How to build a low-cost AFM nanoscope out of LEGO + Arduino board. An AFM made from LEGO and electronics (credit: Alice Pyne, London Centre for Nanotechnology) The world’s first low-cost atomic force microscope (AFM) has been developed in Beijing by a group of PhD students from University College London (UCL), Tsinghua University, and Peking University — using LEGO.

How to build a low-cost AFM nanoscope out of LEGO + Arduino board

LEGO2NANO brought together students, experienced makers and scientists to take on the challenge of building a cheap and effective AFM, a device able to probe objects only a nanometer in size — far smaller than anything an optical microscope can observe. The design brief for the student teams: build a functional nanoscope, using only LEGO, Arduino microcontrollers, 3D-printed parts, and consumer electronics. It took just five days for the student team to demonstrate the scanning functionality of their AFM, earning them the award for Best Technical Design.

Molecular Systems Biology. Abstract Side effect similarities of drugs have recently been employed to predict new drug targets, and networks of side effects and targets have been used to better understand the mechanism of action of drugs.

Molecular Systems Biology

Here, we report a large‐scale analysis to systematically predict and characterize proteins that cause drug side effects. We integrated phenotypic data obtained during clinical trials with known drug–target relations to identify overrepresented protein–side effect combinations. Using independent data, we confirm that most of these overrepresentations point to proteins which, when perturbed, cause side effects. Of 1428 side effects studied, 732 were predicted to be predominantly caused by individual proteins, at least 137 of them backed by existing pharmacological or phenotypic data. Introduction Results.

Yeast Lab: the sound of microbes & magnetic fleas

Simon, an expert in microbiological luminescence, had very kindly set up a number of cultures: a conical jar of yeast and two petri dishes of other luminescent microbe colonies. The cultures are kept in a series of incubator rooms set to different temperatures in order to aid the growth of microbes. The room set to human body temperature is breathtakingly warm; I had no idea that I was this hot. This initial visit to the lab was a kind of acoustic reconnaissance: lets listen to what is there to hear.

Simon showed me the various machines used to stir and agitate the liquid cultures. We spent hours (and I do mean hours) trying different jars, different fleas, different microphones, and different spinners. In one of the incubator rooms I placed contact microphones against the sides of a conical jar containing yeast. Like this: Like Loading... Open Space for Biology and Biotechnologies.
