Atomic scale investigation of the volume phase transition in concentrated PNIPAM microgels
M. Zanatta, L. Tavagnacco, E. Buratti +5
Combining elastic incoherent neutron scattering and differential scanning calorimetry, we investigate the occurrence of the volume phase transition (VPT) in very concentrated PNIPA…
Protein-like dynamical transition of hydrated polymer chains
L. Tavagnacco, M. Zanatta, E. Buratti +8
Combining elastic incoherent neutron scattering experiments at different resolutions with molecular dynamics simulations, we report the observation of a protein-like dynamical tran…
Molecular mechanisms driving the microgels behaviour: a Raman spectroscopy and Dynamic Light Scattering study
Valentina Nigro, Francesca Ripanti, Roberta Angelini +5
Responsive microgels based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) exhibit peculiar behaviours due to the competition between the hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions of the co…
G-quartet biomolecular nanowires
A. Calzolari, R. Di Felice, E. Molinari +1
We present a first-principle investigation of quadruple helix nanowires, consisting of stacked planar hydrogen-bonded guanine tetramers. Our results show that long wires form and a…
Ab-initio study of model guanine assemblies: The role of pi-pi coupling and band transport
R. Di Felice, A. Calzolari, E. Molinari +1
Several assemblies of guanine molecules are investigated by means of first-principle calculations. Such structures include stacked and hydrogen-bonded dimers, as well as vertical c…
Self-assembled guanine ribbons as wide-bandgap semiconductors
A. Calzolari, R. Di Felice, E. Molinari +1
We present a first principle study about the stability and the electronic properties of a new biomolecular solid-state material, obtained by the self-assembling of guanine (G) mole…
