Receptor-mediated Endocytosis01:20

Receptor-mediated Endocytosis

7.6K
Receptor-mediated endocytosis is when bulk amounts of specific molecules are imported into a cell after binding to cell surface receptors. The molecules bound to these receptors are taken into the cell through inward folding of the cell surface membrane, which is eventually pinched off into a vesicle within the cell. Structural proteins, such as clathrin, coat the budding vesicle.

One well-characterized example of receptor-mediated endocytosis is the...

Vapor Pressure

When a liquid vaporizes in a closed container, gas molecules cannot escape. As these gas phase molecules move randomly about, they will occasionally collide with the surface of the condensed phase, and in some cases, these collisions will result in the molecules re-entering the condensed phase. The change from the gas phase to the liquid is called condensation. When the rate of condensation becomes equal to the rate of vaporization, neither the amount of the liquid nor the amount of the vapor...

Nonsense-mediated mRNA Decay

11.7K
The Upf proteins that carry out nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) are found in all eukaryotic organisms, including humans. Each protein has an individual role, but they need to work in collaboration. Upf1 is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase that unwinds the RNA helix. Because Upf1 can unwind any RNA, Upf2 and Upf3 are required to help Upf1 discriminate between nonsense and normal mRNAs.
Usually, Upf3 binds to an Exon Junction Complex (EJC) at mRNA splice sites. If a ribosome fully translates the mRNA,...

The equilibrium vapor pressure of a liquid is the pressure exerted by its gaseous phase when vaporization and condensation are occurring at equal rates:

Vaporization01:18

Vaporization

37.5K
The physical form of a substance changes by changing its temperature. For example, raising the temperature of a liquid causes the liquid to vaporize (convert into vapor). The process is called vaporization—a surface phenomenon. For vaporization to occur, kinetic energy must be greater than the intermolecular forces that keep molecules bonded. The amount of energy needed to vaporize a quantity of liquid at a given pressure and a constant temperature is called the heat of vaporization. When...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Two evaporating sessile drops of the same liquid attract each other via substrate-mediated forces, not just vapor interactions. These forces, driven by thermal effects and contact angle variations, influence droplet behavior on various substrates.

Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Fluid Dynamics
  • Surface Science

Background:

  • Sessile drop behavior is crucial for capillarity and wetting phenomena.
  • Previous studies on interacting evaporating drops focused on binary liquids and vapor-mediated forces.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the interaction mechanisms between two evaporating sessile drops of the same pure liquid.
  • To identify and quantify substrate-mediated forces influencing droplet communication.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental observation of evaporating sessile drops of various perfectly wetting liquids.
  • Analysis of substrate-mediated forces including thermal Marangoni effect and evaporation-induced contact angle variations.
  • Development of a force balance model incorporating these interactions.

Main Results:

  • Identified three substrate-mediated forces: an attractive force, a weaker repelling force, and a 'cold-trap resistance' acting as drag.
  • Demonstrated droplet attraction even when drops are made of the same pure liquid.
  • Quantified the influence of thermal effects and contact angle changes on droplet interaction.

Conclusions:

  • Substrate-mediated thermal effects play a significant role in the self-organization of evaporating sessile drops.
  • The findings extend understanding beyond vapor-mediated interactions, opening new research avenues.
  • Thermal effects can be harnessed to control the behavior of liquid entities on substrates.
