Conformational properties of poor solvent polyelectrolytes
We present recent simulations on charged polymers in poor solvent in the dilute concentration range, with and without imposed extension constraints. The resulting pearl-necklace polymer conformations are analyzed in detail. We find strong pearl number and size fluctuations leading only to minimal signatures in the form factor and the force-extension relation. We see no sign of instability of th...
متن کاملTowards a Holistic Understanding of Technology-mediated Learning Appropriation
Information technology in the learning process is one major success factor for innovative learning scenarios. A necessary pre-condition is the faithful appropriation of technology-mediated learning (TML) to ensure learning outcomes. However, research still lacks insights concerning determinants and consequences of a faithful TML appropriation. Therefore, this research-in-progress paper presents...
متن کاملTowards an understanding of membrane-mediated protein-protein interactions.
We propose a computational framework to study the lipid-mediated clustering of integral membrane proteins. Our method employs a hierarchical approach. The potential of mean force (PMF) of two interacting proteins is computed under a coarse-grained 3-D model that successfully describes the structural properties of reconstituted lipid bilayers of dymiristoylphophatidylcholine (DMPC) molecules. Su...
متن کاملIon-mediated conformational switches
Molecular switches are ubiquitous in Nature and provide the basis of many forms of transport and signalling. Single synthetic molecules that change conformation, and thus function, reversibly in a stimulus-dependent manner are of great interest not only to chemists but society in general; myriad applications exist in storage, display, sensing and medicine. Here we describe recent developments i...
متن کاملCircular dichroism and conformational polymorphism of DNA
Here we review studies that provided important information about conformational properties of DNA using circular dichroic (CD) spectroscopy. The conformational properties include the B-family of structures, A-form, Z-form, guanine quadruplexes, cytosine quadruplexes, triplexes and other less characterized structures. CD spectroscopy is extremely sensitive and relatively inexpensive. This fast a...
