¹H NMR: Pople Notation

¹H NMR: Pople Notation

The Pople nomenclature system classifies spin systems based on the difference between their chemical shifts. Coupled spins are denoted by capital letters with subscripts indicating the number of equivalent nuclei. When the coupled nuclei have well-separated chemical shifts, they are assigned letters that are far apart in the alphabet, such as A and X. When the difference in chemical shifts is small, coupled nuclei are named using adjacent letters of the alphabet (AB, MN, or XY).

Conserved Binding Sites

Conserved Binding Sites

Many proteins’ biological role depends on their interactions with their ligands, small molecules that bind to specific locations on the protein known as ligand-binding sites. Ligand-binding sites are often conserved among homologous proteins as these sites are critical for protein function.
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally...

Newman Projections

Newman Projections

Different notations are used to represent the three-dimensional structure of molecules on two-dimensional surfaces. One of the most commonly used representations is the dash-wedge formula. The dashed wedges, solid wedges, and the plane lines indicate the groups situated behind the plane, coming out of the plane, and in the plane, respectively.
The organic molecules rotate across the single bonds leading to numerous temporary three-dimensional structures of varying energy known as...

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

Protein domains are small structurally independent units that are part of a single amino acid chain. Although these domains are often structurally independent, they may rely on synergistic effects to perform their functions as part of a larger protein. Protein domains may be conserved within the same organism, as well as across different organisms.
A limited set of protein domains often duplicate and recombine during evolution. These domains can be organized in different combinations to...

Background:

Interfacial adsorbate organization significantly impacts surface physicochemical properties and reactivity.
Soft matter interfaces, often rough or fluctuating, lead to complex adsorbate structures, especially with self-assembly.
Existing imaging techniques are limited for soft matter surfaces, necessitating novel characterization methods.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a generalizable methodology for characterizing adsorbate organization at soft matter interfaces.
To apply topological data analysis to molecular dynamics simulations of interfacial systems.
To enable chemical interpretation of adsorbate self-assembly under various conditions.

Main Methods:

Utilizing adsorbate density images from molecular dynamics simulations of liquid/vapor and liquid/liquid interfaces.
Employing topological data analysis, specifically sublevelset persistent homology, to analyze image data.
Developing chemical interpretations of topological barcodes and creating differentiating descriptors.

Main Results:

Demonstrated the characterization of surface-active amphiphile self-assembly under both nonreactive and reactive conditions.
Successfully differentiated between various reactive and nonreactive organizational regimes using developed descriptors.
Validated the methodology's applicability even in complex, dynamic liquid/liquid interfaces.

Conclusions:

The proposed topological data analysis approach offers a robust method for characterizing complex adsorbate organization at soft matter interfaces.
This methodology is generalizable to diverse surface image data from both experimental and simulation sources.
The approach provides valuable chemical insights into interfacial phenomena, advancing surface science and materials design.
