Implicit solvent simulations of DPC micelle formation.
The formation of micelles by dodecylphosphocholine (DPC) is modeled by treating the surfactants in atomic detail and the solvent implicitly, in the spirit of the EEF1 solvation model for proteins. The solvation parameters of the DPC atoms are carried over from those of similar atoms in proteins. A slight adjustment of the parameters for the headgroup was found necessary for obtaining an aggrega...
متن کاملSolvent-induced micelle formation in a hydrophobic interaction model.
We investigate the aggregation of amphiphilic molecules by adapting the two-state Muller-Lee-Graziano model for water, in which a solvent-induced hydrophobic interaction is included implicitly. We study the formation of various types of micelle as a function of the distribution of hydrophobic regions at the molecular surface. Successive substitution of nonpolar surfaces by polar ones demonstrat...
متن کاملchanges in soil physical properties in response to metal-tracked skidder traffic
ground skidding on skid trails affects the physical properties of soil. the objective of this study was to evaluate changes in soil physical properties on skid trails formed due to traffic of metal-tracked skidders with regard to soil bulk density, total porosity, water content and penetration resistance. the studies were implemented on two levels of slope – 20% (sc2) – and three levels of traf...
متن کاملPolymer Brush Response to Solvent Flow
The presence of polymer chains grafted or adsorbed onto a surface can dramatically alter the forces that affect interactions between surfaces. The equilibrium properties of such polymer brush systems have been studied for the past two decades, yielding general agreement between theory and experiment. Conversely, the nonequilibrium properties of polymer brushes are still under intense theoretica...
متن کاملMorphological Changes in Response to Drought Stress in Cultivated and Wild Almond Species
This study was undertaken to identify morphological changes in young seedlings of 5 Iranian almond species (Prunus dulcis, P. eburnea, P. eleagnifolia, P. haussknechti, and P. scoparia) under polyethylene glycol-induced drought stress. Drought stress caused a significant reduction in plant growth parameters such as fresh and dry weights of plant organs, leaf number, total leaf area, and leaf re...
