AbstractClick to copy section linkSection link copied!Active colloids with the ability to self-propel and collectively organize are emerging as indispensable elements in microrobotics and soft matter physics. For chemically powered colloids, their activity is often induced by gradients of chemical species in the particle’s vicinity. The direct manipulation of these gradients, however, presents a considerable challenge, thereby limiting the extent to which active colloids can be controlled.

AbstractIron-sulfur (Fe-S) proteins play vital roles in multiple cellular processes, including mediating redox balance as well as DNA replication and repair. Given the role of Fe-S cofactors in genome maintenance, mutations in such metalloproteins could be associated with cancer. Nevertheless, only a few cancer-associated Fe-S proteins have been identified. In vitro, Fe-S cluster is susceptible to degradation in oxic environment.
