Asymmetric Lipid Bilayer01:35

Asymmetric Lipid Bilayer

7.0K
Biological membranes show uneven distribution of different types of lipids in the inner and outer layers, resulting in transverse asymmetric membranes. The treatment of the erythrocyte membrane with the enzyme phospholipase confirmed the asymmetric nature of the lipid bilayer. The enzyme hydrolyzes lipids into fatty acids and hydrophilic groups. The phospholipase acts only on the outer layer of the membrane, while the inner layer remains intact. The phospholipase treatment resulted in 80%...

Globular and Fibrous Proteins02:21

Globular and Fibrous Proteins

42.9K
Many proteins can be classified into two distinct subtypes - globular or fibrous. These two types differ in their shapes and solubilities.
Globular proteins are also known as spheroproteins and typically are approximately round in shape. They contain a mix of amino acid types and contain differing sequences in their primary structures. Globular proteins have many different functions, such as enzymes, cellular messengers, and molecular transporters. These roles often require the proteins to be...

Structure of Benzene: Molecular Orbital Model

8.4K
According to the molecular orbital (MO) model, benzene has a planar structure with a regular hexagon of six sp2 hybridized carbons. As shown in Figure 1, each carbon is bonded to three other atoms with C–C–C and H–C–C bond angles of 120°. The C–H bond length is 109 pm, and the C–C bond length is 139 pm which is midway between the single bond length of sp3 hybridized carbons (154 pm) and sp2 hybridized carbons (133 pm).

Multi-pass Transmembrane Proteins and β-barrels

5.2K
In multi-pass transmembrane proteins, the polypeptide chain crosses the membrane more than once. The transmembrane polypeptide chain either forms an α-helix or β-strand structure. α-Helix containing multi-pass transmembrane proteins are ubiquitous, whereas β-strand containing ones are mainly found in gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Recent experimental advances in bilayer boron materials.
  • The need to understand the structural and electronic properties of borophenes.
  • Exploration of interlayer covalent bonding in borophene structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the structure and properties of α-sheet-based bilayer borophenes.
  • To analyze different stacking configurations (AA, AB, and [Formula: see text]) and their stability.
  • To determine the electrical conductivity of these bilayer structures.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical study of structural configurations.
  • Energy calculations for neutral and charged bilayer borophenes.
  • Analysis of electronic conductivity and symmetry properties.

Main Results:

  • Identified three possible stacking variations: AA, AB, and [Formula: see text].
  • AA-stacking is experimentally supported; AB-stacking is the most stable freestanding structure.
  • Extraordinarily high electric conductivity observed, up to [Formula: see text] for AA-stacking and anisotropic conductivity ([Formula: see text]) for AB-stacking.

Conclusions:

  • Bilayer borophene stacking significantly influences stability and electronic properties.
  • The stable AB-stacking exhibits anisotropic conductivity due to its 2-fold symmetry.
  • These findings offer insights into designing advanced electronic materials based on borophenes.
