Membrane Activity of a DNA-Based Ion Channel Depends on the Stability of Its Double-Stranded Structure

Diana Kornelia Morzy, Himanshu Joshi

DNA nanotechnology has emerged as a promising method for designing spontaneously inserting and fully controllable synthetic ion channels. However, both insertion efficiency and stability of existing DNA-based membrane channels leave much room for improveme ...

Depletion Effect-mediated Association of Carbon Nanotube-Polymer Composites and Their Application as Inexpensive Electrode Support Materials

Paul Joseph Dyson, Zhangjun Huang

The association between carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and polymers to afford functional composites has been attributed to enthalpic interactions, neglecting the entropic depletion effect, in which bound solvents are released during the association process. Here, ...

Self-Assembly at Water Nanodroplet Interfaces Quantified with Nonlinear Light Scattering

Sylvie Roke, Nikolay Smolentsev

The interfaces of water micro- and nanodroplets drive environmental, medical, catalytic, biological, and chemical biphasic processes. The interfacial droplet structure and electrostatics greatly determine the reactivity and efficiency of these processes. D ...

On the stability and necessary electrophoretic mobility of bare oil nanodroplets in water

Sylvie Roke, Saranya Pullanchery Sankara Narayanan, Halil Ibrahim Okur, Hilton Barbosa De Aguiar, Sergey Kulik

Hydrophobic oil droplets, particles, and air bubbles can be dispersed in water as kinetically stabilized dispersions. It has been established since the 19th century that such objects harbor a negative electrostatic potential roughly twice larger than the t ...

Effect of solute-solute interactions on strengthening of random alloys from dilute to high entropy alloys

William Curtin, Shankha Nag

The yield strength of random metal alloys, i.e. alloys with random occupation of the crystalline lattice sites by the elemental constituent atoms all considered as solutes, is primarily understood as controlled by solute/dislocation interactions. Solute-so ...

The Diverse Nature of Ion Speciation at the Nanoscale Hydrophobic/Water Interface

Sylvie Roke, Halil Ibrahim Okur, Evangelia Zdrali

Many biological systems are composed of nanoscale structures having hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups adjacent to one another and in contact with aqueous electrolyte solution. The interaction of ions with such structures is of fundamental importance. Alth ...

An Isoprene Lipid-Binding Protein Promotes Eukaryotic Coenzyme Q Biosynthesis

Matteo Dal Peraro, Deniz Aydin

The biosynthesis of coenzyme Q presents a paradigm for how cells surmount hydrophobic barriers in lipid biology. In eukaryotes, CoQ precursors-among nature's most hydrophobic molecules-must somehow be presented to a series of enzymes peripherally associate ...
