AbstractRolling adhesion is a unique process in which the adhesion events are short-lived and operate under highly non-equilibrium conditions. These characteristics pose a challenge in molecular force quantification, where in situ measurement of such forces cannot be achieved with most molecular force sensors that probe near equilibrium. In this report, we demonstrated a quantitative adhesion footprint assay combining DNA-based non-equilibrium force probes and modelling to measure the molecular force involved in fast rolling adhesion. We were able to directly profile the ensemble molecular force distribution during rolling adhesion with a dynamic range between 0 – 18 pN. Our results showed that the shear stress driving bead rolling motility directly controls the molecular tension on the probe-conjugated adhesion complex. Furthermore, the shear stress can steer the dissociation bias of components within the molecular force probe complex, favouring either DNA probe dissociation or receptor-ligand dissociation.

Abstract Dissociation of a ligand isoniazid from a protein catalase was investigated using all-atom Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. Random Acceleration MD (τ-RAMD) was used where a random artificial force applied to the ligand facilitates its dissociation. We have suggested an approach to extrapolate such obtained dissociation times to the zero-force limit that was never attempted before, thus allowing direct comparison with experimentally measured values. We have found that our calculated dissociation time was equal to 36.1 seconds with statistically significant values distributed in the interval 0.2-72.0 s, that quantitatively matches the experimental value of 50 ± 8 seconds despite the extrapolation over nine orders of magnitude in time.

Transient absorption spectroscopy is used to show that stabilization of the 3MLCT excited state in a series of Ru(ii) complexes leads to decreased population of the 3LF state, but does not reduce the efficiency of photoinduced nitrile dissociation.
