Working under confinement
We analyze the performance of a Brownian ratchet in the presence of geometrical constraints. A two-state model that describes the kinetics of molecular motors is used to characterize the energetic cost when the motor proceeds under confinement, in the presence of an external force. We show that the presence of geometrical constraints has a strong effect on the performance of the motor. In parti...
متن کاملMolecular Diffusion under Confinement
With reference to molecular transport in manifold media of porous structure, a survey is given on the ample spectrum of diffusion phenomena under confinement. The presentation is mainly based on the evidence provided by pulsed field gradient NMR and by interference and IR microscopy. These "microscopic" techniques of diffusion measurement are particularly powerful for exploring the diverse feat...
متن کاملPolymer Conformation under Confinement
The conformation of polymer chains under confinement is investigated in intercalated polymer/layered silicate nanocomposites. Hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide)/sodium montmorillonite, PEO/Na+-MMT, hybrids were prepared utilizing melt intercalation with compositions where the polymer chains are mostly within the ~1 nm galleries of the inorganic material. The polymer chains are completely amorphou...
متن کاملLiquid Spreading under Nanoscale Confinement.
Dynamic atomic force microscopy in the noncontact regime is used to study the morphology of a nonvolatile liquid (squalane) as it spreads along wettable nanostripes embedded in a nonwettable surface. Results show that the liquid profile depends on the amount of lateral confinement imposed by the nanostripes, and it is truncated at the microscopic contact line in good qualitative agreement with ...
متن کاملCommunication: folding of glycosylated proteins under confinement.
Conjugating flexible polymers (such as oligosaccharides) to proteins or confining a protein in a restricted volume often increases protein thermal stability. In this communication, we investigate the interplay between conjugation and confinement which is not trivial as the magnitude and the mechanism of stabilization are different in each instance. Using coarse-grained computational approach th...
