Plasmonic interactions and optical forces between au bipyramidal nanoparticle dimers.
Interparticle forces that can be driven by applied (optical) fields could lead to the formation of new particle arrangements when assembled in arrays. Furthermore, the potentially large interactions and large local fields associated with plasmon excitations in anisotropic nanoparticles can lead to enhanced nonlinear responses and applications for sensing. These and other applications would bene...
متن کاملElectrostatic interactions between Janus particles.
In this paper we study the electrostatic properties of "Janus" spheres with unequal charge densities on both hemispheres. We introduce a method to compare primitive-model Monte Carlo simulations of the ionic double layer with predictions of (mean-field) nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann theory. We also derive practical Derjaguin Landau Verwey Overbeek (DLVO)-like expressions that describe the Janus-p...
متن کاملNMR Approaches to Large Proteins: trp Repressor and Chloramphenicol Acetyltransferase
The current upper limit for protein structure determination by *H nmr [1] is in the region of Mr 12-15,000. The use of stable isotope labelling, with H, C or N, can substantially extend this limit, perhaps to Mr 30,000 (for methodological reviews, see [2][4]). However, there remain many interesting and important proteins which are much larger than this, and we have been trying to establish what...
متن کاملHow does trp repressor bind to its operator?
Three explanations have been advanced to account for the unexpected absence of direct hydrogen bonds and presence of a buried water layer in the co-crystal-line complex of Escherichia coli trp repressor with DNA. We present results of physical and biochemical measurements that address the testable predictions of each model. We find that the DNA oligomer used for co-crystallization binds to the ...
متن کاملInteraction of the trp repressor from Escherichia coli with a constitutive trp operator.
The interaction of the trp repressor from Escherichia coli with a 20 bp fragment of DNA (CGTACTGATT.AATCAGTACG) corresponding to a mutant trp operator was studied by c.d. in the presence and absence of the co-repressor, L-tryptophan, and as a function of the concentration of K+ and Na+ ions. The affinity of the repressor for the mutant operator in the presence of tryptophan is about three order...
