Energy spectra for decaying 2D turbulence in a bounded domain 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We use results derived in the framework of the replica approach to study the liquid-glass thermodynamic transition. The main results are derived without using replicas and applied to the study of the Lennard-Jones binary mixture introduced by Kob and Andersen. We find that there is a phase transition due to the entropy crisis. We compute both analytically and numerically the value of the phase transition point T(K) and the specific heat in the low temperature phase. 相似文献

The effects of changes in the loading rate during the forced dissociation of single bonds have been studied for a wide variety of interactions. Less is known on the loading rate dependent behaviour of more complex systems that consist of multiple bonds. Here we focus on viral nanoparticles, in particular the protein shell (capsid) that protects the viral genome. As model systems we use the well-studied capsids of the plant virus Cowpea Chlorotic Mottle Virus (CCMV) and of the bacteriophages φ29 and HK97. By applying an atomic force microscopy (AFM) nanoindentation approach we study the loading rate dependency of their mechanical properties. Our AFM results show very diverse behaviour for the different systems. In particular, we find that not only the breaking force, but also the spring constant of some capsids depend on the loading rate. We describe and compare the measured data with simulation results from the literature. The unexpected complex loading rate dependencies that we report present a challenge for the current theoretical considerations aimed at understanding the molecular level interactions of highly ordered protein assemblies. 相似文献

We report a combined theoretical and experimental study of the structural failure of viral shells under mechanical stress. We find that discontinuities in the force-indentation curve associated with failure should appear when the so-called F?ppl-von Kármán (FvK) number exceeds a critical value. A nanoindentation study of a viral shell subject to a soft-mode instability, where the stiffness of the shell decreases with increasing pH, confirms the predicted onset of failure as a function of the FvK number. 相似文献

Editorial Comment Last month we presented, as a Special Feature, a set of five articles that constituted a Commentary on the fundamentals and mechanism of electrospray ionization (ESI). These articles produced some lively discussion among the authors on the role of electrochemistry in ESI. Six authors participated in a detailed exchange of views on this topic, the final results of which constitute this month's Special Feature. We particularly hope that younger scientists will find value in this month's Special Feature, not only for the science that it teaches but also what it reveals about the processes by which scientific conclusions are drawn. To a degree, the contributions part the curtains on these processes and show science in action. We sincerely thank the contributors to this discussion. The give and take of intellectual debate is not always easy, and to a remarkable extent this set of authors has maintained good humor and friendships, even when disagreeing strongly on substance.

A survey of derivatization strategies and prospective derivatization reactions for conversion of simple alkenes and alkynes to 'electrospray-active' species is presented. General synthetic strategies are discussed and illustrative examples of prospective derivatives prepared from model compounds are presented along with their electrospray ionization (ES) mass spectra. The identified derivatives of these neutral, nonpolar analytes are either ionic or are ionizable in solution through Bronsted acid/base chemistry, by Lewis acid/base chemistry, or by chemical or electrochemical electron-transfer chemistry. Once ionized, the derivatives are expected to be amenable to detection by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry. Derivatives are identified for positive and negative ion analysis of both alkenes and alkynes. Copyright 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Complexity and heterogeneity are common denominators of the many molecular events taking place inside the cell. Single-molecule techniques are important tools to quantify the actions of biomolecules. Heterogeneous interactions between multiple proteins, however, are difficult to study with these technologies. One solution is to integrate optical trapping with micro-fluidics and single-molecule fluorescence microscopy. This combination opens the possibility to study heterogeneous/complex protein interactions with unprecedented levels of precision and control. It is particularly powerful for the study of DNA-protein interactions as it allows manipulating the DNA while at the same time, individual proteins binding to it can be visualized. In this work, we aim to illustrate several published and unpublished key results employing the combination of fluorescence microscopy and optical tweezers. Examples are recent studies of the structural properties of DNA and DNA-protein complexes, the molecular mechanisms of nucleo-protein filament assembly on DNA and the motion of DNA-bound proteins. In addition, we present new results demonstrating that single, fluorescently labeled proteins bound to individual, optically trapped DNA molecules can already be tracked with localization accuracy in the sub-10 nm range at tensions above 1 pN. These experiments by us and others demonstrate the enormous potential of this combination of single-molecule techniques for the investigation of complex DNA-protein interactions. 相似文献
