Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.6K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Network Covalent Solids

16.2K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Fixing Double-strand Breaks

14.9K
The double-stranded structure of DNA has two major advantages. First, it serves as a safe repository of genetic information where one strand serves as the back-up in case the other strand is damaged. Second, the double-helical structure can be wrapped around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes, which can then be tightly wound to form chromosomes. This way, DNA chains up to 2 inches long can be contained within microscopic structures in a cell. A double-stranded break not only damages...

Double Resonance Techniques: Overview01:12

Double Resonance Techniques: Overview

773
Double resonance techniques in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy involve the simultaneous application of two different frequencies or radiofrequency pulses to manipulate and observe two distinct nuclear spins. One important application of double resonance is spin decoupling, which selectively suppresses coupling with one type of nucleus while observing the NMR signal from another nucleus, simplifying the spectrum and enhancing resolution.
Spin decoupling is usually achieved by...

Summary

Computer simulations reveal polymer microgels can form diverse structures like core-corona and shell-corona. These structures depend on subchain length and molecular mass, impacting their carrier capabilities.

Area of Science:

  • Polymer Science
  • Materials Science
  • Computational Chemistry

Background:

  • Polymer microgels with dense outer shells show promise as versatile carriers for various molecules.
  • Understanding microgel structure is key to optimizing their functionality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the structural formation of polymer microgels composed of interpenetrating networks.
  • To determine how subchain length and molecular mass influence microgel architecture.

Main Methods:

  • Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) computer simulations were employed.
  • Analysis of microgel formation based on varying subchain lengths and molecular masses.

Main Results:

  • Identified three distinct microgel structures: core-corona, shell-corona, and core-shell-corona.
  • Core-corona structures form at small sizes with distinct subnetworks.
  • Shell-corona structures, featuring a soft cavity within a dense shell, appear at intermediate sizes.
  • Core-shell-corona structures emerge at larger molecular masses with additional internal cores.

Conclusions:

  • Microgel architecture is tunable by adjusting subchain length and molecular mass.
  • The identified structures offer potential for tailored molecular encapsulation and delivery applications.
