Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
We hereby report on the design of a set-up combining micro-resonance Raman and absorption spectroscopy with a microfluidic system. The set-up enabled us to study the nerve globin of Aphrodite aculeata in the functional isolated nerve cord under varying physiological conditions for extended periods of time. The oxygenation cycle of the organism was triggered by utilizing the microfluidic system that allowed for a fast switch between aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The nerve globin was found to very easily shift from a penta-coordinated high spin ferrous form to the oxy state upon a change from anaerobic to aerobic conditions. The observed fast reaction to varying O2 concentrations supports an oxygen-carrying and/or -storing function of the nerve globin. In addition, by combining resonance Raman and absorption spectroscopy, the physiological response could be distinguished from light-induced effects. |
