We study Andreev states near atomic scale modulations in the pairing potential in both s- and d-wave superconductors with short coherence lengths. For a moderate reduction of the local gap, the states exist only close to the gap edge. If one allows for local sign changes of the order parameter, however, resonances can occur at energies close to the Fermi level. The local density of states (LDOS...

We have successfully developed a ratiometric detection system for protein of interest using the complementary recognition pair of the tetra-aspartate peptide tag and the SNARF-appended Zn(ii)-DpaTyr probe.

We fix once and for all a positive integer n. Unless we say otherwise, Ω will be an open subset of R. We let N; P; Z; Q; R; C be the set of nonnegative integers; the set of positive integers; the ring of integers; the field of rational numbers; the field of real numbers; and the field of complex numbers, respectively. Whenever a ∈ R and 0 < r <∞ we let U(a, r) = {x ∈ R : |x− a| < r} and B(a, r)...

Three pulse photon echo peak shift spectroscopy and transient grating measurements on Zn-substituted cytochrome c, Zn-tetraphenylporphyrin, and Zn-protoporphyrin IX are reported. The effects of protein conformation, axial ligation, and solvent are investigated. Numerical simulations of the peak shift and transient grating experiments are presented. The simulations employed recently derived opti...

Eight commercially available organic Zn products and reagent-grade ZnSO4 x 7H2O (Zn Sulf) were evaluated by polarographic analysis, and solubility in .1 M K2HPO4-KH2PO4 buffer (pH 5), .2 M HCl-KCl buffer (pH 2), and deionized water. Fractions from these solubility tests were evaluated by gel filtration chromatography for structural integrity. Degree of chelation was generally positively related...
