Homeotropic alignment of lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals using noncovalent interactions.
We report on the homeotropic alignment of lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals (LCLCs). Homeotropic anchoring of LCLCs is difficult to achieve, and this challenge has limited development of applications for LCLCs. In this work, homeotropic alignment is achieved using noncovalent interactions between the LCLC molecules and various alignment layers including graphene, parylene films, poly(methyl m...
متن کاملApplication of electrospray mass spectrometry in probing protein-protein and protein-ligand noncovalent interactions.
A novel mass spectrometry-based methodology using electrospray ionization (ESI) is described for the detection of protein-protein [interferon (IFN)-γ dimer] and protein-ligand [ras-guanosine diphosphate (GDP)] noncovalent interactions. The method utilizes ESI from aqueous solution at appropriate pH. The presence of the noncovalent complex of the IFN-γ dimer was confirmed by the observed average...
متن کاملReversal of charge selectivity in transmembrane protein pores by using noncovalent molecular adapters.
In this study, the charge selectivity of staphylococcal alpha-hemolysin (alphaHL), a bacterial pore-forming toxin, is manipulated by using cyclodextrins as noncovalent molecular adapters. Anion-selective versions of alphaHL, including the wild-type pore and various mutants, become more anion selective when beta-cyclodextrin (betaCD) is lodged within the channel lumen. By contrast, the negativel...
متن کاملNoncovalent Interactions in the Catechol Dimer
Noncovalent interactions play a significant role in a wide variety of biological processes and bio-inspired species. It is, therefore, important to have at hand suitable computational methods for their investigation. In this paper, we report on the contribution of dispersion and hydrogen bonds in both stacked and T-shaped catechol dimers, with the aim of delineating the respective role of these...
متن کاملUsing the Protein-protein Interaction Network to Identifying the Biomarkers in Evolution of the Oocyte
Background Oocyte maturity includes nuclear and cytoplasmic maturity, both of which are important for embryo fertilization. The development of oocyte is not limited to the period of follicular growth, and starts from the embryonic period and continues throughout life. In this study, for the purpose of evaluating the effect of the FSH hormone on the expression of genes, GEO access codes for this...
