Influence of nanoreactor environment and substrate location on the activity of horseradish peroxidase in olive oil based water-in-oil microemulsions
(2011)
Oxidative enzymatic reactions using horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were carried out in water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsions composed of olive oil/lecithin/1-propanol/water, a model biomimetic system. The substrates used (gallic ...
Vibrational sum frequency generation spectroscopic investigation of the interaction of thiocyanate ions with zwitterionic phospholipid monolayers at the air-water interface
(2009)
Thiocyanate (SCN-) is a highly chaotropic anion of considerable biological significance, which interacts quite strongly with lipid interfaces. In most cases it is not exactly known if this interaction involves direct binding ...
Normal and defective perylene substitution sites in alkane crystals
(2001)
The substitution nature of perylene in polycrystalline solid alkane matrices was examined. Low temperature excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy was used to determine substitution sites in alkane matrices from hexane to ...
Monte Carlo algorithms for the atomistic simulation of condensed polymer phases
(1995)
Significant progress has been made recently in the field of atomistic simulation of polymer melts through the advent of new powerful Monte Carlo methods. This article reviews the state of the art in the area. Sampling the ...
Surprising effects of polymer-surfactant solutions on inorganic crystallization processes
(2001)
Polymer-surfactant solutions, in which the surfactant molecules interact strongly with the polymer chains forming polymerbound micelles above the critical association concentration, are used as media for inorganic precipitation ...
Gold colloids from cationic surfactant solutions. 1. Mechanisms that control particle morphology
(2002)
The mechanism of formation of gold particles by reduction of AuIII in solutions of alcyltrimethylammonium chloride surfactants was studied in the absence and in the presence of NaCl. AuIII anions interact strongly with ...
From beads-on-a-string to colloidal aggregation: novel crystallization phenomena in the PEO-SDS system
(1999)
The anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) interacts strongly with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) in aqueous solution, forming micellar aggregates attached to the polymer chains above the so-called critical association ...
The Mechanism of Spectral Shift and Inhomogeneous Broadening of an Aromatic Chromophore in a Polymer Glass
(1995)
We have attempted to obtain microscopic-level understanding of the absorption band of the chromophore s-tetrazine in a glassy polymer matrix (atactic polypropylene) at low temperatures. Our investigation has focused on the ...
Monte carlo methodologies for enhanced configurational sampling of dense systems: Motion of a spherical solute in a polymer melt as a model problem
(1994)
A number of traditional and novel Monte Carlo (MC) methodologies for configurational sampling in condensed phases are studied. The stochastic motion of a spherical solute molecule in a melt of short polyethylene chains is ...
Chaotropic salts interacting with soft matter: Beyond the lyotropic series
(2016)
The effects of the chaotropic ions of the Hofmeister series on many systems and phenomena are typically quite pronounced. What happens, however, when one uses chaotropic ions beyond SCN−, ClO4 −, or guanidinium, which are ...
