Hydrophobic interactions modulate self-assembly of nanoparticles.
Hydrophobic interactions constitute one of the most important types of nonspecific interactions in biological systems, which emerge when water molecules rearrange as two hydrophobic species come close to each other. The prediction of hydrophobic interactions at the level of nanoparticles (Brownian objects) remains challenging because of uncontrolled diffusive motion of the particles. We describ...

پس ازفروپاشی شوروی،رشد منابع نفت و گاز، آسیای میانه و قفقاز را در یک بازی ژئوپلتیکی انرژی قرار داده است. با در نظر گرفتن این منابع هیدروکربنی، این منطقه به یک میدانجنگ و رقابت تجاری برای بازی های ژئوپلتیکی قدرت های بزرگ جهانی تبدیل شده است. روسیه منطقه را به عنوان حیات خلوت خود تلقی نموده و علاقمند به حفظ حضورش می باشد تا همانند گذشته گاز طبیعی را به وسیله خط لوله مرکزی دریافت و به عنوان یک واس...
15 صفحه اولThe role of solvent fluctuations in hydrophobic assembly.
We use a coarse-grained solvent model to study the self-assembly of two nanoscale hydrophobic particles in water. We show how solvent degrees of freedom are involved in the process. By using tools of transition path sampling, we elucidate the reaction coordinates describing the assembly. In accord with earlier expectations, we find that fluctuations of the liquid-vapor-like interface surroundin...
متن کاملHydrophobic interactions: an overview
We present an overview of the recent progress that has been made in understanding the origin of hydrophobic interactions. We discuss the different character of the solvation behaviour of apolar solutes at small and large length scales. We emphasize that the crossover in the solvation behaviour arises from a collective effect, which means that implicit solvent models should be used with care. We...
متن کاملContribution of hydrophobic interactions to protein stability.
Our goal was to gain a better understanding of the contribution of hydrophobic interactions to protein stability. We measured the change in conformational stability, Δ(ΔG), for hydrophobic mutants of four proteins: villin headpiece subdomain (VHP) with 36 residues, a surface protein from Borrelia burgdorferi (VlsE) with 341 residues, and two proteins previously studied in our laboratory, ribonu...
