A Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study of Two Dipeptide Based Molecular Micelles: Effect of Amino Acid Order.
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to compare the structures of the chiral molecular micelles (MM) poly-(sodium undecyl-(L,L)-leucine-valine) (poly(SULV)) and poly-(sodium undecyl-(L,L)-valine-leucine) (poly (SUVL)). Both MM contained polymerized surfactant monomers tenninated by chiral dipeptide headgroups. The study was undertaken to investigate why poly(SULV) is generally a better...
متن کاملMolecular modeling of shear-induced alignment of cylindrical micelles
This paper presents results from Monte Carlo (MC) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on the shear-induced longranged alignment of cylindrical micelles in thin films. The surfactant is represented on a lattice and the shear flow is simulated via incorporation of a shear-induced potential energy term within the acceptance criteria in the MC simulations. The MD simulations are conducted on a ...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of mixed micelles modeling human bile.
Extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of binary systems of phospholipids and bile salts, a model for human bile, have been performed. Recent progress in hardware and software development allows simulation of the spontaneous aggregation of the constituents into small mixed micelles, in agreement with experimental observations. The MD simulations reveal the structure of these micelles at ...
متن کاملLow Molecular Weight Micelles
I.F. Uchegbu et al. (eds.), Fundamentals of Pharmaceutical Nanoscience, DOI 10.1007/978-1-4614-9164-4_2, © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2013 Abstract Low molecular weight amphiphile micelles are formed from the selfassembly of comparatively hydrophilic amphiphiles (molecular weight <1,500 Da). These structures may be spherical or present as nanofi bres in the case of peptide amphiph...
متن کاملBiofortification of rice with the essential amino acid lysine: molecular characterization, nutritional evaluation, and field performance
Rice (Oryza sativa L.), a major staple crop worldwide, has limited levels of the essential amino acid lysine. We previously produced engineered rice with increased lysine content by expressing bacterial aspartate kinase and dihydrodipicolinate synthase and inhibiting rice lysine ketoglutarate reductase/saccharopine dehydrogenase activity. However, the grain quality, field performance, and integ...
