The experimental results from Hb solutions revealed a direct correlation between protein resilience, melting temperature and average body temperature of the different species on the 0.1 ns time scale. Molecular forces appeared to be adapted to permit conformational fluctuations with a root mean square displacement close to 1.2 {\AA} at the corresponding average body temperature of the endotherms. Strong forces within crocodile Hb maintain the amplitudes of motion within a narrow limit over the entire temperature range in which the animal lives. In fully hydrated powder samples of human and chicken, Hb mean square displacements and effective force constants on the 1 ns time scale showed no differences over the whole temperature range from 10 to 300 K, in contrast to the solution case. A complementary result of the study, therefore, is that one hydration layer is not sufficient to activate all conformational fluctuations of Hb in the pico- to nanosecond time scale which might be relevant for biological function. Coarse-grained Brownian dynamics simulations permitted to explore residue-specific effects. They indicated that temperature sensing of human and chicken Hb occurs mainly at residues lining internal cavities in the β-subunits.}, language = {en} } @article{StadlerDigelEmbsetal.2009, author = {Stadler, Andreas M. and Digel, Ilya and Embs, Jan P. and Unruh, Tobias and Tehei, M. and Zaccai, G. and B{\"u}ldt, G. and Artmann, Gerhard}, title = {From powder to solution : Hydration dependence of human hemoglobin dynamics correlated to body temperature}, series = {Biophysical Journal. 96 (2009), H. 12}, journal = {Biophysical Journal. 96 (2009), H. 12}, publisher = {Cell Press}, address = {Cambridge, Mass.}, isbn = {0006-3495}, pages = {5073 -- 5081}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{StadlerEmbsDigeletal.2008, author = {Stadler, Andreas M. and Embs, Jan P. and Digel, Ilya and Artmann, Gerhard and Unruh, Tobias and B{\"u}ldt, Georg and Zaccai, Guiseppe}, title = {Cytoplasmic water and hydration layer dynamics in human red blood cells}, series = {Journal of the American Chemical Society. 50 (2008), H. 130}, journal = {Journal of the American Chemical Society. 50 (2008), H. 130}, isbn = {1520-5126}, pages = {16852 -- 16853}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @article{DigelKayserArtmann2008, author = {Digel, Ilya and Kayser, Peter and Artmann, Gerhard}, title = {Molecular processes in biological thermosensation}, series = {Journal of Biophysics. 2008 (2008)}, journal = {Journal of Biophysics. 2008 (2008)}, isbn = {1687-8000}, pages = {1 -- 9}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @article{ZerlinDigelStadleretal.2007, author = {Zerlin, Kay and Digel, Ilya and Stadler, Andreas M. and B{\"u}ldt, Georg and Zaccai, Guiseppe and Artmann, Gerhard}, title = {Dynamics and interactions of hemoglobin in human red blood cells and concentrated hemoglobin solutions}, series = {Regenerative medicine. 2 (2007), H. 5}, journal = {Regenerative medicine. 2 (2007), H. 5}, isbn = {1746-0751}, pages = {573 -- 573}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @article{MaggakisKelemenDigelArtmann2005, author = {Maggakis-Kelemen, Christina and Digel, Ilya and Artmann, Gerhard}, title = {Polystyrene sulfonate/Polyallylamine hydrochloride microcapsules as potential artificial red blood cells - improvement of capsule flexibility}, series = {Biomedizinische Technik. 50 (2005), H.

Direct exploration of such extraterrestrial aquatic ecosystems requires advanced access and sampling technologies with a high level of autonomy. A new technological approach has been developed as part of the collaborative research project Enceladus Explorer (EnEx). The concept is based upon a minimally invasive melting probe called the IceMole. The force-regulated, heater-controlled IceMole is able to travel along a curved trajectory as well as upwards. Hence, it allows maneuvers which may be necessary for obstacle avoidance or target selection. Maneuverability, however, necessitates a sophisticated on-board navigation system capable of autonomous operations. The development of such a navigational system has been the focal part of the EnEx project. The original IceMole has been further developed to include relative positioning based on in-ice attitude determination, acoustic positioning, ultrasonic obstacle and target detection integrated through a high-level sensor fusion. This paper describes the EnEx technology and discusses implications for an actual extraterrestrial mission concept.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchlemmerPorstBassametal.2017, author = {Schlemmer, Katharina and Porst, Dariusz and Bassam, Rasha and Artmann, Gerhard and Digel, Ilya}, title = {Effects of nitric oxide (NO) and ATP on red blood cell phenotype and deformability}, series = {2nd YRA MedTech Symposium 2017 : June 8th - 9th / 2017 / Hochschule Ruhr-West}, booktitle = {2nd YRA MedTech Symposium 2017 : June 8th - 9th / 2017 / Hochschule Ruhr-West}, editor = {Erni, Daniel and Fischerauer, Alice and Himmel, J{\"o}rg and Seeger, Thomas and Thelen, Klaus}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Duisburg-Essen}, address = {Duisburg}, organization = {MedTech Symposium}, isbn = {978-3-9814801-9-1}, doi = {10.17185/duepublico/43984}, pages = {100 -- 101}, year = {2017}, language = {en} }
