Medicine
This technique is a medical application of NMR used to image tissues in the body.
MRI
This GPCR found in the retina is light-sensitive and enables vision.
Rhodopsin
This computer simulation method studies the evolution of physical movement of interacting species in a system over time.
Molecular Dynamics
This dye is used in gram staining to identify Gram-positive bacteria.
Crystal violet
This scientist is commonly associated with fermentation and microbes, but also discovered molecular asymmetry.
Louis Pasteur
This field looks at structural changes in histones over multiple generations to track non-genetic, heritable characteristics in disease.
Epigenetics
These membrane proteins are not permanently attached, but are temporarily attached to the membrane and can dissociate.
Peripheral membrane proteins
This microscopy method uses the displacement of a beam to determine chemical or mechanical properties of a sample.
Atomic Force Microscopy
This mathematical tool can decompose a function into a sum of sinusoidal base functions, and is often used in structural biology when solving 3D structures.
Fourier transform
This scientist coined the term “fluorescence” and is credited with discovering UV-induced fluorescence.
George G. Stokes
Cell-cell adhesion of neoplastic cells has been shown to have a strong impact in the progression of this class of human disease.
Cancer
This redox-active group of organic compounds are present in the electron transport chain, can carry two electrons, and have intrinsic fluorescence.
Flavins
This method uses the laws of mass and gravitation to gain thermodynamic and physical parameters about molecules in solution.
Analytical Ultracentrifugation
This technique improves contrast of images by collecting only light scattered by the sample, sacrificing overall intensity.
Dark Field
This scientist invented mobile x-ray vehicles to aid the wounded during World War I.
Marie Curie
A single amino acid substitution in this protein causes a conformational change that leads to sickle cell anemia.
Hemoglobin
This ATP-gated chloride channel leads to cystic fibrosis if mutated.
CFTR
This technique compares the temperature of a reference and sample cell to determine binding affinities, enthalpy changes, and stoichiometry of molecules in solution.
Isothermal Titration Calorimetry
The full name of this technique: TEM
Transmission Electron Microscopy
This scientist discovered the enzyme telomerase and answered fundamental questions about chromosomes.
Elizabeth Blackburn
This technique based on interferometry uses low-coherence light to gain 2D and 3D images of tissue, at submicrometer resolution.
Optical coherence tomography
This model describes the lipid membrane as a thin layer of viscous fluid surrounded by a less viscous bulk liquid.
Saffman–Delbrück
This analyzer is used in mass spectrometry to accelerate ions through an electric field and determines how long they take to reach the detector.
Time-of-flight
DING DING DING THIS IS THE IMAGE QUESTION
This scientist developed NMR techniques for determining the 3D structure of biological macromolecules.
