How do the folding mechanisms of multidomain proteins depend on protein topology? We addressed this question by developing an Ising-like structure-based model and applying it for the analysis of free-energy landscapes and folding kinetics of an example protein, Escherichia coli dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). DHFR has…
In this paper, we numerically and experimentally demonstrate classical analogy of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) with simultaneously exciting the electric and the magnetic resonance. The cut wire and the split-ring resonator (SRR) are chosen as the bright and the quasi-dark EIT resonators, respectively…
Production of paper-based packaging is growing at the present moment and has great future prospects. However, the development of new packaging concepts is creating a demand for an improvement in the mechanical properties of paper. Extensibility is one of these properties. Highly extensible papers have the potential to…
We report an alcohol- and water-soluble and cross-linkable conjugated polymer used as an electron extraction layer (EEL) in near-infrared (NIR) polymer photodetectors (PDs) with an inverted device structure. Effectively suppressed dark current with significantly improved photocurrent result in enhanced detectivities f…
The objective of this study as to identify natural bamboo (Neosinocalamus affinis Keng) fiber through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), second derivative IR spectra, and two-dimensional infrared correlation spectroscopy (2D-IR). Textile plant fibers, including natural bamboo, jute, and flax fibers, were…
High-performance, solution-processed, non-polymeric broadband organic photodiodes (OPDs) with a dark current density of 0.11 nA cm-2, responsivity of 0.4 A W-1, and detectivity of up to 9.2 × 1012 Jones are demonstrated.
Porous materials with ligament sizes in the submicrometer to nanometer regime have a high potential for future applications such as catalysts, actuators, or radiation tolerant materials, which require properties like high strength-to-weight ratio, high surface-to-volume ratio, or large interface density as for radiati…
Enzymatic hydrolysis of recalcitrant polysaccharides like cellulose takes place on the solid-liquid interface. Therefore the adsorption of enzymes to the solid surface is a pre-requisite for catalysis. Here we used enzymatic activity measurements with fluorescent model-substrate 4-methyl-umbelliferyl-β-D-lactoside for…
A one-pot synthesis design on shape-controlled growth of Zn-based isoreticular metal–organic framework (i.e., IRMOF-3) was carried out in this work with the controllable crystal morphological evolution from simple cubes to several complex shapes. A new synthetic protocol was devised where poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP),…
We have demonstrated the performance of an aqueous redox flow battery composed of a negative electrode consisting of a redox couple between anthraquinone di-sulfonate and its corresponding hydroquinone, and a positive electrode consisting of a redox couple between hydrobromic acid and bromine. The peak power density i…
Abstract For the first time in 2009, the inorganic‐organic hybrid perovskite materials were applied in liquid dye‐sensitized solar cells. In 2013, the power conversion efficiency successfully reached 15%, followed by great amount of research papers bursting out. Till August 2014, the highest efficiency is certified to…
Nanocrystalline titania films deposited on FTO transparent electrodes were sensitized by CdS nanoparticles synthesized in situ by the SILAR method. Three precursor solutions were employed for adsorption of Cd 2+ ions: nitrate, sulfate, and acetate. The CdS load and the size of CdS nanoparticles varied a lot from one p…
The details of a newly constructed small-angle X-ray scattering instrument are presented. The geometry of the instrument is highly customizable, enabling it to address vastly different experimental situations from academic research to industrial problems. The high degree of motorization and automation compared to conv…
The most efficient architecture for achieving high donor/acceptor interfacial area in organic photovoltaics (OPVs) would employ arrays of vertically interdigitated p- and n- type semiconductor nanopillars (NPs). Such morphology could have an advantage in bulk heterojunction systems; however, precise control of the dim…
We have constructed an ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy instrument that uses hard X-ray radiation at the high-performance undulator beamline BL36XU of SPring-8. The dependence of the Au 4f peak intensity from Au foil on the ambient N2 pressure was measured. At a photon energy of 7.94 keV, the Au 4f pe…
In the current study, the lipid-shell and polymer-core hybrid nanoparticles (lpNPs) modified by Arg-Gly-Asp(RGD) peptide, loaded with curcumin (Cur), were developed by emulsification-solvent volatilization method. The RGD-modified hybrid nanoparticles (RGD-lpNPs) could overcome the poor water solubility of Cur to meet…
In this work, a rapid low-temperature and cost-effective refluxing synthesis strategy was elegantly designed, and elaborately developed for high-yield fabrication of mesoporous nanocrystalline ZnFe2O4 with nano-scaled size of ∼7 nm, desirable mesoporosity and large specific surface area. Benefitting from these admirab…
New magnetic hydroxyapatite-based nanomaterials as bone-specific systems for controlled drug delivery have been synthesized. The synthesized hydroxyapatite, HA, decorated with magnetite nanoparticles by a deposition method (HA/Fe3O4) and the nanocomposite system obtained using magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes (H…
Gold nanoparticles have garnered interest as both radiosensitzers and computed tomography (CT) contrast agents. However, the extremely high concentrations of gold required to generate CT contrast is far beyond that needed for meaningful radiosensitization, which limits their use as combined therapeutic-diagnostic (the…
Modified nucleosides are important biomarkers of cancers. For their analysis, boronate adsorbents were widely used to selectively capture them from urine, but often suffered from serious secondary hydrophobic interaction and harsh alkaline extraction condition. In this work, the hybrid titania-zirconia nanoparticles c…
