In-cell distance determination by EPR reveals essential structural information about biomacromolecules under native conditions. For the first time, the pulsed EPR technique RIDME (relaxation induced dipolar modulation enhancement) was utilized for distance measurements inside cells. It provides a five-times improved sensitivity as compared to the previously used double electron-electron resonance approach.

New technique for in-cell distance determination

Researchers from the University of Konstanz, Bielefeld University and ETH Zurich demonstrate for the first time that the pulsed EPR technique RIDME (relaxation-induced dipolar modulation enhancement) can be used for in-cell distance determination in biomacromolecules. Applied within the cell, RIDME improves significantly on conventional double electron–electron resonance (DEER) measurements.

Neue Bewerbungsrunde des Projekts SCHULWÄRTS

Noch bis zum *28.04.2019* können sich Lehramtsstudierende und angehende Lehrkräfte aller Fächerkombinationen und Schulformen für ein Kurzpraktikum an einer vom Goethe-Institut betreuten Schule im Ausland bewerben.

The figure shows a group of eight termites, four soldiers and four workers, exploring a circular arena. The tracks can later be used to calculate group level summary statistics such as polarisation and rotation. Code for this is also available on the corresponding example notebook.

New tracking tool for animal movement and behaviour

Researchers from the University of Konstanz, the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology and the University of Neuchâtel develop a new image-based automated tracking tool for the advanced study of animal movement and behaviour. Tracktor is open access, open source and capable of tracking unmarked organisms in noisy environments.
