A custom-built AFM controlled by an analogue proportional-integral-derivative feedback system [ 24] was employed to follow the reduction, catalysed by thioredoxin, of individual disulfide bonds under a stretching force applied to the substrate.
The community group that gets together to revive a street market or establish an urban garden, or the penniless artists who turn a leaky warehouse into a gallery, are indirectly responsible for catalysing the very forces they are usually determined to prevent.
