Happy Swiss National Day! πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­ with phenomenal fireworks above the Rhine in Basel.

A day to be thankful for the unearned privilege of freedom, safety, welfare, and the stable democracy. 🀝🀝🀝

#smFRET for the win! What can be more convincing than seeing proteins in action. (Here through DNA-labelling.)

ABEL-FRET bridges the timescale gap in single-molecule measurements of the structural dynamics in the A2A adenosine receptor The functional complexity of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) arises from their structural dynamics, which span timescales from nanoseconds to minutes.

#smFRET-lovers! Imagine, you got nice burst data with freely diffusing molecules πŸ™ŒπŸ”¬

BUT
1) Immobilization does not work🧲🀬
2) Transitions are longer than diffusion time, but shorter than frametime of your TIRF⏱️

Solution: try ABEL-trap!πŸ’•

Good morning, with impressions from our Dept white board:

ex-cell-ent vibes, I'd say...: πŸ™ƒπŸ˜…

As a man who moves around this host-city every day and lives close to the stadium, I highly recommend handing over this entire sport to women. Then it's back to the love of the game and it's fun to watch

No regular goal over 120min. Just a successful penalty (during the game). Despite one more player on the pitch... πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
I had bet on France for the win...

Full passion, incredible goals & games, NO violence.

What a special experience #EURO2025 #FRAGER:
#Basel full of French & German ⚽ fans both claiming a 'home game' at the border triangle... All super passionate, yet a friendly atmosphere!πŸ‘

Also, well deserved AK Berger: player of the match!
110min numerical superiority by πŸ‡«πŸ‡· – how can they STILL lose?
