Molecular Thermodynamics of Asphaltene Precipitation in Reservoir Fluids
A pre®iously described molecular-thermodynamic framework, based on colloid theory, is used to correlate experimental asphaltene-precipitation data at high-temperature and pressure conditions. In this framework, asphaltenes and resins are represented by pseudopure components, and all other components in a crude oil are presented by a continuous medium that affects ®an der Waals attractions among...
متن کاملPrecipitation of DNA by polyamines: a polyelectrolyte behavior.
Conditions of double-stranded DNA precipitation by the polyamines spermidine and spermine have been determined experimentally and compared to theoretical predictions. The influence of the concentrations of DNA and added monovalent salt, and of the DNA length has been investigated in a systematic manner. Three regimes of DNA concentrations are observed. We clarify the dependence of these regimes...
متن کاملThermodynamics of Ligand-Protein Interactions: Implications for Molecular Design
Biologically relevant macromolecules, such as proteins, do not operate as static, isolated entities. On the contrary, they are involved in numerous interactions with other species, such as proteins, nucleic acid, membranes, small molecule ligands, and also, critically, solvent molecules. These interactions often display a remarkable degree of specificity and high affinity. Fundamentally, the bi...
متن کاملLow-Molecular-Weight Heparin and Protamine-Based Polyelectrolyte Nano Complexes for Protein Delivery (A Review Articles)
We produced low-molecular-weight heparin/protamine micro (nano) particles (LMW-H/P MPs·NPs) as a carrier for heparin-binding growth factors (GFs), such as fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 and various GFs in platelet-rich plasma (PRP). A mixture of LMW-H (MW: approximately 5000 Da, 6.4 mg/ml) and protamine (MW: approximately 3000 Da, 10 mg/ml) at a ratio of 7:3 (vol:vol) yields a dispersion of m...
متن کاملMolecular thermodynamics for charged biomacromolecules
Significant progress has been made over the past 25–30 years toward understanding the molecular basis of stability and biological functions of proteins and nucleic acids. Electrostatic calculations hold a prominent place among most advanced and popular computational methods to describe the influence of solution conditions on and the precise role played by individual amino acids or atoms in stab...
