چکیده

We study by first-principles molecular dynamics the mechanism of electron hole (positive charge) localization in a laboratory realizable radical cation Z DNA crystal. We find that at room temperature structural deformation does not provide an efficient localization mechanism. Instead, we find evidence for the importance of changes in the protonation state for stabilizing the radical defect.

First Principles Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Solution

We summarize the preliminary results concerning the hydration structure of trivalent rare-earth ions and the charge localization process in DNA fibers obtained during this fiscal year using a first principles molecular dynamics approach. In the first case, we demonstrated that the free energy surface obtained using the metadynamics based on the Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics for the hydratio...

Effects of Structure and Partially Localization of the π Electron Clouds of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes on the Cation-π Interactions

A C102H30 graphene sheet has been rolled up to construct Single-Walled Carbon NanoTube Fragments (SWCNTFs) as parts of armchair carbon nanotubes by computational quantum chemistry methods. Non-covalent cation-π interactions of the Na+ cation on the central rings of SWCNTFs have investigated. The binding energies of the Na+-SWCNTF complexes versus ...

Localization of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 DNA in Latently Infected BALB/c Mice Neurons Using in situ Polymerase Chain Reaction

Background: Herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) establishes a lifelong latent infection in neurons following primary infection. The existence of latent HSV-1 DNA in the trigeminal ganglia of infected BALB/c mice was examined using a direct in situ PCR technique, based on Digoxigenin-11-dUTP detection system with anti-digoxigenin-peroxidase and 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) substrate. Methods: Eig...

Comparing Two Electrospinning Methods in Producing Polyacrylonitrile Nanofibrous Tubular Structures with Enhanced Properties

Polyacrylonitrile nanofibrous tubular structures were produced through typical and opposite charge electrospinning methods and the effect of the method as well as the two key electrospinning parameters, namely concentration of the electrospinning polymer solution and rotational speed of mandrel collector on properties of such tubular structures were studied. The smples were characterized by...
