The Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PA01 produces the blue/green phenazine pigment pyocyanin in response to 2-alkyl-4-quinolone (AQ) signal molecules (foreground). In contrast, a mutant unable to synthesize AQs is defective in pyocyanin production (background).
DOI: 10.1039/B803796P
Depiction of non-coding RNA transcripts emanating from immunoglobulin alleles before V(D)J recombination - this intergenic transcription is believed to contribute to opening up the chromatin in these multigene loci. The red signal is a control non-coding transcript, a so called 'supergene' that is continuously transcribed, while the green signals represent V region antisense intergenic transcripts.

Schematic of polypeptide-DNA complexes entering cells where they are reduced to liberate the DNA payload. AFM of polypeptide-DNA complexes before (left-hand side) and after (right-hand side) reduction are shown below.
DOI: 10.1039/B809341P
Chemical synthesis of membrane (-associated) proteins can be achieved by native chemical ligation of peptide segments. The assembled proteins integrate into lipid bilayers where electrophysiological and fluorescence analysis can take place.

Bifunctional Q1 molecules evade cytochrome P450 metabolism by forming protective complexes with FK506-binding protein.
DOI: 10.1039/B807535M
An epifluorescent (ex 590 nm) image of the marine sponge Dysidea herbacea overlaid with MALDI-TOF MS results showing the prescence and localization of two different metabolite ions, depicted in blue and green.
DOI: 10.1039/B807534B
A BLASTatlas visualisation comparing bacterial genomes to a reference chromosome.
DOI: 10.1039/B717118H
A miniaturized PAGE device is shown which performs protein analysis in approximately 10 minutes.
DOI: 10.1039/B716850K
Depiction of metabolome changes in histidine-starved Escherichia coli by CE-TOFMS.
DOI: 10.1039/B800318C
Potential roles of abundant extracellular chaperones in the control of amyloid formation and toxicity.
