Reinforced molecular recognition as an alternative to rigid receptors [PDF]
, 2006 In theory, a perfectly rigid receptor will probably be an unbeatable binder. However, rigidity may not be easy to achieve in practice and it is certainly not Nature’s method to realise high affinity. In many proteins binding affinity is increased through

Conformational Entropy as a Means to Control the Behavior of Poly(diketoenamine) Vitrimers In and Out of Equilibrium. [PDF]
, 2020 Control of equilibrium and non-equilibrium thermomechanical behavior of poly(diketoenamine) vitrimers is shown by incorporating linear polymer segments varying in molecular weight (MW) and conformational degrees of freedom into the dynamic covalent ...

Covalent Adaptable Networks Based on Dynamic Alkoxyamine Bonds
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, 2022 AbstractCovalent adaptable networks (CANs) introduce a new paradigm to polymer science, by making static network polymers dynamic and thereby recyclable, reprocessable, and self‐healing. The critical feature in CANs is the presence of dynamic covalent linkages within the network structure. A variety of such linkages are introduced into CANs, making the

Aqueous Amino Acids and Proteins Near the Surface of Gold in Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Force Fields [PDF]
, 2014 We calculate potentials of the mean force for twenty amino acids in the vicinity of the (111) surface of gold, for several dipeptides, and for some analogs of the side chains, using molecular dynamics simulations and the umbrella sampling method.

Role of covalent bond formation in morphology and properties of PP/PP-g-PS binary blends [PDF]
Polyolefins Journal, 2018 PP-g-PS copolymer is a typical compatilizer used in polypropylene and polystyrene immiscible blends. PP-g-PS copolymers with different side chain lengths were synthesized, and their thermal and mechanical properties were characterized by differential ...

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...
