Pressure-induced protein-folding/unfolding kinetics.
We use an off-lattice minimalist model to describe the effects of pressure in slowing down the folding/unfolding kinetics of proteins when subjected to increasingly larger pressures. The potential energy function used to describe the interactions between beads in the model includes the effects of pressure on the pairwise interaction of hydrophobic groups in water. We show that pressure affects ...
متن کاملPressure induced manifold enhancement of Li-kinetics in FCC fullerene.
The reduction of the diffusion energy barrier for Li in electrodes is one of the required criteria to achieve better performances in Li ion batteries. Using density functional theory based calculations, we report a pressure induced manifold enhancement of Li-kinetics in bulk FCC fullerene. Scanning of the potential energy surface reveals a diffusion path with a low energy barrier of 0.62 eV, wh...
متن کاملKinetics of strain-induced structural changes under high pressure.
A mechanism-based microscale kinetic theory for strain-induced structural changes (SCs) (that includes phase transformations (PTs) and chemical reactions (CRs)) is developed. Time is not an independent parameter in this theory; instead, plastic strain is a time-like parameter. Kinetics depends essentially on the ratio of the yield strengths of phases. Stationary and nonstationary solutions of t...
متن کاملProtein-protein association kinetics and protein docking.
Rigid body protein docking methods frequently yield false positive structures that have good surface complementarity, but are far from the native complex. The main reason for this is the uncertainty of the protein structures to be docked, including the positions of solvent-exposed sidechains. Substantial efforts have been devoted to finding near-native structures by rescoring the docked conform...
متن کاملSurface-Induced Dissociation Kinetics
The research is designed to improve measurement of fast fragmentation kinetics of surface activated ions, to improve our understanding of how ions fragment and how energy transfers in collisions of ions with surfaces. A new technique, silicon nano-particle assisted laser desorption/ionization (SPALDI), was developed recently and allowed investigation of the kinetics of surfaceinduced dissociati...
