Three Decades of Continuous Records for Biophysical Chemistry Laboratory (BCL)

The Biophysical Chemistry Laboratory (BCL) was established in 1986 at Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics (IBB), University of Tehran as the main base and the mother of biophysical chemistry in Iran. BCL is a famous worldwide research lab in the area of thermodynamics of protein denaturation and biomacromolecular interaction. The first student that joined BCL was MSc student in 1987, while...

Food Physical Chemistry and Biophysical Chemistry

Food physical chemistry is considered to be a branch of Food chemistry [1] [2] concerned with the study of both physical and chemical interactions in foods in terms of physical and chemical principles applied to food systems, as well as the applications of physical/chemical techniques and instrumentation for the study of foods.[3] [4] [5] [6] This field encompasses the "physiochemical principle...

Seminar in Organic & Biophysical Chemistry

Recent in vitro protein-DNA binding measurements indicate that transcription factors (TFs) are bound with wide range of affinities to different DNA sequences that lack known consensus motifs, thus challenging the classical picture of specific protein-DNA binding. Our group has previously demonstrated that repetitive DNA sequence elements characterized by certain symmetries, statistically affect...

CONDeNSeD MATTeR AND BIOPHYSICAL CHeMISTRY

This Feature Article reviews recent work on an optical technique for fabricating, in a single exposure step, three-dimensional (3D) nanostructures with diverse structural layouts. The approach, which we refer to as proximity field nanopatterning, uses conformable, elastomeric phase masks to pattern thick layers of transparent, photosensitive materials in a conformal contact mode geometry. Aspec...
