Ion-Specific Potential of Mean Force Between two Aqueous Proteins
There is a considerable effort in the literature trying to calculate the mean force between globular proteins (and colloidal particles). To this purpose, we used here the ion-specific Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) equation that presents good results of ionic concentration profiles around a macroion, especially for salt solutions containing monovalent ions. The ion-specific PB equation includes not onl...
متن کاملPopulation Balance Modeling of Aggregation and Coalescence in Colloidal Systems
A complex interplay between aggregation and coa lescence occurs in many colloidal polymeric systems and determines the morphology of the final clusters of primary particles. To describe this process, a 2D population balance equation (PBE) based on cluster mass and fractal dimension is solved, employing a discretization method based on Gaussian basis functions. To prove the general reliability o...
متن کاملPotential of Mean Force of Ion Permeation through alpha7 nAChR Ion Channel
Many neuronal diseases such as Alzheimer’s dementia are related to a loss of inter-neuron communication. The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) plays a crucial role in this process and is severely affected upon disease progression. Successful therapy approaches rely on modulation of response signals, initiated by the flux of ions through the receptor integrated ion channel at the post-syn...
متن کاملGeneralizations for the potential of mean force between two isolated colloidal particles from Monte Carlo simulations.
A substantial amount of experimental and numerical evidence has shown that the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek theory is not suitable for describing those colloidal solutions that contain multivalent counterions. Toward improved understanding of such solutions, the authors report Monte Carlo calculations wherein, following Rouzina and Bloomfield, they postulate that, in the absence of van der ...
متن کاملActivation energies of colloidal particle aggregation: towards a quantitative characterization of specific ion effects.
A quantitative description of specific ion effects is an essential and focused topic in colloidal and biological science. In this work, the dynamic light scattering technique was employed to study the aggregation kinetics of colloidal particles in the various alkali ion solutions with a wide range of concentrations. It indicated that the activation energies could be used to quantitatively chara...
