Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

Intrinsically disordered proteins are a group of proteins that do not fold into specific three-dimensional structures. Their structural flexibility allows them to complement ordered proteins to perform functions that are inaccessible to rigid structures. They are more common in eukaryotes than prokaryotes and may either be exclusively intrinsically disordered or hybrid proteins, consisting of a mix of ordered and disordered regions. The absence of a rigid structure in these proteins can be...

Molecular Shapes

Molecules have characteristic shapes that are crucial for their function. The arrangement of various electron groups around the central atom dictates their molecular geometry. Electron pairs in the valence shell of a central atom will adopt an arrangement that minimizes repulsions between the electron pairs by maximizing the distance between them. The valence electrons form either bonding pairs, located primarily between bonded atoms, or lone pairs.
Two regions of electron density in a diatomic...

First Derivatives and the Shape of a Graph

First Derivatives and the Shape of a Graph

In calculus, the concept of the first derivative plays a crucial role in understanding the behavior of a function over its domain. The first derivative, denoted as f’(x), provides insight into how a function changes at any given point, much like a cyclist adjusting speed along a winding trail. By analyzing the first derivative, mathematicians can determine where a function is increasing, decreasing, or reaching critical points.The first derivative provides a precise method for classifying...

Background:

Wavefront shaping using disordered media offers advanced optical manipulation beyond conventional optics.
Current methods require extensive measurements (O(P)) to determine input-output characteristics, limiting practical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and implement a paradigm shift in wavefront shaping by designing disorder with known input-output characteristics.
To enable optical manipulation with minimal alignment steps.

Main Methods:

Designed a disorder-engineered metasurface with known a priori input-output characteristics.
Utilized the metasurface for wavefront shaping applications.
Leveraged features like large optical memory effect and wide angular scattering.

Main Results:

Demonstrated high numerical aperture (NA > 0.5) focusing.
Achieved fluorescence imaging with an estimated ~2.2x10^8 addressable points.
Showcased the metasurface's stability and tailorable angular scattering profile.

Conclusions:

The disorder-engineered metasurface simplifies wavefront shaping by providing known optical properties.
