Biological motion from angstroms to microns : how cells move themselves and stuff within them around
Description |
|---|
|
Dr. Joshua Shaevitz, Miller Fellow, Dept. of Integrative Biology, UC Berkeley states that living organisms are distinct from inanimate matter in their unique ability to produce purposeful, directed movement. Dr. Shaevitz presents data from optical and force microscopy studies of the motions produced by single proteins, networks of proteins and whole cells. Using an ultra-stable optical trapping instrument capable of measuring angstrom-level translocations in three-dimensions, He comments that it has been possible to study a variety of biological systems in unprecedented detail. These fascinating systems lie at the interface between biology, chemistry and physics and their study requires the development of a new set of tools that can be readily combined with traditional techniques. |
