Novel Programmable Shape Memory Polystyrene Film: A Thermally Induced Beam-power Splitter.

abstract：:Membrane proteins are key elements in cell-mediated processes. In particular, G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have attracted increasing interest since they affect cellular signaling. Furthermore, mutations in GPCRs can cause acquired and inheritable diseases. Up to date, there still exist a number of GPCRs that ha...
