Polymers

41.1K
The word polymer is derived from the Greek words “poly” which means “many” and “mer” which means “parts”. Polymers are long chains of molecules composed of repeating units of smaller molecules, known as monomers. They either occur naturally, such as DNA and proteins, or can be constructed synthetically, like plastics. They have varied structural characteristics, such as linear chains, branched chains, or complex networks, that contribute to the...

Protein-protein Interfaces

14.8K
Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

Electron Carriers

92.0K
Electron carriers can be thought of as electron shuttles. These compounds can easily accept electrons (i.e., be reduced) or lose them (i.e., be oxidized). They play an essential role in energy production because cellular respiration is contingent on the flow of electrons.
Over the many stages of cellular respiration, glucose breaks down into carbon dioxide and water. Electron carriers pick up electrons lost by glucose in these reactions, temporarily storing and releasing them into the electron...

Electron Affinity03:07

Electron Affinity

43.6K
The electron affinity (EA) is the energy change for adding an electron to a gaseous atom to form an anion (negative ion).

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a liquid-based scanning tunneling microscope and spectroscope in a noise-free laboratory.
  • Performed spectroscopic measurements on polymer-CNT-graphene heterostructures in solvent.
  • Employed molecular dynamics simulations for complementary analysis.

Main Results:

  • Resolved the polymer-semiconducting carbon-nanotube-underlying graphene heterostructure in liquid media.
  • Demonstrated the influence of polymer packing and graphene landscape on CNT electronic band shifts.
  • Highlighted the role of solvent molecules in the hybrid complex's electronic properties.

Conclusions:

  • Liquid-phase measurements are crucial for understanding the native electronic properties of polymer-solubilized hybrid materials.
