Short Biography of Zeno Földes-Papp:
Professor Zeno Földes-Papp is a retired biochemist and gerontologist renowned for his pioneering work in single-molecule biophysics and biochemistry. He significantly contributed to establishing the foundation of these fields by focusing on the stochastic nature of molecular diffusion and emphasizing the behavior of individual molecules.
Holding dual doctorates in medicine (Dr. med.) and natural sciences (Dr. rer. nat.) and the habilitation degree (Private Docent, private lecturer, PD) in medical biochemistry, Professor Zeno Földes-Papp has had a distinguished academic career. He served as a visiting professor at the German University in Cairo (GUC, private university), where he worked part-time in the Department of Mathematics. His research at GUC centered on developing theoretical frameworks for single-molecule detection without the need for solid-phase immobilization or external forces, introducing concepts such as “The Meaningful Time Tm” to describe individual molecular events.
Throughout his career, Professor Zeno Földes-Papp has been affiliated with institutions like Asklepios in Germany and has maintained an active research presence, as evidenced by his Google Scholar profile, which lists numerous publications and a substantial h-index.
Even in retirement, he continues to contribute to the scientific community, including serving as a guest editor for academic journals and engaging in ongoing research projects.
Zeno Földes-Papp is known for his work in single-molecule biophysics, particularly his research on observing and analyzing individual molecules in solution and membrane as well as live cells without immobilization or hydrodynamics focusing. He introduced the concepts of "Re-entries" into the detection/observation volume and the "Meaningful Time Tm" to analyze the behavior of individual molecules over extended periods, even when they re-enter the observation volume. Here is a short, more detailed look at his contributions:
• Single-Molecule Measurements in Solution and Membrane for Live Cells.
Zeno Földes-Papp pioneered methods for studying individual molecules in solution and membrane as well as live cells using techniques like Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) and Fluorescence Cross-Correlation Spectroscopy (FCCS).
• "Re-entry" and "Meaningful Time Tm".
He developed the concept of "meaningful time Tm" to address the challenge of analyzing single molecules that diffuse in and out of the observation volume. This approach allows researchers to track the same molecule over multiple entries, providing more detailed insights into its behavior.
• No Immobilization or Hydrodynamic Focusing.
Zeno Földes-Papp's work emphasizes the study of single molecules in their natural state, without the need for surface immobilization or the use of external forces like hydrodynamic focusing.
• Applications.
His research has implications for various fields, including biotechnology, gene technology, cell biology, and medical and pharmaceutical research.
• Theoretical Frameworks.
Zeno Földes-Papp has developed theoretical frameworks for single-molecule detection, including the use of the thermodynamic signature of a single molecule or a single particle (thermodynamic jitter) in dilute liquids and living cells, thus laying the foundations for Single-Molecule Biophysics & Biochemistry based on the stochastic nature of diffusion (thermodynamic jitter).

Notice and transparency regarding the plagiarism in this work/article - See under 6. Addendum in this article -
"Due to plagiarism and illegal publications of an earlier manuscript draft by the open access journal ‘Systematic Reviews in Pharmacy’, which contained wrongly typeset, incorrect mathematical–physical formulas and relationships as well as a fake author (as the main author), we changed the content and made linguistic changes and improvements in this original research article. Now, all formulas and physical relationships are correct and confirmed by both authors. We are very grateful for the support and help of the US Prepint.org team in this very unpleasant situation caused by the open-access journal ‘Systematic Reviews in Pharmacy’. Preprint.org supported us by uncovering this copyright scandal from an ethical perspective and Preprint.org was very helpful in dealing with it correctly (email correspondence)."
The omission is filed and legal action will be taken to ensure that the preliminary manuscript, which I did not authorize and which has an inadmissible third author (fake author), continues to be kept online and published in the journal "Systematic Reviews in Pharmacy" and that the name of the fake author (counterfeit author) is removed, which is tantamount to a name change.
