Linear aggregation beyond isodesmic symmetry.
نویسنده
چکیده
Exactly solvable models of linear aggregation have been known since Ising's seminal one-dimensional model. This model is defined by a unique nearest-neighbor bond strength that is independent of the length of the cluster; known as isodesmic symmetry. Linear aggregation in real systems has often been associated with broken isodesmic symmetry. Here we show that important examples can be mapped to a class of one-dimensional models that are also exactly solvable.

On the Characterization of Intermediates in the Isodesmic Aggregation Pathway of Hen Lysozyme at Alkaline pH
Protein aggregation leading to formation of amyloid fibrils is a symptom of several diseases like Alzheimer's, type 2 diabetes and so on. Elucidating the poorly understood mechanism of such phenomena entails the difficult task of characterizing the species involved at each of the multiple steps in the aggregation pathway. It was previously shown by us that spontaneous aggregation of hen-eggwhit...
متن کاملAggregation behavior and chromonic liquid crystal properties of an anionic monoazo dye.
X-ray scattering and various optical techniques are utilized to study the aggregation process and chromonic liquid crystal phase of the anionic monoazo dye Sunset Yellow FCF. The x-ray results demonstrate that aggregation involves pi-pi stacking of the molecules into columns, with the columns undergoing a phase transition to an orientationally ordered chromonic liquid crystal phase at high dye ...

In this paper Lie point symmetries, Hamiltonian equations and conservation laws of general three-dimensional anisotropic non-linear sourceless heat transfer equation are investigated. First of all Lie symmetries are obtained by using the general method based on invariance condition of a system of differential equations under a prolonged vector field. Then the structure of symmetry ...
متن کاملSteric effects of the alkyl groups: evaluation on isolated molecules by means of isodesmic reactions.
Several possible scales of steric effects of the alkyl groups were suggested on the basis of isodesmic model reactions, in which a sterically crowded compound is formally synthesized from simpler derivatives. The reaction energies were calculated within the framework of the density functional theory at the level B3LYP/6-311+G(d.p)//B3LYP/6-311+G(d.p) for 6 model systems and 7 various alkyl grou...
متن کاملMeasurement scale in maximum entropy models of species abundance.
The consistency of the species abundance distribution across diverse communities has attracted widespread attention. In this paper, I argue that the consistency of pattern arises because diverse ecological mechanisms share a common symmetry with regard to measurement scale. By symmetry, I mean that different ecological processes preserve the same measure of information and lose all other inform...
