Gold Nanoparticles Detect Protein Dynamics

Researchers from Germany’s Johannes Gutenberg University (JGU) have devised a novel technique to study individual proteins. A comprehensive understanding of protein dynamics is essential to study related molecular level biological processes. Normally, proteins are fluorescent-labeled for diagnosis; however this labeling may alter the protein structure hence impacting the biological processes that need to be studied.

Researchers Use Ultrafast Camera to Record Images of Atoms Movement in a Molecule

Researchers at Kansas State University and Ohio State University have recorded the vibration of two atoms within a molecule using a superfast camera. The molecular motion was illuminated by using the energy of the electron in the molecule which is similar to a "flash bulb". The study was published in the journal Nature.
