How Plants Avoid Feeling the
Burn
-- Photoprotective effect measured for the
first time at single biomolecule level
(23-Jun-2006, Final
draft for general public, and for
EurekAlert)
Too much sun –
for plants as well as people – can be harmful to long-term
health. But to avoid the botanical equivalent of "lobster
tans", plants have developed an intricate internal defense
mechanism, called photoprotection, which acts like sunscreen
to ward off the sun’s harmful rays.
"We knew that biomolecules
called carotenoids participate in this process of photoprotection,
but the question has been, how does this work?" said

Successful
test of single molecule switch opens the door to biomolecular
electronics
(19-Feb-2005, EurekAlert)
A team of scientists led by
biophysicist Stuart Lindsay from the Biodesign Institute at
Arizona State University have created the first reproducible
single molecule negative differential resistor and in the
process have developed a groundbreaking experimental technique
that provides a "roadmap" for designing single molecule
devices based on biochemistry .....
ASU
Biodesign Researcher to Explore Revolutionary Gene Sequencing:
Threading the Molecular Needle
(29-Oct-2004, ASU)
A radical new method of DNA
sequencing currently being explored by Stuart Lindsay, Director
of the Center for Single Molecule Biophysics in the Biodesign
Institute at Arizona State University and Professor of Physics
at ASU, could make the long-dreamt-of era of true genetic
medicine possible with extremely rapid, accurate and low cost
sequencing of single DNA molecules.
Single-molecule
recognition imaging microscopy (Aug-2004, PNAS)
... The results presented here
demonstrate that the highly specific antibody–antigen
interaction can be used to generate single-molecule maps of
specific types of molecules in a compositionally complex sample
while simultaneously carrying out high-resolution topographic
imaging. Because it can identify specific components, the
technique can be used to map composition over an image and
to detect compositional changes occurring during a process.
