surface modification by using of immobilized electrostatic self-assembly of bacteriorhodopsin as protein memory
bacteriorhodopsin (br) is the light harvesting and photoactive proton pump found in the membrane of a salt marsh bacteria. this protein has significant potential to use in optical computing and memory devices due to unique intrinsic physical properties of photo and bioelectric. all these features make br one of the most promising protein candidates in protein memories. protein memory is a kind ...
متن کاملElectrostatic theory of viral self-assembly: a toy model
Viruses self-assemble from identical capsid proteins and their genome consisting, for example, of a long single stranded (ss) RNA. For a big class of T = 3 viruses capsid proteins have long positive Nterminal tails. We explore the role played by the Coulomb interaction between the brush of positive N-terminal tails rooted at the inner surface of the capsid and the negative ss RNA molecule. We s...
متن کاملElectrostatic Self-Assembly of Nanodiamonds
Not all the crude agglutinates are crushable into primary particles by beads-milling. The most reliable criterion for the crushability of crude detonation product is zeta-potential in aqueous suspension, which must be higher than +50mV or lower than -50mV as determined on a Zetasizer Nano-ZS (Malvern Instruments, England). We use fluffy, grey-coloured fine powder made by Guangzhou Panyu Guangda...
متن کاملMicrofabrication through Electrostatic Self-Assembly
We use electrostatic interactions to direct the patterning of gold disks having ∼10-μm diameters on functionalized surfaces. Planar and curved substrates with patterned surface charge were generated either by microcontact printing or by photolithography. Small charged gold disks were generated by electroplating gold into photoresist molds and derivatizing these disks with charged self-assembled...
متن کاملHydrophobic condensation and modular assembly model of protein folding
Despite several decades of intense study, protein folding problem remains elusive. In this paper, we review current knowledge and the prevailing thinking in the field, and summarize our work on the in vitro folding of a typical small globular protein, staphylococcal nuclease (SNase). Various thermodynamic and kinetic methods have been employed to determine the energetic and construct the energy...
