Brownian motion of flexibly-linked colloidal rings
Ruben Verweij, Julio Melio, Indrani Chakraborty +1
Ring, or cyclic, polymers have unique properties compared to linear polymers, due to their topologically closed structure that has no beginning or end. Experimental measurements on…
Self-assembly dynamics of reconfigurable colloidal molecules
Indrani Chakraborty, Daniel J. G. Pearce, Ruben W. Verweij +3
Colloidal molecules are designed to mimic their molecular analogues through their anisotropic shape and interactions. However, current experimental realizations are missing the str…
Conformations and diffusion of flexibly linked colloidal chains
Ruben W. Verweij, Pepijn G. Moerman, Loes P. P. Huijnen +6
For biologically relevant macromolecules such as intrinsically disordered proteins, internal degrees of freedom that allow for shape changes have a large influence on both the moti…
Two Coupled Mechanisms Produce Fickian, yet non-Gaussian Diffusion in Heterogeneous Media
Indrani Chakraborty, Yael Roichman
Fickian yet non-Gaussian diffusion is observed in several biological and soft matter systems, yet the underlying mechanisms behind the emergence of non-Gaussianity while retaining…
Nanoparticle mobility over a surface as a probe for weak transient disordered peptide-peptide interactions
Indrani Chakraborty, Gil Rahamim, Ram Avinery +2
Weak interactions form the core basis of a vast number of biological processes, in particular, those involving intrinsically disordered proteins. Here, we establish a new technique…
Colloidal Joints with Designed Motion Range and Tunable Joint Flexibility
Indrani Chakraborty, Vera Meester, Casper van der Wel +1
The miniaturization of machines towards the micron and nanoscales requires the development of joint-like elements that enable and constrain motion. We present a facile method to cr…
