Self Assembly of Globular Protein Nanoparticles

Shiryayev A., Gunton J.D., Lehigh University, US

A continuum model of the self-assembly of globular protein nanoparticles proposed by Talanquer and Oxtoby (J. Chem. Phys. 109, 223 (1998)) is investigated numerically, with particular emphasis on the region near the metastable fluid-fluid coexistence [...]

Crystallization of Membrane Protein Nanoparticles

Shiryayev A., Holby E.F., Gunton J.D., Lehigh University, US

The self-assembly of membrane proteins from solution into two-dimensional crystals is studied numerically using a continuum model proposed by Talanquer and Oxtoby (J. Chem. Phys. 109, 223 (1998)). Although the mean ¯eld theory presented here [...]

Overview of Overlapping Bio and Nano Technologies

Iyer S., LANL, US

“What is the connection between nanoscience and biology?” “What are biologists doing at Nanotech 2004 and why do you have so many “bio” related sessions?” “So biologists are also jumping on the nanoscience bandwagon.” These [...]

Macromolecular Crystallization in Microfluidics for the International Space Station

Monaco L.A., Spearing S.F., Morgan Research Corporation, US

Macromolecular Crystallization in Microfluidics for the International Space Station At NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, we have begun the development of scientific hardware for macromolecular crystallization on the International Space Station (ISS). [...]

Microfluidic Technology Applied to Protein Sizing and Quantitation

Barthmaier P., Agilent Technologies, US

Although protein analysis technologies are developing fast, the current standard method is still denaturing gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Many researchers rely on this traditional method that has not substantially changed in the past 30 years. However, [...]
