The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Influence of anchoring in AFLC cells: Electro optical scanning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Antiferroelectric liquid crystals have gained a lot of interest in the last few years. In the case of ferroelectric liquid crystals, it is generally assumed that in a confined geometry the surface only has a minimal influence on the bulk when the ...

Hydrodynamics of polar liquid crystals

open access: yes, 2006
Starting from a microscopic definition of an alignment vector proportional to the polarization, we discuss the hydrodynamics of polar liquid crystals with local $C_{\infty v}$-symmetry.

Fluctuating Interfaces in Liquid Crystals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We review and compare recent work on the properties of fluctuating interfaces between nematic and isotropic liquid-crystalline phases. Molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations have been carried out for systems of ellipsoids and hard rods with ...

Nanomaterials in Liquid Crystals as Ion-Generating and Ion-Capturing Objects

open access: yesCrystals, 2018
The majority of tunable liquid crystal devices are driven by electric fields. The performance of such devices can be altered by the presence of small amounts of ions in liquid crystals.

Optical Multiplexing Anti-Counterfeiting Film Based on Self-Assembled and Holography Lithographic Photonic Architectures

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2022
Multiplexing anti-counterfeiting technologies based on micro/nano structural colors of photonic crystals have been proposed for information security because of unduplicability and diversity.

ON LIQUID CRYSTALS AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPERSIONS

open access: yesAnnals of the Academy of Romanian Scientists Series on Physics and Chemistry, 2022
This short review paper presents some important aspects ofliquid crystal and liquid crystal composites. Preparation methods ofpolymer dispersed liquid crystalfdms (PDLC), the obtained structure and their main application as light valve are shown. In the last decade, the field has experienced a sharp revitalization, due to nanodoping, which results in ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Modeling Smectic Layers in Confined Geometries: Order Parameter and Defects

open access: yes, 2014
We identify problems with the standard complex order parameter formalism for smectic-A (SmA) liquid crystals, and discuss possible alternative descriptions of smectic order.
