Hydrophobic interactions control the self-assembly of DNA and cellulose

Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics (print), 2021
Desoxyribosenucleic acid, DNA, and cellulose molecules self-assemble in aqueous systems. This aggregation is the basis of the important functions of these biological macromolecules.

Catalytic polymeric nanoreactors : more than a solid supported catalyst [PDF]

, 2012
Polymeric nanostructures can be synthesized where the catalytic motif is covalently attached within the core domain and protected from the environment by a polymeric shell.

How to combine a hydrophobic matrix and a hydrophilic filler without adding a compatibilizer – Co-grinding enhances use properties of renewable PLA-starch composites [PDF]

, 2012
In order to avoid the use of compatibilizers or plasticizers, co-grinding was performed to produce PLA – starch composite materials. Fragmentation and agglomeration phenomena were analysed to propose a production mechanism.

Surface tension of electrolytes: Hydrophilic and hydrophobic ions near an interface

, 2008
We calculate the ion distributions around an interface in fluid mixtures of highly polar and less polar fluids (water and oil) for two and three ion species. We take into account the solvation and image interactions between ions and solvent. We show that

The net electrostatic potential and hydration of ABCG2 affect substrate transport

Nature Communications, 2023
ABCG2 is a medically important ATP-binding cassette transporter with crucial roles in the absorption and distribution of chemically-diverse toxins and drugs, reducing the cellular accumulation of chemotherapeutic drugs to facilitate multidrug resistance ...

Water structuring and collagen adsorption at hydrophilic and hydrophobic silicon surfaces

, 2009
The adsorption of a collagen fragment on both a hydrophobic, hydrogen-terminated and a hydrophilic, natively oxidised Si surface is investigated using all-atom molecular dynamics. While favourable direct protein-surface interactions via localised contact

Local Interactions in Aqueous Ethanol Solution Revealed by the C=O Stretching Probe

Molecules
Accurately identifying local interactions such as hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity is of critical importance in regulating the functions of amphiphilic biomolecules, but in situ identification methods for such interactions are still lacking.

Nanodroplets on rough hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces

, 2008
We present results of Molecular Dynamics (MD) calculations on the behavior of liquid nanodroplets on rough hydrophobic and hydrophilic solid surfaces. On hydrophobic surfaces, the contact angle for nanodroplets depends strongly on the root mean square ...
