RAFT polymerization and associated reactivity ratios of methacrylate-functionalized mixed bio-oil constituents


Angela L. Holmberg, Michael G. Karavolias and Thomas H. Epps
Polym. Chem., 2015,6, 5728-5739
From themed collection: Emerging Investigators

Abstract

High separations costs reduce the practicality of polymers sourced from renewable bio-oils, motivating economical multicomponent bio-oil polymerizations. Thus, this paper investigates polymerization behavior of model bio-oil components and their mixtures.


A statistical model of intra-chromosome contact maps


Leonid I. Nazarov, Mikhail V. Tamm, Vladik A. Avetisov and Sergei K. Nechaev
Soft Matter, 2015,11, 1019-1025

Abstract

A statistical model describing a fine structure of the intra-chromosome maps obtained by a genome-wide chromosome conformation capture method (Hi–C) is proposed.


Ferritin light-chain subunits: key elements for the electron transfer across the protein cage


Unai Carmona, Le Li, Lianbing Zhang and Mato Knez
Chem. Commun., 2014,50, 15358-15361

Abstract

Using an external electron acceptor and donor and Pt nanoparticles as the enzyme-mimetic electron source, the electron transfer across the protein cage was identified as the first specific functionality of the light-chain subunit of ferritin.


Direct force measurements on peeling heteropolymer ssDNA from a graphite surface using single-molecule force spectroscopy


Gang Wei, Qing Li, Sascha Steckbeck and Lucio Colombi Ciacchi
Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2014,16, 3995-4001

Abstract

AFM-based single-molecule force spectroscopy is utilized to measure the interaction between ssDNA molecules and graphite surface directly.


Thermodynamics and structure of macromolecules from flat-histogram Monte Carlo simulations


Wolfhard Janke and Wolfgang Paul
Soft Matter, 2016,12, 642-657

Abstract

Over the last decade flat-histogram Monte Carlo simulations, especially multi-canonical and Wang–Landau simulations, have emerged as a strong tool to study the statistical mechanics of polymer chains.
