Bridging scale methods for nanomechanics and materials
Inspired by the pioneering work of Professor T.J.R. Hughes on the variational multi-scale method, this document summarizes recent developments in multiple-scale modeling using a newly developed technique called the bridging scale. The bridging scale consists of a two-scale decomposition in which the coarse scale is simulated using continuum methods, while the fine scale is simulated using atomi...
متن کاملMolecular engineering of streptavidin.
Streptavidin is a tetrameric protein produced by the bacterium Streptomyces avidinii; it has great similarity to the chicken protein avidin.14 These proteins bind the vitamin biotin with an extremely high affinity. The dissociation constant of streptavidin-biotin and avidin-biotin complexes is estimated at around M;3.4 this is one of the tightest noncovalent interactions found in biological sys...
متن کاملNanomechanics of functional and pathological amyloid materials.
Amyloid or amyloid-like fibrils represent a general class of nanomaterials that can be formed from many different peptides and proteins. Although these structures have an important role in neurodegenerative disorders, amyloid materials have also been exploited for functional purposes by organisms ranging from bacteria to mammals. Here we review the functional and pathological roles of amyloid m...
متن کاملAn introduction to computational nanomechanics and materials
Many arenas of research are rapidly advancing due to a combined effort between engineering and science. In some cases, fields of research that were stagnating under the exclusive domain of one discipline have been imbued with new discoveries through collaboration with practitioners from the second discipline. In computational mechanics, we are particularly concerned about the technological engi...
