Light-induced unfolding and refolding of supramolecular polymer nanofibres
Unlike classical covalent polymers, one-dimensionally (1D) elongated supramolecular polymers (SPs) can be encoded with high degrees of internal order by the cooperative aggregation of molecular subunits, which endows these SPs with extraordinary properties and functions. However, this internal order has not yet been exploited to generate and dynamically control well-defined higher-order (second...
متن کاملPatterning of light-emitting conjugated polymer nanofibres.
Organic materials have revolutionized optoelectronics by their processability, flexibility and low cost, with application to light-emitting devices for full-colour screens, solar cells and lasers. Some low-dimensional organic semiconductor structures exhibit properties resembling those of inorganics, such as polarized emission and enhanced electroluminescence. One-dimensional metallic, III-V an...
متن کاملUnfolding and refolding studies
Equilibrium and kinetic studies of the unfolding-refolding of goat spleen cathepsin B induced by urea are reported. Tryptophan fluorescence and enzyme activity were monitored. The activity of cathepsin B is lost reversibly at 1.2 M-urea. The enzyme unfolds in two main stages, having a stable intermediate (Y) between its native (N) and fully denatured (D) states. Enzyme activity and kinetic stud...
متن کاملPolymer Composite Nanofibres
It is known that carbon nanotubes have impressive mechanical properties and it is thought that one of the best ways to realize them is to incorporate nanotubes into composites. The highest levels of stiffness and strength are obtained for composites with the reinforcing fibers aligned in one direction. It has also been recognized that for any nanocomposite to realize its full potential in terms...
متن کاملMechanical unfolding and refolding pathways of ubiquitin.
Mechanical unfolding and refolding of ubiquitin are studied by Monte Carlo simulations of a Gō model with binary variables. The exponential dependence of the time constants on the force is verified, and folding and unfolding lengths are computed, with good agreement with experimental results. Furthermore, the model exhibits intermediate kinetic states, as observed in experiments. Unfolding and ...
