Mechanics of single peptide hydrogelator fibrils.
The rigidity of peptide fibers is essential for their chemical and biological functions, despite that it remains largely unexplored. Here, we present the first direct measurement of the mechanics of individual fibers in peptide hydrogels by AFM imaging and statistical analysis and find that the intermolecular interactions play a considerable role.
متن کاملSlow kinetics of Brownian maxima.
We study extreme-value statistics of Brownian trajectories in one dimension. We define the maximum as the largest position to date and compare maxima of two particles undergoing independent Brownian motion. We focus on the probability P(t) that the two maxima remain ordered up to time t and find the algebraic decay P ∼ t(-β) with exponent β = 1/4. When the two particles have diffusion constants...
متن کاملTopological Control on Silicates' Dissolution Kinetics.
Like many others, silicate solids dissolve when placed in contact with water. In a given aqueous environment, the dissolution rate depends on the composition and the structure of the solid and can span several orders of magnitude. Although the kinetics of dissolution depends on the complexities of both the dissolving solid and the solvent, a clear understanding of which structural descriptors o...
متن کاملDISSOLUTION KINETICS OF MANGANESE DIOXIDE ORE IN SULFURIC ACID IN THE PRESENCE OF FERROUS ION
Abstract: In this paper, kinetics of reductive leaching of manganese dioxide ore by ferrous ion in sulfuric acid media has been examined. Experimental results show that increasing temperature from 20 to 60 °C and decreasing ore particle size from −16+20 to −60+100 mesh considerably enhance both the dissolution rate and efficiency. Molar ratios of Fe2+/MnO2 and H2SO4/MnO2 in excess to the st...
متن کاملFibrils of Truncated Pyroglutamyl-Modified Aβ Peptide Exhibit a Similar Structure as Wildtype Mature Aβ Fibrils
Fibrillation of differently modified amyloid β peptides and deposition as senile plaques are hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. N-terminally truncated variants, where the glutamate residue 3 is converted into cyclic pyroglutamate (pGlu), form particularly toxic aggregates. We compare the molecular structure and dynamics of fibrils grown from wildtype Aβ(1-40) and pGlu3-Aβ(3-40) on the single ami...
