Stabilizing effect of TMAO on globular PNIPAM states: preferential attraction induces preferential hydration.
We study the effect of the organic co-solute trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) on the volume phase transition of microgel particles made from poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The DLS measurements reveal a continuous TMAO-induced shrinking process from a coil to a globular state of PNIPAM microgel particles. A...
متن کاملMacromolecular hydration compared with preferential hydration and their role on macromolecule-osmolyte coupled diffusion.
Hydration and preferential hydration of macromolecules are two distinct properties of their multicomponent aqueous solutions. We have experimentally investigated ternary diffusion in a macromolecule-osmolyte-water system in order to characterize and compare these two independent quantities and to experimentally establish their role on the phenomenon of coupled diffusion. Specifically, we report...
متن کاملPreferential and Preferential-discriminative Consequence
The present paper investigates consequence relations that are both paraconsistent and plausible (generally nonmonotonic too). More precisely, we lay the focus on preferential consequence relations, i.e. those relations that can be defined by a binary preference relation on states labelled by valuations (such as in Non-monotonic Reasoning). The first purpose of the paper is to provide characteri...
متن کاملPreferential Sorption versus Preferential Permeability in Pervaporation*
Transport of liquids by pervaporation takes place by a solution-diffusion mechanism. In order to investigate the “solution part” of this transport model, preferential sorption has been compared with preferential permeability. Sorption equilibria and pervaporation experiments for the systems water-ethanol-cellulose acetate, water-ethanol-polyacrylonitrile and water-ethanol-polysulfone have been ...
متن کاملPreferential and Preferential-discriminative Consequence relations
The theory of preferential consequence relations, where copies of valuations (or states labeled by valuations) serve as the terms of the preference relation, has been investigated extensively in the classical context. The first purpose of the present paper is to extend the theory to certain three/four-valued contexts, well-known as the paraconsistent logics J3 and FOUR. We give characterization...
