Rapid internal contraction boosts DNA friction
Macroscopic objects are usually manipulated by force and observed with light. On the nanoscale, however, this is often done oppositely: individual macromolecules are manipulated by light and monitored with force. This procedure, which is the basis of single-molecule force spectroscopy, has led to much of our quantitative understanding of how DNA works, and is now routinely applied to explore mo...

متن کاملInternal friction in enzyme reactions.
The empirical concept of internal friction was introduced 20 years ago. This review summarizes the results of experimental and theoretical studies that help to uncover the nature of internal friction. After the history of the concept, we describe the experimental challenges in measuring and interpreting internal friction based on the viscosity dependence of enzyme reactions. We also present spe...
متن کاملInternal Friction in Concentrated Alloys
Internal friction in concentrated alloys at kHz frequencies and at temperatures from 120 3 0 0 K has been studied in alpha-and beta-brasses as a function of grain size, temperature and pre-strain, and a statistical model has been proposed to account for the observations.
متن کاملInternal Friction in Irradiated Polymethylmethacrylate
Some results of the influence of y radiation on the mechanical properties of PoIymethylmethacrylate are presented. Doses of 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 kGy were employed. The internal friction (loss tangent) and storage shear modulus were measured at temperatures between 173 K and 300 K using a damped torsion pendulum. Compressive tests were made at room temperature with strain rates between 1 . 4 ...
