This manuscript describes a simple and high-throughput method for assembling water-soluble proteins with hydrophobic pigments that is based on water-in-oil emulsions. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the method in the assembly of native chlorophylls with four variants of recombinant water-soluble-chlorophyll binding proteins (WSCPs) of Brassica plants expressed in E. coli.

Heating and Cooling Curves

When a substance—isolated from its environment—is subjected to heat changes, corresponding changes in temperature and phase of the substance is observed; this is graphically represented by heating and cooling curves. For instance, the addition of heat raises the temperature of a solid; the amount of heat absorbed depends on the heat capacity of the solid (q = mcsolidΔT). According to thermochemistry, the relation between the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance, q, and its...

The analytical ultracentrifuge (AUC) sample cell holds sample and reference buffer and during experiments and is exposed to high vacuum and rotor speeds up to 60,000 rpm. This video will demonstrate the rigorous attention to detail necessary for assembly, loading and alignment of this very important component of an AUC experiment.

Self-Assembly of Hybrid Lipid Membranes Doped with Hydrophobic Organic Molecules at the Water/Air Interface

We report a protocol for producing a hybrid lipid membrane at the water/air interface by doping the lipid bilayer with copper (II) 2,9,16,23-tetra-tert-butyl-29H,31H-phthalocyanine (CuPc) molecules. The resulting hybrid lipid membrane has a lipid/CuPc/lipid sandwich structure. This protocol can also be applied to the formation of other functional nanomaterials.
FAQs
Heat moves from a warmer instrument, sample environment, or reaction area into the water flowing through a jacket, coil, tubing, or cooling block. The circulating water carries that heat away before returning to a reservoir, where it may be cooled again. This continuous exchange helps reduce overheating and supports more consistent experimental temperatures.
The pump drives water through the connected cooling pathway, allowing heat to be collected at the equipment or sample interface and transported away. Tubing, jackets, coils, and cooling blocks provide the surfaces where this exchange occurs. Because the water is recirculated or returned to a cooled reservoir, the assembly can continue removing heat during an experiment.
Temperature fluctuations can affect sample integrity, reaction environments, instrument operation, and measurement accuracy. By limiting those changes, cooling support helps biological workflows proceed under more consistent conditions. This is particularly relevant when experiments use temperature-sensitive biological materials or equipment whose performance can be influenced by excess heat.
A basic setup links a pump, water reservoir, and cooling pathway using tubing. The pathway may include a jacket, coil, or cooling block positioned to remove heat from the relevant equipment, sample area, or reaction environment. Water is then circulated through these components and either returned to the reservoir for recooling or managed as a recirculating coolant.
Researchers may apply water cooling during cell and molecular biology workflows, incubations, and imaging systems when heat could compromise samples or measurements. The assembly can also support other biological experiments requiring controlled reaction environments. Its value depends on maintaining conditions that protect temperature-sensitive materials and help instruments operate without excessive thermal buildup.
A water-cooling assembly can help maintain steadier operating conditions, reduce overheating, and protect temperature-sensitive biological materials. More stable thermal conditions may also improve the reliability of measurements and instrument performance. In imaging, incubation, and reaction-based workflows, this support helps reduce temperature-related variation that could otherwise affect experimental consistency.
