Carbon nanotube–liposome supramolecular nanotrains for intelligent molecular-transport systems
Biological network systems, such as inter- and intra-cellular signalling systems, are handled in a sophisticated manner by the transport of molecular information. Over the past few decades, there has been a growing interest in the development of synthetic molecular-transport systems. However, several key technologies have not been sufficiently realized to achieve optimum performance of transpor...
متن کاملpH and Amphiphilic Structure Direct Supramolecular Behavior in Biofunctional Assemblies
Supramolecular self-assembly offers promising new ways to control nanostructure morphology and respond to external stimuli. A pH-sensitive self-assembled system was developed to both control nanostructure shape and respond to the acidic microenvironment of tumors using self-assembling peptide amphiphiles (PAs). By incorporating an oligo-histidine H6 sequence, we developed two PAs that self-asse...
متن کاملDesign of High Sensitivity and Linearity Microelectromechanical Systems Capacitive Tire Pressure Sensor using Stepped Membrane
This paper is focused on a novel design of stepped diaphragm for MEMS capacitive pressure sensor used in tire pressure monitoring system. The structure of sensor diaphragm plays a key role for determining the sensitivity of the sensor and the non-linearity of the output.First the structures of two capacitive pressure sensors with clamped square flatdiaphragms, with different thicknesses are inv...
متن کاملSupramolecular Approaches to Combining Membrane Transport with Adhesion
Cells carefully control the transit of compounds through their membranes using "gated" protein channels that respond to chemical stimuli. Connexin gap junctions, which are high conductance cell-to-cell channels, are a remarkable class of "gated" channel with multiple levels of assembly. A gap junction between adhering cells comprises two half-channels in each cell membrane that adhere to each o...
متن کاملFacilitated Transport Membrane Systems
R. D. Noble, a research profissor in chemical engineering at the Univ. of Colorado, specializes in the use of reversible chemical reactions in chemical gas and liquid separation processes, most notably the use of ion-exchange membranes as supports for complexing agents and the modeling and analysis of various facilitated transport systems. Refore joining the Univ, of Colorado, he served as an a...
