Entropic elasticity controls nanomechanics of single tropocollagen molecules.
We report molecular modeling of stretching single molecules of tropocollagen, the building block of collagen fibrils and fibers that provide mechanical support in connective tissues. For small deformation, we observe a dominance of entropic elasticity. At larger deformation, we find a transition to energetic elasticity, which is characterized by first stretching and breaking of hydrogen bonds, ...
متن کاملsurface modification by using of immobilized electrostatic self-assembly of bacteriorhodopsin as protein memory
bacteriorhodopsin (br) is the light harvesting and photoactive proton pump found in the membrane of a salt marsh bacteria. this protein has significant potential to use in optical computing and memory devices due to unique intrinsic physical properties of photo and bioelectric. all these features make br one of the most promising protein candidates in protein memories. protein memory is a kind ...
متن کاملSurface-immobilized DNA nanomachines
We are working towards the construction of hybrid bioelectronic systems in which DNA nanomachines are integrated with semiconductor circuitry, where DNA performs the function of highly parallel, low-power processing of biomolecular signals, and silicon is used for high-speed data processing and control. This technology has applications in computation and smart biosensing, and surface immobiliza...
متن کاملStudies of Surface Coverage and Orientation of DNA Molecules Immobilized onto Preformed Alkanethiol Self-Assembled Monolayers
DNA molecules are attached onto carboxylate-terminated alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) preformed at gold surfaces via the N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide (NHS)/1-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-3ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) cross-linking reaction. Cyclic voltammetry, quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to probe the surface coverage and molecu...
متن کاملTailoring protein nanomechanics with chemical reactivity
The nanomechanical properties of elastomeric proteins determine the elasticity of a variety of tissues. A widespread natural tactic to regulate protein extensibility lies in the presence of covalent disulfide bonds, which significantly enhance protein stiffness. The prevalent in vivo strategy to form disulfide bonds requires the presence of dedicated enzymes. Here we propose an alternative chem...
