S100 proteins were first discovered in 1965 by Moore as a major protein fraction (0.6% of total soluble protein) isolated from bovine brain (Moore 1965). The protein was given the name S100 due to its high solubility in saturated ammonium sulfate. Later experiments showed the S100 protein fraction constituted two different dimeric species comprised of two b protomers (S100B) or an a, b heterodi...

S100P protein consists of 95 amino acids with a molecular weight of 10.4 kDa. S100P is a Ca binding protein that belongs to S100 family ("Soluble in 100% saturated solution with ammonium sulfate") which was first isolated from human placenta and is therefore designated as "P". S100 family includes at least 26 members, which are thought to be expressed only in vertebrates and are present in a ti...

Thermal lattice expansion in epitaxial SrTiO3(100) grown on Si(100) by molecular beam epitaxy was examined by in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) at temperatures ranging from 25 °C to 1000 °C. The SrTiO3 layer thickness (~400 Å) was determined a priori by ex situ X-ray reflectivity (XRR). In addition, the SrTiO3(100) film was further characterized before and after thermal treatment by Rutherford ba...

Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) has been used to grow epitaxially oriented thin films of Cu and Pt on (100)-oriented substrates of both SrTiO3 and LaAlO3. The resulting films have been characterized for their crystalline orientations using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and for their surface morphologies using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The diffraction results illustrated that purely epitaxial Cu(10...
