Nanoscale Protein Diffusion in Supercooled Cryoprotectant Solutions
Maddalena Bin, Anita Girelli, Mariia Filianina +15
Vitrification during cryopreservation requires a quantitative understanding of protein transport in deeply supercooled cryoprotectant solutions, yet direct measurements at molecula…
Probing laser-driven surface and subsurface dynamics via grazing-incidence XFEL scattering and diffraction
Lisa Randolph, Ãzgül Ãztürk, Dmitriy Ksenzov +34
We demonstrate a grazing-incidence x-ray platform that simultaneously records time-resolved grazing-incidence small-angle x-ray scattering (GISAXS) and grazing-incidence x-ray diff…
Coherent X-rays reveal anomalous molecular diffusion and cage effects in crowded protein solutions
Anita Girelli, Maddalena Bin, Mariia Filianina +38
Understanding protein motion within the cell is crucial for predicting reaction rates and macromolecular transport in the cytoplasm. A key question is how crowded environments affe…
Depletion-Induced Interactions Modulate Nanoscale Protein Diffusion in Polymeric Crowder Solutions
Michelle Dargasz, Nimmi Das Anthuparambil, Sebastian Retzbach +26
Macromolecular crowding plays a crucial role in modulating protein dynamics in cellular and in vitro environments. Polymeric crowders such as dextran and Ficoll are known to induce…
Softness and Hydrodynamic Interactions Regulate Lipoprotein Transport in Crowded Yolk Environments
Nimmi Das Anthuparambil, Michelle Dargasz, Sonja Timmermann +27
Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) serve as nutrient reservoirs in egg yolk for embryonic development and as promising drug carriers. Both roles critically depend on their mobility in…
