DNA as a Genetic Template02:05

DNA as a Genetic Template

27.9K
Two structural features of the DNA molecule provide a basis for the mechanisms of heredity: the four nucleotide bases and its double-stranded nature. The Watson-Crick model of double-helical DNA structure, proposed in 1952, drew heavily upon the X-ray crystallography work of researchers Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. Watson, Crick, and Wilkins jointly received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work in 1962. Franklin was, controversially, excluded from the prize for...

The Carbon Cycle

43.9K
Carbon is the basis of all organic matter on Earth, and is recycled through the ecosystem in two primary processes: one in which carbon is exchanged among living organisms, and one in which carbon is cycled over long periods of time through fossilized organic remains, weathering of rocks, and volcanic activity. Human activities, including increased agricultural practices and the burning of fossil fuels, has greatly affected the balance of the natural carbon cycle.

Carbon Skeletons

Life on Earth is carbon-based, as all macromolecules that make up living organisms contain carbon atoms. All organic compounds have a carbon backbone. Each carbon atom is tetravalent and can bond with four other atoms, making it an extraordinarily flexible component of biological molecules. Because carbon’s valence electrons are stable, it rarely becomes an ion. As the carbon chain increases in length, structural modifications such as ring structures, double bonds, and branching side...

Carbonation Shrinkage01:24

Carbonation Shrinkage

491
Atmospheric CO2 penetrates the concrete's pores and, in the presence of moisture, forms carbonic acid, which then reacts with calcium hydroxide in the hydrated cement, forming calcium carbonate. This process reduces the concrete's volume and is termed carbonation shrinkage.
The concrete's permeability is slightly reduced as calcium carbonate produced during the reaction fills its pores. Furthermore, its strength is slightly enhanced as the water released during the reaction...

Carbon-dioxide Fixation01:28

Carbon-dioxide Fixation

722
Carbon dioxide fixation in prokaryotes enables the assimilation of inorganic carbon into organic molecules, supporting biosynthetic pathways, sustaining ecosystems, and contributing to the global carbon cycle. It also has industrial applications in carbon capture and bioproduct synthesis. Autotrophic organisms rely on this process to utilize CO₂ as a carbon source in diverse environments.The Calvin CycleThe Calvin cycle is the most widespread carbon fixation mechanism, primarily used by...

Summary

Researchers developed a computational method to predict zeolite-templated carbon (ZTC) structures. This study identifies new ZTCs and links them to schwarzites, suggesting schwarzites are not purely hypothetical.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Computational Chemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Zeolite-templated carbons (ZTCs) are a novel class of carbon materials.
  • Their synthesis involves templating with zeolites followed by precursor deposition and template removal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a theoretical framework for predicting ZTC structures from zeolite templates.
  • To generate a comprehensive library of potential ZTCs and identify synthesizable candidates.
  • To establish a link between ZTCs and schwarzites.

Main Methods:

  • Computational modeling of ZTC structures based on zeolite frameworks.
  • Generation of a ZTC library from all known zeolite structures.
  • Analysis of ZTC topology and comparison with triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS).

Main Results:

  • A theoretical framework accurately predicts known ZTC structures.
  • Identification of over 10 novel, potentially synthesizable ZTCs.
  • Demonstration that ZTCs partition space into two interpenetrating labyrinths, analogous to TPMS.

Conclusions:

  • The developed framework provides a predictive tool for ZTC design.
  • The study establishes a concrete relationship between ZTCs and schwarzites.
  • Schwarzes, carbon materials with negative Gaussian curvature, are shown to be related to experimentally accessible ZTCs, moving them from hypothetical to tangible materials.
