Cooperative Dynamics in Unentangled Polymer Fluids [PDF]
We present a Generalized Langevin Equation for the dynamics of interacting semiflexible polymer chains, undergoing slow cooperative dynamics. The calculated Gaussian intermolecular center-of-mass and monomer potentials, wich enter the GLE, are in quantitative agreement with computer simulation data.

On the Helix-coil Transition in Alanine-based Polypeptides in Gas Phase [PDF]
Using multicanonical simulations, the authors study the effect of charged end groups on helix formation in alanine based polypeptides. They confirm earlier reports that neutral polyalanine exhibits a pronounced helix-coil transition in gas phase simulations.

Characterization of Inter- and Intramolecular Interactions of Amyloid Fibrils by AFM-Based Single-Molecule Force Spectroscopy [PDF]
Amyloids are fibrous protein aggregates defined by shared specific structural features. Abnormal accumulation of amyloid in organs leads to amyloidosis, which results in various neurodegenerative diseases.

Tetrahedrality, hydrogen bonding and the density anomaly of the central force water model. A Monte Carlo study [PDF]
Monte Carlo computer simulations in the canonical and grand canonical statistical ensemble were used to explore the properties of the central force (CF1) water model.

Nonlinear Elasticity of Single Collapsed Polyelectrolytes [PDF]
Nonlinear elastic responses of short and stiff polyelectrolytes are investigated by dynamic simulations on a single molecule level. When a polyelectrolyte condensate undergoes a mechanical unfolding, two types of force-extension curves, i.e., a force plateau and a stick-release pattern, are observed depending on the strength of the electrostatic ...

Vibrational Assignments and Intramolecular Force Field of Trimethylaluminum [PDF]
Abstract A vacuum infrared cell for reactive or intermediate species has been devised by the use of polyethylene sheets as optical windows. The infrared spectra in the 4000–3100cm−1, 2500–1500 cm−1, 1250–750 cm−1 and 700–65 cm−1 regions can be measured with this liquid cell.

Pauli's Principle in Probe Microscopy [PDF]
Exceptionally clear images of intramolecular structure can be attained in dynamic force microscopy through the combination of a passivated tip apex and operation in what has become known as the "Pauli exclusion regime" of the tip-sample interaction. We discuss, from an experimentalist's perspective, a number of aspects of the exclusion principle which ...

The SAFT-γ Mie group-contribution equation of state [ Papaioannou J. Chem. Phys. 2014 , 140 , 054107 ] is used to develop a transferable coarse-grained (CG) force-field suitable for the molecular simulation of linear alkanes.

Intramolecular coupling of terminal alkynes by atom manipulation [PDF]
Glaser-like coupling of terminal alkynes by thermal activation is extensively used in on-surface chemistry. Here we demonstrate an intramolecular version of this reaction performed by atom manipulation. We used voltage pulses from the tip to trigger a Glaser-like coupling between terminal alkyne carbons within a custom synthesized precursor molecule ...
