Force generation in dividing E. coli cells: A handles-on approach using optical tweezers Verhoeven, G.S.

When all laser power is directed into a single beam path to form a single trap using a 1.2 NA water objective, the typical trap stiffness for a 1.87 μm PS particle was around 50

The error bars indicate the standard error of the mean, and therefore do not include the possible underestimation of the unbinding forces (due to axial displacement of the bead)

Second, we have shown that using this protein, it is possible to attach optically trapped beads to the cell surface of a living bacterium, and we have estimated that a single tether

In addition, experiments are described which demonstrate that OmpA with the SA-1 epitope present can insert in the outer membrane with unaltered efficiency when its cell wall

Verder worden experimenten beschreven waarin wordt aangetoond dat het OmpA eiwit met een SA-1 epitoop even goed in het buitenste celmembraan inserteert wanneer het OmpA

Verder wil ik graag mijn promotor Marileen en co-promotor Tanneke bedanken voor het in mij gestelde vertrouwen gedurende mijn promotie. Marileen, je was er altijd om rust te

He obtained a Master’s degree in Physics in 2001, after an internship in the group ‘Interface Physics’ of Prof.dr. In this group he worked on the development of the Reactor STM,
