We perform first-principles molecular dynamics of liquid oxygen in which the magnetic structure evolves according to a generalized density-functional scheme allowing for noncollinear spin configurations. We investigate both structural correlations between ...
Analogues of the opioid peptides [D-Phe(3)]morphiceptin (H-Tyr-Pro-D-Phe-Pro-NH2) and endomorphin-2 (H-Tyr-Pro-Phe-Phe-NH2) containing the pseudoproline (Psi Pro) (4R)-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (CyS[Psi (R1,R2) pro]) or (4S)-oxazolidine-4-carboxylic a ...
Molecular events such as cis/trans isomerization of Xaa-Pro tertiary amide bonds in peptides and proteins are slow on the overall time scale of the formation of a final biostructure and are, therefore rate limiting. In order to pursue a better understandin ...
The choice of an adequate actuation method is a central issue in the development of any mechatronic device and strongly determines the dynamic performances of the system. This choice is particularly difficult for robotic systems working within a magnetic r ...
Molecular systems designed for the conversion of solar energy offer ideal models in the study of the kinetics of light-induced electron transfer at surfaces. Due to their high porosity, nanocrystalline oxide semiconductor films allow investigations of inte ...
The pi-stacking between aromatic oligomers has been extensively studied for many years, although the notion of exploiting this phenomenon as the driving force for molecular actuation has only recently emerged. In this work we examine with MP2 and Car-Parri ...
The molecular complex [Re(equivalent toC(t)Bu)(=(CHBu)-Bu-t)((CH2Bu)-Bu-t)2] (1) reacts with a silica partially dehydroxylated at 700 degreesC to give syn-2, [(equivalent toSiO)Re(equivalent toC(t)Bu)(=(CHBu)-Bu-t)((CH2Bu)-Bu-t)], as a single isomer accord ...
The conformational analysis of a series of configurational isomers of 2-(hydroxymethyl)azepan-3,4,5,6-tetrols 1-4 has been carried out. H-1 NMR spectroscopic data, especially vicinal J couplings and nuclear Overhauser enhancements (NOE), assisted by molecu ...
