Spontaneous Helical Structure Formation in Laminin Nanofibers.
Laminin is a cross-shaped heterotrimer composed of three polypeptides chains that assembles into an insoluble extracellular matrix (ECM) network as part of the basement membrane, serving a vital role in many processes such as embryonic development, differentiation, and muscle and nerve regeneration. Here we engineered monodisperse laminin nanofibers using a surface-initiated assembly technique ...
متن کاملMD simulations of spontaneous membrane protein/detergent micelle formation.
The in vitro study of membrane proteins for the purpose of physicochemical analysis or structure determination often relies upon successful reconstitution into detergent micelles. Moreover, a number of biological processes such as membrane protein folding and transport rely on lipid interactions which may resemble the micellar environment. Little is known about the structures of these micelles ...
متن کاملMechanical Properties of Glassy Polyethylene Nanofibers via Molecular Dynamics Simulations
The extent to which the intrinsic mechanical properties of polymer fibers depend on physical size has been a matter of dispute that is relevant to most nanofiber applications. Here, we report the elastic and plastic properties determined from molecular dynamics
متن کاملEncapsulation of Methane Molecules into C60 Fullerene Nanocage: DFT and DTFB-MD Simulations
Extensive urbanization has greatly raised the demand for cleaner coal- and petroleum-derived fuels. Mainly composed of methane, natural gas represents a promising alternative for this purpose, making its storage a significant topic. In the present research, deposition of methane molecules in C60 fullerene was investigated through a combined approach wherein density functional based tight bindin...
متن کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
