Protein Complex Assembly

Protein Complex Assembly

Proteins can form homomeric complexes with another unit of the same protein or heteromeric complexes with different types. Most protein complexes self-assemble spontaneously via ordered pathways, while some proteins need assembly factors that guide their proper assembly. Despite the crowded intracellular environment, proteins usually interact with their correct partners and form functional complexes.
Many viruses self-assemble into a fully functional unit using the infected host cell to...

Spindle Assembly

Spindle Assembly

Spindle assembly occurs through three, often coexisting, pathways – the centrosome-mediated pathway, the chromatin-mediated pathway, and the microtubule-mediated pathway – collectively contributing to form a robust spindle apparatus.
In most cells, centrosomes are the primary microtubule nucleation centers. In the centrosome-mediated pathway, the G2-prophase transition triggers centrosome maturation and increased microtubule nucleation. Progressive nucleation results in a...

Oligosaccharide Assembly

Oligosaccharide Assembly

Protein glycosylation starts in the ER lumen and continues in the Golgi apparatus. Glycosyltransferases catalyze the addition of sugar molecules or glycosylation of proteins. Usually, these enzymes add sugars to the hydroxyl groups of selected serine or threonine residues to form O-linked glycans or the amino groups of asparagine residues to form N-linked glycans. Different positions on the same polypeptide chain can contain differently linked glycans.
Multiple sugar molecules that may or may...

Assembly of Cytoskeletal Filaments

Assembly of Cytoskeletal Filaments

Cytoskeletal filaments are polymeric forms of smaller protein subunits. However, individual cytoskeletal filaments may easily disassemble or associate with other similar filaments to form rigid structures. Microfilaments, made of actin monomers, rely on actin-binding proteins to form bundles and create networks of individual actin filaments. Microtubules rely on microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) to form sturdy cylindrical structures. However, the proteins involved in forming complex...

Genome Annotation and Assembly

Genome Annotation and Assembly

The genome refers to all of the genetic material in an organism. It can range from a few million base pairs in microbial cells to several billion base pairs in many eukaryotic organisms. Genome assembly refers to the process of taking the DNA sequencing data and putting it all back together in a correct order to create a close representation of the original genome. This is followed by the identification of functional elements on the newly assembled genome, a process called genome annotation.

Background:

Self-assembled heteroepitaxial nanostructures are crucial for miniaturizing electronic devices, particularly ferroelectric memories.
Predicting and controlling nanostructure morphology is essential for device performance and scalability.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish a theoretical framework for predicting nanostructure morphology based on interface properties.
To experimentally validate the theoretical predictions by growing specific nanostructures for electronic applications.

Main Methods:

First-principles calculations were employed to determine interface formation energies (E_f).
Pulsed laser deposition was used to grow perovskite BiFeO₃ (BFO) nanopillars within a CeO₂ matrix on SrTiO₃ substrates.

Main Results:

Theoretical models predict matrix structures for low interface energy materials and nanopillars for high interface energy materials.
Experimental growth of BFO nanopillars in a CeO₂ matrix was achieved, consistent with CeO₂ having lower interface energy than BFO.

Conclusions:

Interface formation energy is a reliable predictor of self-assembled nanostructure morphology.
This work offers a method for controlling nanostructure formation and advancing self-assembled ferroelectric nanoscale memory technology.
