组分混合磷脂球胶束化动力学

两亲性磷脂分子能够形成各种不同形态的胶束,其结构形成不仅依赖于磷脂分子结构和组成,还依赖于两亲性分子的自组装路径. 本工作采用粗粒化分子动力学方法模拟研究了二棕榈酰磷脂酰胆碱(DPPC)与十六烷基磷酸胆碱(HPC)混合磷脂球胶束化行为. 通过调节DPPC/HPC的组分比例和磷脂球尺寸,观察到多种不同胶束结构形成,例如：球形和非球形(扁平或长椭球)囊泡、盘形胶束、单环或双环胶束和蠕虫状胶束. 研究发现,由于原位胶束化作用,采用磷脂球作为初始态有利于形成囊泡和环形拓扑结构胶束. 模拟结果表明,结合初始态结构设定同时调节磷脂分子组成是一种有效调控磷脂胶束结构的方法.     

萘酞菁LB膜取向液晶研究

利用二(3-叔丁基硅氧基)萘酞菁硅 (SiNc) Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) 膜对丝状液晶的定向进行了研究,发现在不同膜压下沉积的SiNc LB膜具有不同的定向效果.在15mN/m低膜压下沉积的LB膜上丝状液晶主要呈沿膜面水平排列,而30mN/m高膜压下沉积的LB膜则取垂直膜面取向.原子力显微镜(AFM)对相应的LB单层膜和多层膜进行的分子尺度上的形貌研究发现,高膜压条件下SiNc分子以分离的单体或聚集体形式非连续地在基片上呈线性堆积排列,形成一定的分子“纳米线”,并且大环平面垂直于基片 关键词：     

磷脂酰胆碱SUV的NMR研究

磷脂酰胆碱(PC)是人和动物血液中大量存在的一类具有重要生物功能的磷脂,它和鞘磷脂一起形成了不同大小的密度脂蛋白,对血液中胆固醇等分子的转运和代谢起着至关重要的作用.脂蛋白中磷脂的组成和形态变化与某些疾病,如动脉粥样硬化、癌症和老年痴呆等的发生和发展密切相关,因此研究磷脂的组成形态将有助于明确磷脂的生物化学作用.该文采用一维(1D)和二维(2D)NMR技术对PC所形成的SUV(small unilamellar vesicle)结构进行了分析,通过对PC磷脂头部氮甲基的检测分析,发现PC所形成的SUV为较为稳定的双层结构,这表明通常的磷脂脂蛋白可能是一种双层膜结构,而非通常所认为的单层结构.     

磷脂酰乙醇胺单分子膜的相变因素分析及原子力显微镜观测

通过π-A曲线(π:膜对浮片所施之力,A:单分子所占的面积)研究浓度、pH值、温度以及蔗糖对磷脂酰乙醇胺相变的影响.实验表明:(1)当浓度较高时,磷脂酰乙醇胺的π-A曲线随着浓度的增加重合性较好,平均分子面积和表面膜压有较好的对应.当浓度较低时,π-A曲线重合性较差,在低密度情况下,磷脂酰乙醇胺分子的排列不紧密,致使分子的随机运动对膜压的影响较大;(2)亚相处于较强的酸性或者碱性状态下均会使磷脂酰乙醇胺分子的相变变慢,pH值过高或过低都会对膜有较大的破坏作用;(3)当温度逐渐增大,而保持平均分子面积不变时,随着温度的增加,t-pa曲线(温度-膜压)逐渐由一条直线变成抛物线,这说明随着温度的增加磷脂酰乙醇胺凝聚膜会向液态扩张膜转变,即随着温度的增加相变延迟;(4)蔗糖对磷脂酰乙醇胺单分子膜有较强的稳定作用,且这种作用在生理条件下最为明显.用原子力显微镜直接观测了不同压力下转移至云母表面分子层的形貌特征,进一步解释了磷脂酰乙醇胺单分子膜相变的微观分子机制.     

拉曼光谱研究人参皂苷Rb1与DPPC双层膜的作用

为深入了解人参皂苷的分子药理学特性,阐明人参皂苷与细胞膜的作用机制,利用拉曼光谱从分子水平研究了不同浓度人参皂苷Rb1与DPPC(二棕榈酰磷脂酸胆碱)双层膜的作用.结果表明,人参皂苷Rb1没有改变DPPC的极性头部O-C-C-N+的稳定构象,极性头仍然平行于膜表面.并且,拉曼峰值比I1096/I1126/1096/I1062和I2848/I288/0随着药物浓度的增加而相应的变大,说明Rbl增加了烃链的无序度,增强了双层膜的流动性.由此推测该药物与DPPC的作用可能由于皂苷分子内及分子间的氢键与磷脂双层膜的极性头部相作用而停留在膜的表面.     

多聚赖氨酸诱导的负电性磷脂巨囊泡形变

Ftir Studies on LB Film of Amphiphile with Schiff Base as Headgroup and Its Copper Complex

Two different ways to form monolayers and LB films (surface film and subphase film) of the complex have been used, where a novel amphiphile containing Schiff base as a headgroup was used as a ligand. the monolayer behavior at the air/water interface was characterized by π-A isotherms and two-dimensional molecular orientation of alkyl chains in LB films and thermal stability were measured by polarized and variable temperature FTIR transmission spectra, indicating that the LB film of the novel amphiphile and its copper(II) complex are very stable as well as stearic acid. Because incorporating the metal ion into the monolayer makes it more condensed, thermal stability of the LB film was enhanced. as can be compared from their structure and properties, subphase films are superior to surface films.

Improved yield in molecular electronic devices using amino-style molecules

Molecular electronic devices were fabricated with amino-style derivatives as redox-active components. These molecules are amphiphilic to allow monolayer formation by the Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) method, and this LB monolayer is inserted between two metal electrodes. On measuring the current–voltage (I–V) characteristics, it was found that the Al/amino style LB monolayer/Al devices show remarkable hysteresis and switching behavior, so that they can be used as memory devices at ambient conditions, when an aluminum oxide layer exists on the bottom electrode. From the results of I–V measurements, we acquired values of the switching voltage and some large on/off ratios in the case of the ASBC-18 molecule. Also, we improved the yield of the molecular electronic device by reducing the area of the device and by inserting a Ti protecting layer between the top metal electrode and the amino style LB monolayer.     

Coherent transmission and angular structure of light scattering by monolayer films of polymer dispersed liquid crystals with inhomogeneous boundary conditions

We consider monolayer polymer films with oriented droplets of a nematic liquid crystal (LC). Relations for the coherent transmission coefficients of a layer of oriented ellipsoidal droplets and for the intensity of light scattered by monolayers of spherical and spheroidal droplets have been obtained. The amplitude-phase screen model and the interference approximation of the theory of multiple wave scattering have been used. To describe light scattering by an individual ellipsoidal droplet with inhomogeneous surface binding, we have developed an anomalous diffraction approximation. For monolayers of spherical LC droplets, the coherent scattering coefficients and the angular scattering structure have been analyzed. The internal structure of nematic droplets have been calculated by the relaxation method based on the solution of the minimization problem of the free energy volume density. We have studied basic regular features of light scattering by a monolayer with homogeneous and inhomogeneous boundary conditions at the LC-polymer interface. We show that, for films that contain droplets with inhomogeneous boundary conditions of the tangentially normal type, the angular structure of the scattered light is asymmetric with respect to the polar scattering angle.     

Domain structures of phospholipid monolayer Langmuir-Blodgett films determined by atomic force microscopy

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) has been used to show the formation of solid-phase domains from fluid-phase domains on compression of DiPalmitoyl-PhosphatidylCholine (DPPC) monolayer Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films. The chiral structures on the solid substrates were observed for the first time. By applying the friction force technique, we were able to distinguish the different regions of LB films according to their elastic properties. The influence of rates of compression on the domain shape as well as the microstructure within the domain were also studied.     

Orientation of a nematic liquid crystal by suitable boundary surfaces

The adsorption of a monolayer of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) on glass-slides allows the preparation of a monocrystal of p-n-methoxybenzilidene-p-butylaniline (MBBA) oriented either prependicularly to surfaces (homeotropic anchorage) or in a direction parallel to surfaces (planar anchorage). These orientations are dictated by the surface density and the structure of the adsorbed CTAB monolayers and confirm a model of orientation of a liquid crystal by physico-chemical coupling.     

Effects of surface concentration on the porphine monolayers: Molecular simulations at the nanoscale water-gas interface

The effect of surface concentration on the structure and stability of porphine (PH₂) monolayers at the water-gas interface was studied by using molecular dynamics simulation. Five monolayer systems having different surface concentrations were investigated in order to cover a full range of the experimental π-A isotherm. The simulation results show that increment of a number of the PH₂ molecules not only affects the significantly decreasing water density at the interface but also the monolayer surface tensions. The calculated surface tensions of the five systems indicate that the monolayer phase transfer corresponding to gaseous, expanded, condensed, and collapsed phases are observed. The hydrogen bonding between water and the PH₂ molecules at the interface plays an important role on the monolayer film formation, especially at the lower surface concentrations. The PH₂ orientations for all surface concentrations, except the highest one, are favored to be the β-structure as observed in the copper porphyrazine (CuPz) monolayer.     

Electronic structure,optical properties,and phonon transport in Janus monolayer PtSSe via first-principles study

Motivated by the synthesis of a Janus monolayer, the new PtSSe transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) have attracted remarkable attention due to their characteristic properties. In this work, we calculated the electronic structure, optical properties, and the thermal conductivity of the PtSSe monolayers, and performed a detailed comparison with other TMDs (monolayer PtS₂ and PtSe₂) using first-principles calculations. The calculated band gaps of the PtS₂, PtSSe, and PtSe₂ monolayers were 1.76, 1.38, and 1.21?eV, respectively, which are in good agreement with experimental data. At the same time, we observed a larger spin-orbit splitting in the electronic structure of PtSSe monolayers. The optical properties were also calculated and a significant red shift was observed from the PtS₂ to PtSSe to PtSe₂ monolayers. The lattice thermal conductivity of the PtSSe monolayer at room temperature (36.19?W/mK) is significantly lower than that of the PtS₂ monolayer (54.25?W/mK) and higher than that of the PtSe₂ monolayer (18.07?W/mK). Our results show that the PtSSe monolayer breaks structural symmetry and has the same ability to reduce the thermal conductivity as MoSSe and ZrSSe monolayers due to the shorter group velocity and the lower converged phonon scattering rate. These results may stimulate further studies on the electronic structure, optical properties, and thermal conductivity of the PtSSe monolayer in both experimental synthesis and theoretical efforts.     

CO chemisorption on two-dimensional cobalt clusters: A surface science approach to cluster chemistry

We have studied the CO chemisorption properties of small two-dimensional clusters (islands) and of monolayers and multilayers of cobalt deposited on Cu(100). The behaviour of one monolayer of cobalt is indistinguishable from the multilayers indicating weak influence of the copper support twoards the adsorption of CO. Below one monolayer of cobalt we observed the appearance of new peaks in the thermal desorption spectrum of CO related to the increasingly large number of edge atoms and small size of the cobalt islands. Of particular interest is the number of CO molecules bound per cobalt atom as a function of island size. This number was found to vary from 0.65, with the compression structure formed on the monolayer and multilayer cobalt coverages, up to approximately 3 when the cobalt coverage decreased to 0.002 monolayers.
