We present in this article an original approach to compute the electrophoretic mobility of rigid nucleo-protein complexes like nucleosomes. This model allows us to address theoretically the influence of complex position along DNA, as well as wrapped length of DNA on the electrophoretic mobility of the complex. The predictions of the model are in qualitative agreement with experimental results o...

Positively charged ions were produced in supercritical helium at temperatures from 6 to 10 K and up to 2 MPa using a corona discharge. Their mobility was measured via current-voltage curves, and the hydrodynamic radius was derived using Stokes law. An initial increase and subsequent decrease of hydrodynamic radius was observed and interpreted in terms of growth, compression and solidification o...

Highly purified, concentrated foot-and-mouth disease virus, type A, was homogeneous and monodisperse by carrier-free zone electrophoresis in a glucose density gradient. Virus mobilities in veronal-acetate buffer, pH 8.6 and ionic strength 0.1, were identical whether determined by infectivity or optical methods. Low passage calf-kidney virus had a significantly higher mobility, 3.28 x 10 ~ 5 cm2...

A molecular simulation study is reported on glucose recovery from aqueous solutions by adsorption in metal-organic framework MIL-101. The F atom of MIL-101 is identified to be the most favorable adsorption site. Among three MIL-101-X (X = H, NH2 or CH3), the parent MIL-101 exhibits the highest adsorption capacity and recovery efficacy. Upon functionalization by -NH2 or -CH3 group, the steric hi...

Nanofiltration of a solution containing four monovalent ions has been carried out to assess the Donnan steric and dielectrical exclusion pore model (DSDE-PM). The sequences of the ions rejections were Li > Cl > IO3 > K and IO3 > K > Li > Cl when membrane was positive or negative charged, respectively. Several types of ionic radii were implemented either in the interfaces equilibrium or in trans...

This paper deals with the notion of ion condensation for spherical colloids and, more specifically, with a recent model developed to predict effective charges (Y. Levin, M. C. Barbosa, and M. N. Tamashiro, Europhys. Lett. 41, 123, 1998). Electrophoretic mobility measurements (carried out for a set of well-characterized latexes) were used to find out to what extent this theory is able to account...

objectives: it is important to recognize any risk factors for the development of injuries in the athletic population. the aim of this study was to investigate the association between joint hyper mobility and low back pain in iranian hyper mobile and non-hyper mobile athletes. methods: 50 athletic patients with low back pain (age=23.20±12.79 years) and 51 healthy athletes (age=24.28±13.70) from ...

The objective of this work was to evaluate the transport of Escherichia coli cells in undisturbed cores of a brown leached soil collected at La Côte St André (France). Two undisturbed soil cores subjected to repeated injections of bacterial cells and/or bromide tracer were used to investigate the effect of soil hydrodynamics and ionic strength on cell mobility. Under the tested experimental con...

Internal cation mobility ratios in molten (Ca, Ba)Cl2 have been measured by the Klemm method for xBa (mole fraction of barium chloride) = 0.25 0.51 at 973 K and xBa = 0 0.61 at 1073 K. From these and available data on the densities and conductivities the internal cation mobilities b have been calculated, assuming additivity of the molar volume. Although bCa in pure CaCl2 is greater than bBa in ...

The nature of the ordinary gaseous ion appears today to be as far from a definite solution as it was in 1909 when Wellischl and Sutherland2 independently put forward the small ion theory as a possible alternative to the then generally accepted cluster ion theory. While at different times it has been thought that various critical experiments -decided the question in one way or another the writer...
