Single Particle Orientation and Rotational Tracking (SPORT) in biophysical studies.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The single particle orientation and rotational tracking (SPORT) techniques have seen rapid development in the past 5 years. Recent technical advances have greatly expanded the applicability of SPORT in biophysical studies. In this feature article, we survey the current development of SPORT and discuss its potential applications in biophysics, including cellular membrane processes and intracellular transport.

Multishell Au/Ag/SiO2 nanorods with tunable optical properties as single particle orientation and rotational tracking probes.
Three-layer core-shell plasmonic nanorods (Au/Ag/SiO2-NRs), consisting of a gold nanorod core, a thin silver shell, and a thin silica layer, were synthesized and used as optical imaging probes under a differential interference contrast microscope for single particle orientation and rotational tracking. The localized surface plasmon resonance modes were enhanced upon the addition of the silver s...
متن کاملPhysical explanation of coupled cell-cell rotational behavior and interfacial morphology: a particle dynamics model.
Previous studies have reported persistent rotational behavior between adherent cell-cell pairs cultured on micropatterned substrates, and this rotation is often accompanied by a sigmoidal deflection of the cell-cell interface. Interestingly, the cell-cell rotation runs in the opposite reference frame from what could be expected of single cell locomotion. Specifically, the rotation of the cell p...
متن کاملLipid membrane-assisted condensation and assembly of amphiphilic Janus particles.
Amphiphilic Janus particles self-assemble into complex metastructures, but little is known about how their assembly might be modified by weak interactions with a nearby biological membrane surface. Here, we report an integrated experimental and molecular dynamics simulation study to investigate the self-assembly of amphiphilic Janus particles on a lipid membrane. We created an experimental syst...
متن کاملVisual Tracking of Athletes in Beach Volleyball Using a Single Camera
This paper aims at successful tracking of beach volleyball athletes during competition using only a single camera. Due to the wide range of possible motions and non-rigid shape changes, the tracking task becomes quite complex. We propose a novel method based on integral histograms, to use a high dimensional model for a particle filter without drastic increase in runtime. We extend integral hist...
متن کاملDynamics of gas-fluidized granular rods.
We study a quasi-two-dimensional monolayer of granular rods fluidized by a spatially and temporally homogeneous upflow of air. By tracking the position and orientation of the particles, we characterize the dynamics of the system with sufficient resolution to observe ballistic motion at the shortest time scales. Particle anisotropy gives rise to dynamical anisotropy and superdiffusive dynamics p...
