Formation and destruction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon clusters in the interstellar medium [PDF]
The competition between the formation and destruction of coronene clusters under interstellar conditions is investigated theoretically. The unimolecular nucleation of neutral clusters is simulated with an atomic model combining an explicit classical ...

Theoretical study of intramolecular vibrational relaxation of acetylenic CH vibration for v=1 and 2 in large polyatomic molecules (CX3)3YCCH, where X=H or D and Y=C or Si [PDF]
Quantum calculations are reported for the intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution and absorption spectra of the first two excited states of the acetylenic CH stretch vibration in the polyatomic molecules (CX3)3YCCH, where X=H or D and Y=C or Si.

Shigella IpaA mediates actin bundling through diffusible vinculin oligomers with activation imprint
Summary: Upon activation, vinculin reinforces cytoskeletal anchorage during cell adhesion. Activating ligands classically disrupt intramolecular interactions between the vinculin head and tail domains that bind to actin filaments.

Intramolecular Force Contrast and Dynamic Current-Distance Measurements at Room Temperature [PDF]
Scanning probe microscopy can be used to probe the internal atomic structure of flat organic molecules. This technique requires an unreactive tip and has, until now, been demonstrated only at liquid helium and liquid nitrogen temperatures. We demonstrate intramolecular and intermolecular force contrast at room temperature on PTCDA molecules adsorbed on

Molecular modeling of intermolecular and intramolecular excluded volume interactions for polymers at interfaces [PDF]
A hybrid modeling approach is proposed for inhomogeneous polymer solutions. The method is illustrated for the depletion problem with polymer chains up to N=103 segments in semidilute solutions and good solvent conditions. In a three-dimensional volume, a

Patterning-mediated supramolecular assembly of lipids into nanopalms
Summary: At nanoconfined interfaces, a micellar ink of lipids was programmed to transform into various secondary structures such as discs, sheets, or sheet and discs via patterning-mediated self-assembly facilitated by polymer pen lithography ...

Linear response of a grafted semiflexible polymer to a uniform force field [PDF]
We use the worm-like chain model to analytically calculate the linear response of a grafted semiflexible polymer to a uniform force field. The result is a function of the bending stiffness, the temperature, the total contour length, and the orientation ...

In all of the classical force fields, electrostatic interaction is simply treated and explicit electronic polarizability is neglected. The condensed-phase polarization, relative to the gas-phase charge distributions, is commonly accounted for in an ...
