چکیده
can be controlled precisely. In the experiment reported, they designed this distance to be 23 nm, which they describe as “a compromise of strong fluorescence enhancement and sufficient space for accommodation of a biomolecular assay.” In the ‘hotspot’ between the two particles, Acuna and colleagues introduced a docking site for molecules of interest. At this site, they bound the dye ATTO647N for a range of fluorescence experiments including single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) studies. They could confirm that the nanoparticles enhance the fluorescence signals more than 100-fold, making single-molecule studies possible at micromolar concentrations, corresponding to typical biological samples. They could also follow the time course of binding and unbinding of the dye-carrying DNA strand.

متن کاملActive Perception and Perceiving Action: the Shared Circuits Hypothesis 1
Recently research on imitation and its role in social cognition has been flourishing across various disciplines. After briefly reviewing these developments under the headings of behavior, subpersonal mechanisms, and functions of imitation, I advance the shared circuits hypothesis. This hypothesis about subpersonal functional architecture describes a unified framework for the mechanisms that ena...

is that patients build up cognitive representations of the gestures. Their inaccuracy shows up independently from the motor actions used for expressing their content. Brass and Heyes note that the old literature on neurological patients with apraxia is usually neglected but themselves neglect both old and new studies on apraxia. These studies cast severe doubts on the postulated superiority of ...
