Lipid tubule growth by osmotic pressure.
We present here a procedure for growing lipid tubules in vitro. This method allows us to grow tubules of consistent shape and structure, and thus can be a useful tool for nano-engineering applications. There are three stages during the tubule growth process: initiation, elongation and termination. Balancing the forces that act on the tubule head shows that the growth of tubules during the elong...
متن کاملOsmotic water transport through carbon nanotube membranes.
We use molecular dynamics simulations to study osmotically driven transport of water molecules through hexagonally packed carbon nanotube membranes. Our simulation setup comprises two such semipermeable membranes separating compartments of pure water and salt solution. The osmotic force drives water flow from the pure-water to the salt-solution compartment. Monitoring the flow at molecular reso...
متن کاملCALCULATION OF OSMOTIC PRESSURE USING A CLOSED SYSTEM MODEL
In this work we have used a closed system model to derive an analytical equation for the osmotic pressure of two component electrolyte and non-electrolyte solutions. In order to do so, we have used an equation of state, known as the dense system equation of state (DSEOS), for the model system. Based on the model, a new definition is given for the osmotic pressure of a closed system. Good ag...
متن کاملStability of Colloid Osmotic Pressure of Serum Protein By
The work of earlier investigators, Govaerts (1), Barath (2), Cope (3), Peters et al. (4) and Kylin (5) has given the impression that the colloid osmotic pressure is not only lowered with decrease in serum protein but its specific pressure (pressure per unit of protein) is also diminished. The lowering of specific pressure has usually been related to a greater decrease in the albumin fraction of...
متن کاملInfluence of Osmotic Pressure on Sporulation by Bacillus Subtilis.
Studies on the physiology of bacterial endospore formation have in many cases involved the addition of one or more compounds to a basal medium, and a determination of the effect of these upon the percentage of cells appearing as spores. The consequences, so far as the spore crop is concerned, of the addition of electrolytes (FITZ-GERALD, 5; FABiAN and BRYAN, 3), fermentable carbohydrates (ESTY,...
