Disclosed herein are methods and devices for a cell-free assay platform that enables measurement of membrane protein function by measuring the events that are induced by ligand binding or other stimuli.

Quantitative measurement of membrane protein function on a biosensor

A mattress for a children's playpen or play-yard product using a hard substrate layer and an inflatable bladder to improve comfort, the hard substrate layer including a plurality of rigid substrate sections rotateably attached to one another allowing the mattress's hard substrate layer to lie flat when in use as a mattress and to fold into multilateral shapes when in use as a carrying case, the inflatable bladder improving the comfort of the mattress when inflated and in use as a mattress and still allowing the mattress to operate as an effective carrying case when deflated. The children's playpen or play-yard product also includes a collapsible frame assembly with an air compressor mounted thereto, in preferable embodiments, the air compressor being detachably connectable to the mattress's inflatable bladder to quickly inflate and/or deflate the mattress to facilitate its multifunctional use.

The present invention is generally directed to functionalized graphene substrates, methods of making such substrates and methods of using such substrates. In one aspect, the present invention provides a graphene substrate. The substrate comprises edge and non-edge regions, and organic or inorganic molecules are bound to the edge regions of the substrate. The organic or inorganic molecules are present on the substrate edges at a population greater than about one molecule per 10,000 nm.

Functionalized graphene substrates

The present invention is generally directed to internally functionalized graphene substrates, methods of making such substrates and methods of using such substrates. In one aspect, the present invention is a graphene substrate. The substrate comprises edge and non-edge regions. Organic or inorganic molecules are bound to the non-edge regions of the substrate, and the organic or inorganic molecules are present on the substrate edges at a population greater than about one molecule per 10,000 nm.
