Towards single biomolecule handling and characterization by MEMS
Applications of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology are widespread in both industrial and research fields providing miniaturized smart tools. In this review, we focus on MEMS applications aiming at manipulations and characterization of biomaterials at the single molecule level. Four topics are discussed in detail to show the advantages and impact of MEMS tools for biomolecular mani...
متن کاملPhase retrieval from single biomolecule diffraction pattern.
In this paper, we propose the SPR (sparse phase retrieval) method, which is a new phase retrieval method for coherent x-ray diffraction imaging (CXDI). Conventional phase retrieval methods effectively solve the problem for high signal-to-noise ratio measurements, but would not be sufficient for single biomolecular imaging which is expected to be realized with femto-second x-ray free electron la...
متن کاملSingle-biomolecule kinetics: the art of studying a single enzyme.
The potential of single-enzyme studies to unravel the complex energy landscape of these polymeric catalysts is the next critical step in enzymology. From its inception in Rotman's emulsion experiments in the 1960s, the field of single-molecule enzymology has now advanced into the time-resolved age. Technological advances have enabled individual enzymatic turnover reactions to be observed with a...
متن کاملMEMS Fixtures for Handling and Assembly of Microparts
Fixtures are used to locate and hold parts during automated inspection, machining, or assembly. Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are tiny devices built in batch processes derived from integrated circuit fabrication. We describe a design for an array of MEMS microfixtures for parallel inspection, transport, and assembly of microfabricated parts. In a microfixture array, parts are brought ne...
متن کاملApplication of Single-Electron Transistor to Biomolecule and Ion Sensors
The detection and quantification of chemical and biological species are the key technology in many areas of healthcare and life sciences. Field-effect transistors (FETs) are sophisticated devices used for the label-free and real-time detection of charged species. Nanowire channels were used for highly sensitive detections of target ion or biomolecule in FET sensors, however, even significantly ...
