  • dielectric and calorimetric studies of Hydrated purple membrane
    Biophysical Journal, 2005
    Co-Authors: Peter Berntsen, Rikard Bergman, Helen Jansson, Martin Weik, Jan Swenson
    Abstract:

    Purple membranes (PM) from halobacteria were Hydrated to ∼0.4 and ∼0.2 g H2O/g of PM and studied by dielectric spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry between 120 and 300 K. The dielectric process, attributed to a local (β) relaxation of the confined supercooled water, shows an Arrhenius temperature behavior at low temperatures. In the case of the most Hydrated PM a small deviation from the Arrhenius behavior occurs at 190–200 K together with a pronounced endothermic process and an increased activation energy. The observed crossover is accompanied by a reduction of the interlayer spacing due to the partial loss of the intermembrane water. All these effects at ∼200 K are consistent with a scenario where the local relaxation process merges with a nonobservable α-relaxation of the interlayer water, giving rise to a more liquid-like behavior of the interfacial water. For the less Hydrated Sample the effects are less pronounced and shift to a slightly higher temperature.

  • image restoration for biological objects using external tem control and electronic image recording
    Ultramicroscopy, 1992
    Co-Authors: Dieter Typke, Reiner Hegerl, J Kleinz
    Abstract:

    Abstract Image restoration of low-contrast biological specimens resulting in an extended transfer range in the Fourier domain can be obtained from a small number of images of the same object area, recorded at defocus values ranging from small to rather strong underfocus (or under- and overfocus). External TEM control and electronic image recording greatly facilitate the application of this method. A carbon-film specimen, and proteasome particles embedded in vitreous ice, have been used as test objects. It was found that defocusing alters the magnification of the images. Correction for the magnification changes and for sign reversals of the phase contrast transfer function significantly improves the cross-correlation peak and thus the alignment of the images. After these corrections the correlation peak was recognizable even in cross-correlation functions between close-to-focus and stronger-defocused images of the ece-series. In the phase part of the restored image of the frozen-Hydrated Sample, details become visible which cannot be recognized in any of the original images. Some problems and further developments are discussed.
