Accepted Abstract Temperature-controlled Raman microscopy to study the phase behaviour of synthetic PEGylated lipids and nanovesicles The study of phase transitions in lipids is important for understanding various phenomena such as trans-membrane diffusion, vesicle formation and fusion as well as drug-and protein-membrane interactions. Several techniques have previously been employed to investi...
متن کاملSpectroscopy, Structural, and Optical Investigations of NiFe2O4 Ferrite
Ni ferrite crystalline material is synthesized using a sol-gel method at two different temperatures. The vibrational and stretching modes, crystalline phase, size distribution and morphology of the products are investigated via Raman back-scattering and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, XRD and FESEM, respectively. Vibrational modes of spinel ferrite are observed at Raman and FTIR...
متن کاملLipid-like Self-Assembling Peptide Nanovesicles for Drug Delivery
Amphiphilic self-assembling peptides are functional materials, which, depending on the amino acid sequence, the peptide length, and the physicochemical conditions, form a variety of nanostructures including nanovesicles, nanotubes, and nanovalves. We designed lipid-like peptides with an aspartic acid or lysine hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail composed of six alanines (i.e., ac-A6K-CONH2,...
متن کاملVibrational self-trapping in beta-sheet structures observed with femtosecond nonlinear infrared spectroscopy.
Self-trapping of NH-stretch vibrational excitations in synthetic beta-sheet helices is observed using femtosecond infrared pump-probe spectroscopy. In a dialanine-based beta-sheet helix, the transient-absorption change upon exciting the NH-stretch mode exhibits a negative absorption change at the fundamental frequency and two positive peaks at lower frequencies. These two induced-absorption pea...
متن کاملThe effect of halogen atoms at propanoate anion on thermo physical, vibrational spectroscopy, chemical reactivity, biological properties of morpholinium propionate Ionic Liquid
The morpholinium cation based ionic liquids are designed to evaluate the thermophysical, chemical reactivity, and biological activity. To estimate and design the bioactive ILs, propionate and trihalopropanoate were considered under theoretical study by Density Functional Theory (DFT). To make effect of halogens atom on anion, propionate, trifluro propionate, trichloro propionate, and tribromo p...
