Catalog Peptides> | For cargo release experiments, a twofold dilution of the vesicles (20% cholesterol, 80% POPC) in PBS was carried out prior injection and mem- brane perforation was performed with 2 µM melittin (GenScript). | Get A Quote |
A multitude of biological processes are enabled by complex interactions between lipid membranes and proteins. To understand such dynamic processes, it is crucial to differentiate the constituent biomolecular species and track their individual time evolution without invasive labels. Here, we present a label-free mid-infrared biosensor capable of distinguishing multiple analytes in heterogeneous biological samples with high sensitivity. Our technology leverages a multi-resonant metasurface to simultaneously enhance the different vibrational fingerprints of multiple biomolecules. By providing up to 1000-fold near-field intensity enhancement over both amide and methylene bands, our sensor resolves the interactions ... More
