Enzyme-DNA chimeras: Construction, allostery, applications

CY Tseng, Y Wang, G Zocchi - Methods in enzymology, 2021 - Elsevier
We describe the operational principle, synthesis, and applications of the enzyme-DNA
chimeras. These are supramolecular constructions where a DNA spring is coupled to an …

Opportunities for materials science: From molecules to neural networks

G Zocchi - MRS Bulletin, 2019 - cambridge.org
This article addresses why biomaterials are a growing part of materials science. We
consider two areas at two different scales. At the nanometer scale, enzymes are …

Thermoelectric effects at a Germanium-electrolyte interface: measuring 100 nK temperature oscillations at room temperature

Y Wong, G Zocchi - arXiv preprint arXiv:2102.10489, 2021 - arxiv.org
We describe measurements of 100 nK temperature oscillations at room temperature, driven
at the complex interface between p-doped Germanium, a nm size metal layer, and an …

Exploring the Dynamics of Biological Macromolecules at Angstrom Scale

C Foss - 2021 - digitalcommons.lmu.edu
This thesis studied the Guanylate Kinase (GK) enzyme, which catalyzes the reaction of ATP
into ADP, using nano-rheological techniques. A unique experimental setup was created in …
