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 ultrafast heating and ionization dynamics in solid density plasmas with time-resolved resonant X-ray absorption and emission

Lingen Huang, Mikhail Mishchenko, Michal Šmíd +34

Heating and ionization are among the most fundamental processes in relativistic laser--solid interactions; however, their spatiotemporal evolution remains challenging to capture ex…

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…

X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy of hydrated lysozyme at elevated pressures

Milla à hlfeldt, Maddalena Bin, Anita Girelli +12

Pressure provides a powerful parameter to control the protein conformation state, which at sufficiently high values can lead to unfolding. Here, we investigate the effects of incre…

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…
