The concept of “mobile” and “immobile” fluid regions (as incorporated in the Two-Region Model, TRM) is often used in the governing equation to model tailing in solute breakthrough curves (BTC). In this paper, we apply the TRM and its parent equation, the A ...
We demonstrate herein that human macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), a pro-inflammatory cytokine expressed in the brain and not previously considered to be amyloidogenic, forms amyloid fibrils similar to those derived from the disease associated ...
Two mutations in the alpha-synuclein gene (A30P and A53T) have been linked to autosomal dominant early-onset Parkinson's disease (PD). Both mutations promote the formation of transient protofibrils (prefibrillar oligomers), suggesting that protofibrils are ...
This paper describes the synthesis and supramolecular organization of two novel hybrid diblock copolymers based on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and peptide sequences inspired by the coiled coil protein folding motif. The self-organization of the diblock cop ...
Polyelectrolyte complex membrane formation has been studied, online, using the synthetic boundary technique of an Optima XL-I anal. ultracentrifuge. This recent method, established by the first author, has now been evaluated concerning its sensitivity to m ...
A variety of extracellular ligands and pathogens interact with raft domains in the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells. In this study, we examined the role of lipid rafts and raft-associated glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins in the proce ...
Unstable flow can result in the formation of fingers during infiltration into dry soil. Centrifuge modeling is a potentially useful tool to study the relationship between finger size, spacing, and velocity. It can also be used to investigate solute transpo ...
This report describes the aqueous solution self-assembly of a series of polystyrenem-b-poly(L-lysine)n block copolymers (m = 8-10; n = 10-70). The polymers are prepared by ring-opening polymerization of e-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysine AT-carboxyanhydride usin ...
A review with 9 refs. Description of polyelectrolyte complex formation by anal. ultracentrifugation, exptl. detection of membrane formation, and study of membrane formation are introduced. [on SciFinder (R)] ...
Centrifuge experiments modeling single-phase flow in prototype porous media typically use the same porous medium and permeant. Then, well-known scaling laws are used to transfer the results to the prototype. More general scaling laws that relax these restr ...
