Pseudomonas oleovorans contains an isomerase which catalyzes the cis-trans conversion of the abundant unsaturated membrane fatty acids 9-cis-hexadecenoic acid (palmitoleic acid) and 11-cis-octadecenoic acid (vaccenic acid). We purified the isomerase from the periplasmic fraction of Pseudomonas oleovorans. The molecula…

Molecular dynamics simulations are carried out to study the structure formation of 100 short chain molecules, each of which consists of 20 CH2 groups. Our simulations show that the orientationally ordered structure is formed from a random configuration by quenching. The global orientational order starts to increase su…

This paper deals with the adsorption states of ammonia on both the Brönsted and Lewis acid sites of V 2 O 5 (010) surface using the periodic boundary first-principles density functional (DFT) calculations. The calculated results indicate that ammonia adsorption takes place on both the Brönsted and Lewis sites of V 2 O…

Angle-resolved core-level photoemission has been utilized to study the surfaces of crystalline thin films of manganite ${\mathrm{La}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Ca}}_{x}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ ($x=0.1$ and 0.35). It is found that both the surface termination and Ca surface concentration depend on the bulk Ca concentration…

Band structure of the ferrimagnetic Fe 3 O 4 was calculated in the high temperature cubic phase by means of the full-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave method with the local spin density approximation. In the majority spin bands, the Fermi level stays in the band gap and 3d states of A site Fe are unoccupied wh…

Artificial atoms, i.e., systems of excess electrons confined in semiconductor quantum dots, are studied by the unrestricted Hartree-Fock method. We consider a spherical quantum dot embedded in an insulating matrix and assume a confinement potential in a form of spherical potential well of radius R and depth ${V}_{0}.$…

In this paper we describe collective properties of silver nanoparticles organized in two-dimensional superlattices. Our aim is to show that we can control the state of organization of the silver particles deposited on the substrate. Then the particles are found in the form of either a well-organized two-dimensional ar…

Amorphous and nanostructured carbon films were grown by using two different techniques: ion sputtering and cluster beam deposition. The films were studied by near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) and Raman spectroscopy. Depending on the precursors, atoms, or clusters, the films are characterized by a diff…

We study the energetics of island formation in Stranski-Krastanow growth within a parameter-free approach. It is shown that an optimum island size exists for a given coverage and island density if changes in the wetting layer morphology after the 3D transition are properly taken into account. Our approach reproduces w…
