Identifying the protein content of a cell in fast and reliable manner would represent an important achievement field proteomics. Nanopores, which have been demonstrated to be highly capable sequencing DNA, are now also considered for single-protein studies. Here, we computationally explore potential cylindrical-shaped nanopore created silicon nitride sense distinguish two mini-proteins similar ...

Recent experimental findings suggest that strontium titanate SrTiO3 (STO) photocatalytic activity for water splitting could be improved by creating multifaceted nanoparticles. To understand the underlying mechanisms and energetics, model faceted nanoparticles was created. The nanoparticles’ surface is considered us as a combination of flat “stepped” facets. Ab initio calculations adsorption oxy...
