These algorithms can be used with existing techniques, such as cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), and emerging approaches exploiting the extreme brightness of X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFELs).

At the nanoscopic level force is a ubiquitous perturbation and many proteins have evolved to respond to mechanical stimuli. These proteins are generally segregated in multiple domains and play key roles in processes such as cellular mechano-transduction and tissue elasticity. The lab will use a new single molecule force spectroscopy technique based on magnetic tweezers to study the response of proteins to mechanical perturbations. This technique allows tethering of a single protein for more than a day and at forces similar to those encountered in vivo. Using this technique we aim to produce a detailed synthesis of the chemical and physical mechanisms that regulate proteins operating under mechanical force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For more information:<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/popalab.uwm.edu\"><strong>Popa&#8217;s Research Website<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-card uwm-p-card--gold uwm-u-mb-40\"><div class=\"uwm-p-card--body\"><div class=\"uwm-p-card--content\"><div class=\"facetwp-template\"><div id=\"uwmpeople-container\" class=\"uwmpeople-grid\"><div id=\"uwmpeople-grid\" class=\"uwm-l-grid uwm-l-grid--1 uwm-u-mb-60\" aria-hidden=\"false\"><div class=\"uwmpeople-person uwm-l-grid uwm-u-mb-40\" data-catlist=\"97, 87\"><div class=\"people-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/physics\/about\/directory\/raicu-valerica\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uwm.edu\/ls-people\/file\/vraicu.webp?ver=\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" width=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"people-info\"><div class=\"people-name\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/physics\/about\/directory\/raicu-valerica\/\">Valerica Raicu<\/a><\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-u-my-0\"><ul class=\"people-title-dept uwm-c-list--cleanlist\"><li><strong>Professor<\/strong>, <em>Physics<\/em><\/li><\/ul><\/div><ul class=\"people-contact uwm-c-list--cleanlist\"><li class=\"people-email\"><a href=\"mailto:vraicu@uwm.edu\">vraicu@uwm.edu<\/a><\/li><li class=\"people-phone\"><a href=\"tel:4142294969\">414-229-4969<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Valeric\u0103 Raicu<\/strong> is interested in experimental and theoretical aspects of the structure&nbsp;and dynamics of macromolecular and cellular systems in vivo.

This study involves novel approaches to laser-scanning fluorescence microscopy with spectral and temporal resolution, which is used in conjunction with a process of non-radiative energy transfer between fluorescent molecules, called F\u00f6rster (or fluorescence) resonance&nbsp;energy transfer (FRET). The second major research&nbsp;theme in&nbsp;Prof. Raicu&#8217;s lab is the use of dielectric (or impedance) spectroscopy to&nbsp;probe the response to radiofrequency electrical fields of a material&#8217;s electrical polarization in order to determine its physical and structural characteristics at the microscopic level. This method is particularly suitable for characterization of biological cells individually dispersed in suspension or as part of supracellular associations, such as tissues and organs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For more information:<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.uwm.edu\/raicu-research-group\/\"><strong>Raicu&#8217;s Research Website<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-card uwm-p-card--gold uwm-u-mb-40\"><div class=\"uwm-p-card--body\"><div class=\"uwm-p-card--content\"><div class=\"facetwp-template\"><div id=\"uwmpeople-container\" class=\"uwmpeople-grid\"><div id=\"uwmpeople-grid\" class=\"uwm-l-grid uwm-l-grid--1 uwm-u-mb-60\" aria-hidden=\"false\"><div class=\"uwmpeople-person uwm-l-grid uwm-u-mb-40\" data-catlist=\"97, 87\"><div class=\"people-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/physics\/about\/directory\/schmidt-marius\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uwm.edu\/ls-people\/file\/smarius.webp?ver=\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" width=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"people-info\"><div class=\"people-name\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/physics\/about\/directory\/schmidt-marius\/\">Marius Schmidt<\/a><\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-u-my-0\"><ul class=\"people-title-dept uwm-c-list--cleanlist\"><li><strong>Professor<\/strong>, <em>Physics<\/em><\/li><\/ul><\/div><ul class=\"people-contact uwm-c-list--cleanlist\"><li class=\"people-email\"><a href=\"mailto:smarius@uwm.edu\">smarius@uwm.edu<\/a><\/li><li class=\"people-phone\"><a href=\"tel:4142294338\">(414) 229-4338<\/a><\/li><li class=\"people-location\">KEN 3087<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Marius Schmidt\u2019s<\/strong> research focuses on a unique method that unifies atomic structure with chemical kinetics: ultra-rapid, time-resolved X-ray structure analysis of proteins.

X-ray data collected there are four dimensional, with space and time as variables. With these data, chemical reactions can be observed directly in the protein crystals with a time-resolution of 100 pico-seconds and on the atomic length scale. The aim is to completely understand the catalyzed reaction including the atomic structures of the reaction intermediates and the corresponding kinetic mechanism. To analyze the large body of time-resolved X-ray data sophisticated and user-friendly software is required that is also developed by Professor Schmidt\u2019s research group.
