Unimolecular FRET sensors: Simple linker designs and properties
Publication date: Available online 3 November 2018Source: Nano Communication NetworksAuthor(s): Shourjya Sanyal, David F. Coker, Donal MacKernanAbstractProtein activation and deactivation is central to a variety of biological mechanisms, including cellular signaling and transport. Unimolecular fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET) probes are a class of fusion protein sensors that allow biologists to visualize using an optical microscope whether specific proteins are activated due to the presence nearby of small drug-like signaling molecules, ligands or analytes. Often such probes comprise a donor fluorescent protein...

Computational fidelity in reversible quantum-dot cellular automata channel routing under thermal randomness
Publication date: Available online 7 September 2018Source: Nano Communication NetworksAuthor(s): Jadav Chandra Das, Debashis DeAbstractThe computational fidelity is the measure, which imposes the knowledge about how far any noisy computational channel resembles the accurate output for the distribution of the same input. The logical operations and signalpropagation through semiconductor quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) having different cell’s polarization are affected with environmental noise such as thermal randomness. This paper outlines the computational fidelity in reversible QCA channel routing for noiseless, as w...
