Multiscale simulations for suspensions of rod-like molecules
We study the Doi model for suspensions of rod–like molecules. The Doi model couples a microscopic Fokker–Planck type equation (Smoluchowski equation) to the macroscopic Stokes equation. The Smoluchowski equation describes the evolution of the distribution of the rod orientations; it comes as a drift–diffusion equation on the sphere at every point in physical space. For sufficiently high macrosc...
متن کاملSolution behavior of rod-like polyelectrolyte-surfactant aggregates polymerized from wormlike micelles.
The behavior of a rod-like, water-soluble, polyelectrolyte-surfactant aggregate system (pC16TVB) in aqueous solution is characterized to determine the partitioning of surfactant in these systems and the impact on aggregate structure. These aggregates are generated by in situ polymerization of a cationic surfactant-hydrotrope wormlike micelle system. This system differs from most other polyelect...
متن کاملMolecular modeling of shear-induced alignment of cylindrical micelles
This paper presents results from Monte Carlo (MC) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on the shear-induced longranged alignment of cylindrical micelles in thin films. The surfactant is represented on a lattice and the shear flow is simulated via incorporation of a shear-induced potential energy term within the acceptance criteria in the MC simulations. The MD simulations are conducted on a ...
متن کاملPredicting drug-induced arrhythmias by multiscale modeling.
Drugs often have undesired side effects. In the heart, they can induce lethal arrhythmias such as torsades de pointes. The risk evaluation of a new compound is costly and can take a long time, which often hinders the development of new drugs. Here, we establish a high-resolution, multiscale computational model to quickly assess the cardiac toxicity of new and existing drugs. The input of the mo...
متن کاملAzobenzene photoisomerization-induced destabilization of B-DNA.
Molecular photoswitches provide a promising way for selective regulation of nanoscaled biological systems. It has been shown that conformational changes of azobenzene, one of the widely used photoswitches, can be used to reversibly control DNA duplex formation. Here, we investigate the conformational response of DNA upon azobenzene binding and isomerization, using a threoninol linker that has b...
