Despite its importance, little is known about how complex deformation modes alter the intrinsic electronic states of carbon nanotubes. Here we consider the rippling deformation mode characterized by helicoidal furrows and ridges and elucidate that a new intralayer strain effect rather than the known bilayer coupling a…

The stationary phase-dependent regulatory protein (SdrP) from the extremely thermophilic bacterium, Thermus thermophilus HB8, a CRP/FNR family protein, is a transcription activator, whose expression increases in the stationary phase of growth. SdrP positively regulates the expression of several genes involved in nutri…

Hyperbranched polymers with ( N, N -diethylamino)dithiocarbamoyl (DC) units as peripheral groups (HBP-DC) spontaneously form nanospheres in aqueous silver nitrate. Although HBP-DC itself is insoluble in water, coordination of Ag(I) ions to surface DC units imparts cationic charges which make Ag(I)/HBP-DC complexes dis…
