Amphiphile-water systems and electrostatic interactions
2014 Electrostatic interactions in an aqueous medium are analysed with amphiphile-water systems as models. It is concluded that the mean field Poisson-Boltzmann approximation is often adequate to describe electrostatic effects in ionic systems particularly with monovalent counterions. Two approximations inherent in the Poisson-Boltzmann equation are discussed in detail: (i) the neglect of ion-i...
متن کاملSilicon/silicon Dioxide Nanostructure in Electrostatic Field
Paper presents a numerical analysis of quantum states and probability ψψ* function of a Si/SiO2 nanostructure in varying electrostatic field. The position of probability function peak xp is traced and the bias, under which it abandons the structure (emission or discharging bias), is determined. Variations of the ground state energy with the bias is also examined. The Poisson Schrödinger model o...
متن کاملInterpreting protein/DNA interactions: distinguishing specific from non-specific and electrostatic from non-electrostatic components
We discuss the effectiveness of existing methods for understanding the forces driving the formation of specific protein-DNA complexes. Theoretical approaches using the Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) equation to analyse interactions between these highly charged macromolecules to form known structures are contrasted with an empirical approach that analyses the effects of salt on the stability of these co...
متن کاملSensitivity of water dynamics to biologically significant surfaces of monomeric insulin: role of topology and electrostatic interactions.
In addition to the biologically active monomer of the protein insulin circulating in human blood, the molecule also exists in dimeric and hexameric forms that are used as storage. The insulin monomer contains two distinct surfaces, namely, the dimer forming surface (DFS) and the hexamer forming surface (HFS), that are specifically designed to facilitate the formation of the dimer and the hexame...
متن کاملRole of contact electrification and electrostatic interactions in gecko adhesion.
Geckos, which are capable of walking on walls and hanging from ceilings with the help of micro-/nano-scale hierarchical fibrils (setae) on their toe pads, have become the main prototype in the design and fabrication of fibrillar dry adhesives. As the unique fibrillar feature of the toe pads of geckos allows them to develop an intimate contact with the substrate the animal is walking on or cling...
