Cyclodextrin-based self-assembled nanotubes at the water/air interface.

چکیده
Native alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) is found to spontaneously form films at aqueous solution/air interfaces. Shape-response measurements to volume perturbations on drops hanging from a capillary indicate that temperature and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) concentration strongly modify the viscoelastic properties of such films. By using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), Brewster angle microscopy (BAM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, it is shown that the films consist of self-assembled nanotubes whose building blocks are cyclodextrin dimers (alpha-CD2) and alpha-CD2-SDS1 complexes.

Self-assembled, cogged hexameric nanotubes formed from pyrogallol[4]arenes with a unique branched side chain.
A branched side chain pyrogallol[4]arene self-assembles into a previously-unreported cogged hydrogen-bonded nanotube structure in the solid state and self-assembles at the air-water interface on the Langmuir trough.
متن کاملEngineering Nano-aggregates: β-Cyclodextrin Facilitates the Thiol-Gold Nanoparticle Self-Assembly
The structure and morphology of nonmaterial formed by colloidal synthesis represent a subject of interest as it is a factor deciding the physicochemical properties and biological applications of nanostructures. Among various nanoparticles, gold can develop fractal assembled patterns. Herein, we report a nano-aggregate of a thiol-on-gold self-assembled structure and the influence of β-cyclodextr...

We investigated the self-assembly of cyclodextrin (CD) molecules at the tetradecane–aqueous solution interface through formation of inclusion complexes (ICs). We studied the surface activity of CDs at both the air–water and the oil–water interface. Although a-CD and b-CD are not surface active at the air–water interface, they form pseudo-surfactants as inclusion complexes with linear oil molecu...
متن کاملAtomic force microscopy of nonhydroxy galactocerebroside nanotubes and their self-assembly at the air-water interface, with applications to myelin.
Myelin is one of the few biological membranes to contain the lipid galactocerebrosides, although their role in myelin is unclear. To explore its structural role, we used fluorescence and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to study nonhydroxy galactocerebrosides (NCer) at the air-water interface of a Langmuir-Blodgett trough. Fluorescence microscopy at the air-water interface indicated that NCer form...
متن کاملThe SC3 hydrophobin self-assembles into a membrane with distinct mass transfer properties.
Hydrophobins are a class of small proteins that fulfill a wide spectrum of functions in fungal growth and development. They do so by self-assembling into an amphipathic membrane at hydrophilic-hydrophobic interfaces. The SC3 hydrophobin of Schizophyllum commune is the best-studied hydrophobin. It assembles at the air-water interface into a membrane consisting of functional amyloid fibrils that ...
