The interlaced and non-interlaced versions of the dipolar particle-particle particle-mesh (P(3)M) method implemented using the analytic differentiation scheme (AD-P(3)M) are presented together with their respective error estimates for the calculation of the forces, torques, and energies. Expressions for the optimized lattice Green functions, and for the Madelung self-forces, self-torques and se...

Under conditions where macromolecules are aligned very weakly with respect to an external magnetic field, Brownian diffusion no longer averages internuclear dipole-dipole interactions to zero. The resulting residual dipolar coupling, although typically 3 orders of magnitude weaker than in a fully aligned sample, can readily be measured by solution NMR methods. To date, application of this idea ...

1H-(13)C one-bond dipolar coupling values were measured for natural abundance samples of the human milk oligosaccharides "lacto-N-fucopentaose" (LNF-1 LNF-2, and LNF-3), "lacto-N-difucohexaose" (LND-1), "lacto-N-tetraose" (LNT), and "lacto-N-neo-tetraose" (LNnT), four of which have Lewis blood group epitopes. Each oligosaccharide was dissolved in a 7.5% solution of 1, 2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3...

C-H dipolar coupling values were measured for a natural-abundance sample of the pentasaccharide beta-D-Galp-(1-->3)-[alpha-L-Fucp-(1-->4)]-beta-D-GlcNAcp-(1 -->3)-beta-D- Galp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glcp ('lacto-N-fucopentaose 2') (LNF-2), in a 7.5% solution of dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine-dihexanoyl phosphatidylcholine bicelle liquid crystals oriented in the NMR magnetic field. Interpretation of th...

Dipole moments are ubiquitous in nature. Studying dipole moments is the first step toward understanding phase behavior of various colloids with strong dipole moments. Since the Dipolar Hard Sphere fluid (DHS) is the simplest model described by dipolar interactions, studying this model is fundamentally important for understanding the structures and thermodynamics of polar fluids. A variety of un...

The dipolar cycloaddition reactivity of N-(1-naphthy1)-1,4- benzoquinoneimine N-oxide and N-phenyl-1,4- naphthoquinoneimine Noxide are investigated, The latter gives the expected adducts with common dipolarophiles such as acrylonitryle, methyl methacrylate, dimethylacetylene dicarboxylate and N-phenylmaleimide. The reactivity of the former nitrone is found to be minimal. It undergoes, how...
