Abstract:
The charge transport between peptide molecules is one of the crucial factors in sustaining various biochemical processes within biological organisms. Understanding the charge transport processes between peptide molecules is of great significance for further investigating life reaction processes. Through single-molecule electronic characterization techniques, we have reviewed the effects of peptide molecular stuctures and external experimental factors on charge transport. Additionally, we have summarized the latest research on supramolecular interactions between peptide chains, particularly focusing on the even-odd effect. This not only enhances our understanding of the charge transport mechanisms between peptide molecules but also lays a solid theoretical foundation for the widespread application of peptide molecules in fields such as biological devices.

Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...
