Molecular Dynamics Simulations of the Interior of Aqueous Reverse Micelles
Aqueous reverse micelles, which are surfactant aggregates in nonpolar solvents that enclose packets of aqueous solution, have been widely studied experimentally and theoretically, but much remains unknown about the properties of water in the interior. The few previous molecular dynamics simulations of reverse micelles have not examined how the micelle size affects these properties. We have mode...
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 کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of AOT-water/formamide reverse micelles: structural and dynamical properties.
We present results from molecular dynamics simulations performed on reverse micelles immersed in cyclohexane. Three different inner polar phases are considered: water (W), formamide (FM), and an equimolar mixture of the two solvents. In all cases, the surfactant was sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (usually known as AOT). The initial radii of the micelles were R approximately 15 A, while...
متن کاملStochastic Simulations of the Synthesis of Nanocrystals in Reverse Micelles
In the past decade, semiconductor nanoparticles have attracted much attention arising from the fundamental scientific interest in understanding the transition of material properties from the bulk to molecular-like clusters and their potential applications. The main issue in the preparation of semiconductor nanocrystals is a careful control of particle size and, even more important, their size d...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of cytochrome c unfolding in AOT reverse micelles: The first steps.
This paper explores the reduced form of horse cytochrome c confined in reverse micelles (RM) of sodium bis-(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) in isooctane by molecular dynamics simulation. RMs of two sizes were constructed at a water content of W (o) = [ H₂O ]/[AOT] = 5.5 and 9.1. Our results show that the protein secondary structure and the heme conformation both depend on micellar hydration....
