Abstract
Combining datasets with a model of the underlying physics prior to mapping of tissue provides a novel approach improving the estimation of parameters. We demonstrate this approach by merging near infrared diffuse optical signal data with diffusion NMR data to inform a model describing the microstructure of a sample. The study is conducted on a homogeneous emulsion of oil in a dispersion medium of water and proteins. The use of a protein based background, rich in collagen, introduces a similarity to real tissues compared to other models such as intralipids. The sample is investigated with the two modalities separately. Then, the two datasets are used to inform a combined model, and to estimate the size of the microstructural elements and the volume fraction. The combined model fits the microstructural properties by minimizing the difference between experimental and modelled data. The experimental results are validated with confocal laser scanning microscopy. The final results demonstrate that the combined model provides improved estimates of microstructural parameters compared to either individual model alone.

Characterization of the ground state dynamics of proteorhodopsin by NMR and optical spectroscopies
Abstract We characterized the dynamics of proteorhodopsin (PR), solubilized in diC7PC, a detergent micelle, by liquid-state NMR spectroscopy at T = 323 K. Insights into the dynamics of PR at different time scales could be obtained and dynamic hot spots could be identified at distinct, functionally relevant regions of the protein, including the BC loop, the EF loop, the N-terminal part of helix F and the C-terminal part of helix G. We further characterize the dependence of the photocycle...

Modular proteins contain individual domains that are often connected by flexible, unstructured linkers. Using a model system based on the GB1 domain, we constructed tandem repeat proteins and investigated the rotational diffusion and long-range angular ordering behavior of individual domains by measuring...
