Phosphoinositides and PIPs

Phosphoinositides and PIPs

Phosphoinositides are a group of phospholipids containing a glycerol backbone with two fatty acid chains and a phosphate attached to a myoinositol sugar ring. The inositol head group extends into the cytoplasm, where it is modified by adding phosphate groups to form phosphatidylinositol phosphates or PIPs.
Different phosphoinositides are synthesized and recruited on the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane. The localization of specific phosphoinositides concentrated in separate membrane...

Phosphodiester Linkages

Phosphodiester Linkages

Overview
Phosphodiester bond forms when a phosphoric acid molecule (H3PO4) links with two hydroxyl groups (–OH) of two other molecules, forming two ester bonds. Two water molecules are released in this process. The phosphodiester bond is commonly found in nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) and plays a critical role in their structure and function.
Phosphodiester Bonds Link Nucleotides Together
DNA and RNA are polynucleotides or long chains of nucleotides that are linked together. A nucleotide is...

Background:

Two-dimensional (2D) binary phosphides are theoretically predicted to possess unique properties for advanced applications.
Experimental synthesis of these 2D materials remains a significant challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish a general and effective approach for the experimental synthesis of 2D binary phosphides.
To demonstrate the feasibility of substrate-engineered atomic-scale growth for novel 2D materials.

Main Methods:

Utilizing single crystalline surfaces with constituent elements as substrates for 2D material growth.
Employing scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) for structural characterization.
Conducting first-principles calculations to understand interface interactions and electronic properties.

Main Results:

Successful synthesis of SnP3 on Cu2Sn and BiP on bismuthene (on Cu2Sb).
STM imaging confirmed hexagonal SnP3 patterns and epitaxial growth of alpha-BiP.
Calculations revealed strong interface bonding and charge transfer for SnP3, and weak interaction preserving semiconducting properties for BiP.
