This video describes the nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy technique to study protein-protein interactions between 15N-labeled wild-type and mutant envoplakin proteins and the unlabeled vimentin protein. The successful interaction between wild-type envoplakin and vimentin leads to extensive line broadening and peak disappearance in the NMR spectra, whereas the absence of an interaction between the mutated envoplakin and vimentin results in well-resolved peaks in the NMR spectra.

We present a combination of Cryo-electron microscopy, lipid nanotechnology, and structure analysis applied to resolve the membrane-bound structure of two highly homologous FVIII forms: human and porcine. The methodology developed in our laboratory to helically organize the two functional recombinant FVIII forms on negatively charged lipid nanotubes (LNT) is described.

Here, we present a protocol to prepare and visualize secondary structures (e.g., fibers, toroidal architectures, and nano-spheres) derived from helical polycarbodiimides. The morphology characterized by both atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was shown to depend on molecular structure, concentration, and the solvent of choice.

The Lewis structure of a nitrite anion (NO2−) may actually be drawn in two different ways, distinguished by the locations of the N-O and N=O bonds. If nitrite ions do indeed contain a single and a double bond, the two bond lengths are expected to be different. A double bond between two atoms is shorter (and stronger) than a single bond between the same two atoms. However, experiments show that both N–O bonds in NO2− have the same strength and length, and are identical in all other...

Resonance shifts when the effective capacitance changes, because the helix and cavity form a distributed inductance-capacitance energy-storage system. A movable tuning element changes the electric-field environment, while altering helix geometry changes the resonator’s electrical characteristics. These adjustments change the balance between stored magnetic and electric energy, allowing the operating point to align with a selected radio-frequency condition.
Frequency alone is not the only tuning target. The impedance response must also be brought into a useful relationship with the circuit. Adjusting the resonator changes how energy transfers and how selectively the circuit responds near resonance. This matters in matching networks and coupled RF systems, where a frequency shift without controlled impedance behavior may reduce transfer efficiency or disturb voltage and current performance.
Self-capacitance, the surrounding cavity’s electric-field contribution, and helix geometry all influence the tuning result. Changing the geometry can alter both the resonator’s inductive behavior and its effective capacitance, while the cavity contributes to electric energy storage. Because these features act together, tuning cannot be treated as an isolated adjustment to only one component of the resonator.
A practical sequence begins by identifying the target radio-frequency condition, then adjusting a tuning element or an appropriate aspect of the helix geometry. The resonant frequency and impedance response are evaluated after each adjustment, and the process continues until the operating point and circuit response are suitable. This procedure supports controlled energy transfer and stable operation in the intended RF circuit.
Engineers apply the technique in narrowband filters, impedance-matching networks, oscillators, and high-frequency measurement systems. In filters, tuning supports selective response near the desired frequency. In matching networks and oscillators, it helps establish a useful impedance and resonant condition. Measurement systems benefit when resonance remains controlled enough to support consistent high-frequency operation.
Proper adjustment can improve energy transfer while supporting the desired voltage or current performance at resonance. It also helps maintain controlled coupling between the resonator and the surrounding RF circuit. These outcomes depend on aligning the resonant frequency with the target condition and managing the impedance response, which is especially important where stable resonance and selective operation are required.
