Abstract: Compared to the organic counterparts, chiral self-assembly of nanomaterials shows persistency to kinetic factors such as solvent environments, and consequently, dynamic modulation of self-assembly and functions remains major challenge. Here, it is shown that alkylated,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mtcomm.2019.100593
Abstract: Abstract Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) using structures of metal nanoparticles (NPs) is extremely sensitive to the relative orientation of the polarization of the incident light with the interparticle axis. Self-assembly of metal nanoparticles is a… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.63349
Abstract: Septins are conserved cytoskeletal proteins that regulate cell cortex mechanics. The mechanisms of their interactions with the plasma membrane remain poorly understood. Here, we show by cell-free reconstitution that binding to flat lipid membranes requires… read more here.
