Probing 2D Reaction Coordinates of Amino Acid / Surface Binding BE 442 Research Proposal
نویسنده
چکیده
Binding interactions between oligomolecules and surfaces have become important in many research fields. Specifically, these interactions can be extended to semiconductor selfassembly (1) for materials that are difficult to produce industrially. A gradient force optical trap (op tical tweezers) offers an intriguing method to investigate these interactions at a molecular level by allowing the extraction of a two dimensional reaction coordinate diagrams through elucidation of the force interactions between a probe molecule and a surface. These reaction coordinate diagrams can provide the strength and directionality of the interactions and can extend and expand research in the area of semiconductor self assembly as well as a broad range of other fields.

A new Schiff base ligand (L) obtained by the condensation reaction of N-acetylaceto-otoluidineand 2-aminopropanoic acid (an amino acid), is used to synthesize four mononuclearcomplexes of [MLCl] and [ML2] types (where M = Cu(II) and Zn(II); L = Schiff base) bykeeping the metal and ligand ratio as 1:1 and 1:2 respectively. This ligand and its complexeshave been characterized on the basis of diff...
