Specific Ion Binding at Phospholipid Membrane Surfaces.
Metal cations are ubiquitous components in biological environments and play an important role in regulating cellular functions and membrane properties. By applying metadynamics simulations, we have performed systematic free energy calculations of Na(+), K(+), Ca(2+), and Mg(2+) bound to phospholipid membrane surfaces for the first time. The free energy landscapes unveil specific binding behavio...
متن کاملSolvation forces between molecularly rough surfaces.
Surface heterogeneity affects significantly wetting and adhesion properties. However, most of the theories and simulation methods of calculating solid-fluid interactions assume a standard thermodynamic model of the Gibbs' dividing solid-fluid interface, which is molecularly smooth. This assumption gives rise to a layering of the fluid phase near the surface that is displayed in oscillating dens...
متن کاملAdhesion forces between wetted solid surfaces.
We investigate in this paper the influence of wetting films on the adhesion forces between macroscopic solid surfaces connected by a liquid bridge. We show that the capillary forces are dependent on the interactions governing the wetting layers, and that those interactions may be determined from the measurement of the capillary force in the presence of a condensable vapor. We illustrate those r...
متن کاملCapillary forces between surfaces with nanoscale roughness.
The flow and adhesion behavior of fine powders (approx. less than 10 microm) is significantly affected by the magnitude of attractive interparticle forces. Hence, the relative humidity and magnitude of capillary forces are critical parameters in the processing of these materials. In this investigation, approximate theoretical formulae are developed to predict the magnitude and onset of capillar...
متن کاملCharge heterogeneity of surfaces: mapping and effects on surface forces.
The DLVO theory treats the total interaction force between two surfaces in a liquid medium as an arithmetic sum of two components: Lifshitz-van der Waals and electric double layer forces. Despite the success of the DLVO model developed for homogeneous surfaces, a vast majority of surfaces of particles and materials in technological systems are of a heterogeneous nature with a mosaic structure c...
