Terminal supraparticle assemblies from similarly charged protein molecules and nanoparticles.
Self-assembly of proteins and inorganic nanoparticles into terminal assemblies makes possible a large family of uniformly sized hybrid colloids. These particles can be compared in terms of utility, versatility and multifunctionality to other known types of terminal assemblies. They are simple to make and offer theoretical tools for designing their structure and function. To demonstrate such ass...
متن کاملGeneric, phenomenological, on-the-fly renormalized repulsion model for self-limited organization of terminal supraparticle assemblies.
Self-limited, or terminal, supraparticles have long received great interest because of their abundance in biological systems (DNA bundles and virus capsids) and their potential use in a host of applications ranging from photonics and catalysis to encapsulation for drug delivery. Moreover, soft, uniform colloidal aggregates are a promising candidate for quasicrystal and other hierarchical assemb...
متن کاملBiochanin A similarly influences the fluidity of liposomes formed from charged and zwitterionic lipids.
Biochanin A is a naturally occurring isoflavone, most commonly found in legumes, especially in soya beans or in red clover. The spectrum of biochanin As biological activities is very wide: it displays antioxidative, cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and enzyme inhibitory properties. At least some of those activities may involve the interaction of biochanin A with the lipid phase o...
متن کاملPrebiotic Evolution of Molecular Assemblies: From Molecules to Ecology
Present life portrays a two-tier phenomenology: molecules compose supramolecular structures, such as cells or organisms, which in turn portray population behaviors, including selection, evolution and ecological dynamics. Prebiotic models have often focused on evolution in populations of self-replicating supramolecules, without explicitly invoking the intermediate molecular-to-supramolecular sta...
متن کاملSolution NMR of large molecules and assemblies.
Solution NMR spectroscopy represents a powerful tool for examining the structure and function of biological macromolecules. The advent of multidimensional (2D-4D) NMR, together with the widespread use of uniform isotopic labeling of proteins and RNA with the NMR-active isotopes, 15N and 13C, opened the door to detailed analyses of macromolecular structure, dynamics, and interactions of smaller ...
