Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) Visual Guide 🧵 Resonance... energy transfer occurs when excess energy from an excited chromophore (donor) is transferred to a nearby chromophore (acceptor) within around 10nm. This phenomena has been exploited for cell biology applications such as FRET biosensors and FRET-FLIM that measure protein-protein interactions.show more

Earlier today the Israel Defense Force and Shin Bet... conducted a Precision Strike on a Hamas Command-and-Control Center inside of a Mosque within the Al-Taba’een School Complex in Gaza City, with it so far Confirmed that 19 Senior Members of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) were Eliminated in the Strike, including a Platoon Commander and Two Cell Commanders of Hamas. The Strike was carried out using Three Precision Munitions which Directly Impacted the Command Center, causing No Severe Damage to any nearby Buildings, the School Complex, or even the Mosque. This Footage clearly shows the claims being made by the Hamas-Run, Gaza Health Ministry of over 100 Palestinian Deaths as a result of the Strike are False and nearly Impossible.show more
