Lose control, gain influence - Concepts for Metacontrol
The ideas explored here are based on questioning some common assumptions in the usual conceptual models of hybrid (NIME-style) instrument design, and thinking and playing through the implications of these alternate strategies in theory and implementation. They include: varying the mappings between controller input and changing them on the fly in performance, e.g. by gradually entangling or dise...
متن کاملVisualizing Amine Groups Tethered to a Glass Surface
This study determined the viability of a new technique for visualizing micron (or smaller) sized areas of amines tethered to a glass substrate. The experiment utilized a methodology that requires the use of amine functionalization, plasma cleaning, and an elastomeric mold to pattern amines on a glass surface. Electro-less copper metallization was used to verify that the patterned amine region w...
متن کاملHeads you gain, tails you lose.
THE FIELD OF TRANSPORT PHYSIOLOGY was fundamentally changed by the discovery of transport proteins that are specific for small neutral molecules such as urea, water, ammonia, and CO2. The identification of first urea transporters (12), then aquaporins or water channels (1), and most recently ammonia transporters (8) (that may also facilitate the movement of CO2), challenged the long-held view t...
متن کاملEntropy gain due to water release upon ligand binding
Experimental thermodynamic data of the ligand-receptor association showed that the entropy changes upon binding are positive and large enough to be important driving forces of the binding process for a considerable number of ligand-receptor complexes [1]. The expected source behind such an entropy increase is the release of the water molecules from the binding pocket and from around the ligand ...
متن کاملSurface-tethered protein switchesw
Biological sensor platforms usually combine a recognition element (e.g. antibody, recombinant protein/peptide, or oligonucleotide/oligonucleoside) that binds a target molecule (e.g. protein, DNA fragment, or whole cell) with a transduction/ output scheme that provides a readable signal. A class of proteins called protein switches represent a unique platform for biosensors since they combine bot...
