I am very sad after learning that Jochen Guck passed away. We have lost a giant. Jochen, I will really miss you.

We've got some nice data today... 😊 The semicoated cantilevers just travelled about 1500km

Beautiful work led by @yogiboi.bsky.social Together with our previous measurements on streptavidin/biotin, our new approach allowed us to cover 15 decades in loading rate ! Yes, 15 decades! 🤯🤓

The curious case of streptavidin–biotin: a non-covalent bond.
Single Molecule Force Spectroscopy: “SA-b bond breaks in 1s at equilibrium”
SA-b at equilibrium: “Not really, More like 1-10 Days.”

Near equilibrium unbinding of streptavidin/biotin using single molecule acoustic force spectroscopy

The dissociation of the streptavidin-biotin (SA-b) bond has been widely characterized using bulk and single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) techniques. However, the dissociation rates ( k off) from...
