Light absorption by the visual pigment rhodopsin leads to vision via a complex signal transduction pathway that is initiated by the ultrafast and highly efficient photoreaction of its chromophore, the retinal protonated Schiff base (RPSB). Here, we investi ...
We present mol. dynamics simulations of bovine rhodopsin in a membrane mimetic environment based on the recently refined x-ray structure of the pigment. The interactions between the protonated Schiff base and the protein moiety are explored both with the c ...
The structure of the title compound, [La(C5H6O4)(C5H7O4)(H2O)] . H2O, consists of dense layers formed by chains of one-edge-sharing LaO9 (H2O) polyhedra, linked together by the glutarate ligand. The three-dimensional polymeric structure, built up through c ...
he structure and dynamics of the surrounding water were studied through molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for several GdIII polyaminocarboxylate and polyaminophosphonate complexes in aqueous solution. The radial distribution functions (rdf) show that a f ...
Information on the temporal order, the kinetics, and the energetics of each of the reaction intermediates is required in order to fully elucidate the mechanism of catalytic interaction of G proteins with their receptors. Intrinsic monitors, such as light s ...
Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films have been thermally annealed at temperatures in the range 220-270 °C for 24-48 h either under intense visible light illumination (4-16 W/cm2) or in the dark. After each annealing, the hydrogen-concentration pro ...
To investigate the mechanism of structural changes of a peptide nanotube and water confined inside the channel, the helical peptide tryptophylglycine monohydrate (WG-H2O) was studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using the three-dimension parallel ...
