Excluded volume in protein side-chain packing.
The excluded volume occupied by protein side-chains and the requirement of high packing density in the protein interior should severely limit the number of side-chain conformations compatible with a given native backbone. To examine the relationship between side-chain geometry and side-chain packing, we use an all-atom Monte Carlo simulation to sample the large space of side-chain conformations...
متن کاملExcluded Volume Effect in Queueing Theory
We have introduced excluded volume effect, which is an important factor to model a realistic pedestrian queue, into queueing theory. The probability distributions of pedestrian number and pedestrian waiting time in a queue have been calculated exactly. Due to time needed to close up the queue, the mean number of pedestrians increases as pedestrian arrival probability (λ) and leaving probability...
متن کاملIncorporation of excluded-volume correlations into Poisson-Boltzmann theory.
We investigate the effect of excluded-volume interactions on the electrolyte distribution around a charged macroion. First, we introduce a criterion for determining when hard-core effects should be taken into account beyond standard mean-field Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) theory. Next, we demonstrate that several commonly proposed local-density-functional approaches for excluded-volume interactions c...
متن کاملPhotocatalytic multiphase micro-droplet reactors based on complex coacervation.
We describe the synthesis and characterisation of novel photocatalytic multiphase micro-droplet reactors comprising TiO2 nanosheets dispersed in poly(diallyldimethylammonium) chloride and adenosine 5'-triphosphate or poly(ethylene glycol) 4-nonylphenyl 3-sulfopropyl complex coacervates. We demonstrate significant variations in the degree of equilibrium partitioning of small molecule dyes into t...
متن کاملComplex coacervation of supercharged proteins with polyelectrolytes.
Complexation of proteins with polyelectrolytes or block copolymers can lead to phase separation to generate a coacervate phase or self-assembly of coacervate core micelles. However, many proteins do not coacervate at conditions near neutral pH and physiological ionic strength. Here, protein supercharging is used to systematically explore the effect of protein charge on the complex coacervation ...
