Structural Characterization of the C-terminus of the Cochlear Motor Protein Prestin: Intrinsic Disorder Linked to Voltage Sensor Function
… cochlea have motile properties that support this function. The motor protein called prestin resides in the lateral wall of the OHCs. Prestin undergoes voltage-dependent conformational changes, which correlates to the movement of charge through the membrane or non-linear capacitance (NLC). This …

A Novel Biostable 3D Porous Collagen Scaffold for Implantable Biosensor
… Despite of development of implantable glucose sensors in long periods, none of the biosensors are capable of continuously monitoring glucose levels during long-term implantation reliably. Progressive loss of sensor function occurs due in part to biofouling and to the consequences of a foreign …

Molecular Determinants of Synaptic Vesicle Exocytosis and Endocytosis Coupling
… is essential for maintaining normal synaptic function. The reuse of vesicles maintains the size of the presynaptic terminal and ensures the availability of synaptic vesicles for subsequent exocytosis. The coupling of exocytosis and endocytosis allows for continued rapid synaptic transmission; …

Fluorescence photophysics, characterisation and application of labelled glucose/galactose binding protein
… of diabetes mellitus. One promising glucose sensor is bacterially-derived glucose binding protein (GBP). In this project, the modified triple mutant H152C/A213R/L238S-GBP (mGBP) was investigated for viability as a functioning glucose sensor. Labelling the protein with the …

Interfacial Electrochemistry and Surface Characterization: Hydrogen Terminated Silicon, Electrolessly Deposited Palladium & Platinum on Pyrolyzed Photoresist Films and Electrodeposited Copper on Iridium
… as the sensing electrode for a potentiometric sensor for ultra-trace amounts of metal contaminants. Previous studies show the use of this potentiometric electrode sensor in hydrofluoric acid solution. This work is able to shows sensor function in ultra-pure water media without the need for …

A multiple optical tracking based approach for enhancing hand-based interaction in virtual reality simulations
… investigated approaches such as using multiple sensors. Research has shown multi-sensor-based approaches to be effective in improving recognition accuracy. However, such approaches typically use statically positioned sensors, which introduce body occlusion issues that make tracking hands …
