid helical flagella, making them the only known organism to use rotation as a means of propulsion. The rotation is supp…
High resolution photonic force microscopy based on sharp nano-fabricated tips
Rudy Desgarceaux, Zhanna Santybayeva, Eliana Battistella +6
Sub-nm resolution images can be achieved by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) on samples that are deposited on hard substrates. However, it is still extremely challenging to image soft…
Load-dependent adaptation near zero load in the bacterial flagellar motor
Jasmine A Nirody, Ashley L. Nord, Richard M. Berry
The bacterial flagellar motor is an ion-powered transmembrane protein complex which drives swimming in many bacterial species. The motor consists of a cytoplasmic 'rotor' ring and…
