Protein Diffusion in the Membrane01:24

Protein Diffusion in the Membrane

Proteins show rotational as well as lateral diffusion across the membrane. The lateral diffusion of proteins was confirmed through the cell fusion experiment where mouse and human cells were fused, resulting in hybrid cells. When the human and mouse cells fused, the specific membrane proteins on human and mouse cells were marked with the red and green-fluorescent markers, respectively. Initially, the red and green fluorescence was located on the respective hemisphere of the cell. As time...

Bewley Lattice Diagram

The Bewley lattice diagram, developed by L. V. Bewley, effectively organizes the reflections occurring during transmission-line transients. It visually represents how voltage waves propagate and reflect within a transmission line, making it easier to understand the complex interactions that occur.

Ladder Diagrams: Complexation Equilibria

Ladder diagrams are useful for evaluating equilibria involving metal-ligand complexes. The vertical scale of the ladder diagram represents the concentration of unreacted or free ligand, pL. The horizontal lines on the scale depict the log of stepwise formation constants for metal-ligand complexes and indicate the dominant species in all the regions.
The formation constant, K1, for the formation of Cd(NH3)2+ complex from cadmium and ammonia is 3.55 × 102. Log K1 (i.e. pNH3) is 2.55, and...

Area of Science:

  • Surface science
  • Supramolecular chemistry
  • Materials science

Background:

  • Molecular self-assembly on surfaces is crucial for designing functional nanomaterials.
  • Understanding intermolecular interactions is key to controlling network formation and dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the assembly and dynamics of a bimolecular network of sexiphenyl dicarbonitrile and N,N"-diphenyl oxalic amide on Ag(111).
  • To identify and characterize novel bonding motifs governing network formation and stability.

Main Methods:

  • Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at controlled temperatures.
  • Theoretical investigation using ab initio calculations.

Main Results:

  • A hierarchical, bimolecular network was successfully assembled on the Ag(111) surface.
  • A novel carbonitrile-oxalic amide bonding motif was identified as the primary interaction driving network stability.
  • Sexiphenyl dicarbonitrile molecules exhibit temperature-dependent one-dimensional diffusion along the network structure above ~70 K.
  • Ab initio calculations confirmed distinct binding energies for different coupling motifs, supporting experimental observations.

Conclusions:

  • The study elucidates a two-step protocol for hierarchical network formation driven by specific intermolecular interactions.
  • The findings provide insights into the rational design of molecular networks with tunable diffusion properties on surfaces.
