Membrane Nanoclusters—Tails of the Unexpected
نویسندگان
چکیده
The existence, nature, and role of highly ordered membrane domains, often referred to as lipid rafts, have been highly debated by cell biologists for many years. In this issue, Raghupathy et al. describe molecular mechanisms leading to the formation of ordered lipid-protein clusters.

Computational study of electronic, spectroscopic and chemical properties of Cun(n=2-8) nanoclusters for CO adsorption
First-principle calculations were carried out to investigate the adsorption of CO over Cun nanoclusters. The structural, spectroscopic and electronic properties like optimized geometries, HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) and LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) energy levels, binding energy, adsorption energy, vibrational frequency and density of states (DOSs) of the p...
متن کاملSize Evolution Study of the Electronic and Magnetic Properties of MgO Nanoclusters
Magnesium oxide nanoclusters have attracted much attention due to their potential applications to catalysis and novel optoelectronic materials. In the present study, we have studied the electronic and magnetic properties of the stoichiometric magnesium oxide nanoclusters (MgO)n for n = 2-20. Although the binding energy increases with the size of the cluster, it re...

In this manuscript, density functional theory was used to explore structural, vibrational and optical properties of the (Sc2O3)n (n=1-5) cluster systems using DFT/B3LYP/LanL2DZ level of computation. Different stable isomers were obtained and numerous chemical parameters such as HOMO-LUMO gap, ionization potential and electron affinity were calculated successfully. Stability of the clusters was ...
متن کاملSynthesis of fluorescent phenylethanethiolated gold nanoclusters via pseudo-AGR method.
It is well known that the fluorescence of metal nanoclusters is strongly dependent of the protecting ligand and reports of phenylethanethiolated metal nanoclusters with distinct fluorescence are rare. Herein, a fluorescent phenylethanethiolated gold nanocluster is synthesized using an unexpected pseudo-AGR method (AGR: anti-galvanic reduction). The cluster is precisely determined to be Au24(SC2...
