Sex-linked Disorders01:43

Sex-linked Disorders

109.1K
Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.

Covalently Linked Protein Regulators02:04

Covalently Linked Protein Regulators

9.6K
Proteins can undergo many types of post-translational modifications, often in response to changes in their environment. These modifications play an important role in the function and stability of these proteins. Covalently linked molecules include functional groups, such as methyl, acetyl, and phosphate groups, and also small proteins, such as ubiquitin. There are around 200 different types of covalent regulators that have been identified.
These groups modify specific amino acids in a protein....

Metallic Solids02:37

Metallic Solids

20.8K
Metallic solids such as crystals of copper, aluminum, and iron are formed by metal atoms. The structure of metallic crystals is often described as a uniform distribution of atomic nuclei within a “sea” of delocalized electrons. The atoms within such a metallic solid are held together by a unique force known as metallic bonding that gives rise to many useful and varied bulk properties.
All metallic solids exhibit high thermal and electrical conductivity, metallic luster, and malleability....

Structures of Solids02:22

Structures of Solids

17.9K
Solids in which the atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a definite repeating pattern are known as crystalline solids. Metals and ionic compounds typically form ordered, crystalline solids. A crystalline solid has a precise melting temperature because each atom or molecule of the same type is held in place with the same forces or energy. Amorphous solids or non-crystalline solids (or, sometimes, glasses) which lack an ordered internal structure and are randomly arranged. Substances that...

Network Covalent Solids02:18

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...

Molecular and Ionic Solids02:54

Molecular and Ionic Solids

20.2K
Crystalline solids are divided into four types: molecular, ionic, metallic, and covalent network based on the type of constituent units and their interparticle interactions.
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Solid Mechanics
  • Network Theory

Background:

  • The mechanical response of rigid networks is typically described by global moduli (bulk and shear).
  • These moduli depend on the collective energy changes in bonds under applied stress.
  • Understanding local bond contributions to global properties is challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel concept of a local modulus (Lᵢ) for individual bonds in a harmonic spring network.
  • To demonstrate the utility of Lᵢ in analyzing the mechanical response of the entire network.
  • To provide a framework for efficient manipulation of network properties.

Main Methods:

  • Definition of a local modulus (Lᵢ) related to the energy change of a single bond upon altering its equilibrium length.
  • Application of Lᵢ to calculate the impact of bond removal on global bulk and shear moduli.
  • Analysis of the distribution of changes in global moduli.

Main Results:

  • The local modulus (Lᵢ) provides an efficient method to compute changes in bulk and shear moduli upon bond removal.
  • Lᵢ aids in predicting the distribution of these modulus changes.
  • The framework clarifies the uncorrelated nature of bulk and shear modulus changes after bond removal.

Conclusions:

  • The local modulus (Lᵢ) is a powerful tool for understanding and predicting the mechanical behavior of rigid networks.
  • This concept facilitates efficient manipulation of network properties through targeted bond removal.
  • The findings offer insights into the fundamental mechanics of disordered materials.
