Aminosilanes are routinely employed for charge reversal or to create coupling layers on oxide surfaces. We present a chemical vapor deposition method to pattern mica surfaces with regions of high-quality aminosilane (3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, APTES) monolayers. The approach relies on the vapor deposition of an aminosilane through a patterned array of through-holes in a PDMS (poly(dimethylsi...

Benchmark full configuration interaction and equation-of-motion coupled-cluster model with single and double substitutions for ionized systems (EOM-IP-CCSD) results are presented for prototypical charge transfer species. EOM-IP-CCSD describes these doublet systems based on the closed-shell reference and thus avoids the doublet instability problem. The studied quantities are associated with the ...

The effects of amino acid substitutions on the product ion charge distributions for protonated and deprotonated homogeneous and heterogeneous multiprotein complexes in the gas phase are studied using Fourier-transform mass spectrometry and the blackbody infrared radiative dissociation technique. Notably, it is shown that a single amino acid substitution in the leaving subunit can cause a small ...

Surface potentials, tic, of mixtures of synthetic phosphatides dispersed in uni-univalent electrolyte have been calculated from the limiting molecular areas through use of the Gouy equation. Electrophoretic mobilities of the dispersed particles were measured and used to calculate { potentials from the Hehnholtz-Smoluchowski equation. In analogy with several structurally related systems, the rat...

Bacterial lipolytic enzymes were originally classified into eight different families defined by Arpigny and Jaeger (families I-VIII). Recently, the discovery of new lipolytic enzymes allowed for extending the original classification to fourteen families (I-XIV). We previously reported that G. thermodenitrificans EstGtA2 (access no. AEN92268) belonged to a novel group of bacterial lipolytic enzy...

The coronavirus membrane (M) protein carboxy tail interacts with the nucleocapsid during virus assembly. Previous studies demonstrated that the two terminal residues are important, and the charged residue (R227) in the penultimate position in the mouse hepatitis coronavirus (MHV) A59 M protein was suggested to participate in intermolecular interactions with negative charges in the nucleocapsid ...
