The effects of added salt on the second virial coefficients of the complete proteome of E. coli
Richard P. Sear
Bacteria typically have a few thousand different proteins. The number of proteins with a given charge is a roughly Gaussian function of charge - centred near zero, and with a width…
Distribution of the second virial coefficients of globular proteins
Richard P. Sear
George and Wilson [Acta. Cryst. D 50, 361 (1994)] looked at the distribution of values of the second virial coefficient of globular proteins, under the conditions at which they cry…
Flory-Huggins theory for athermal mixtures of hard spheres and larger flexible polymers
Richard P. Sear
A simple analytic theory for mixtures of hard spheres and larger polymers with excluded volume interactions is developed. The mixture is shown to exhibit extensive immiscibility. F…
Interfacial tension and nucleation in mixtures of colloids and long ideal polymer coils
Richard P. Sear
Mixtures of ideal polymers with hard spheres whose diameters are smaller than the radius of gyration of the polymer, exhibit extensive immiscibility. The interfacial tension betwee…
Heterogeneous nucleation near a metastable vapour-liquid transition: the effect of wetting transitions
Richard P. Sear
Phase transformations such as freezing typically start with heterogeneous nucleation. Heterogeneous nucleation near a wetting transition, of a crystalline phase is studied. The wet…
