Molecular insights on Poly(N-isoproylacrylamide) coil-to-globule transition induced by pressure
Letizia Tavagnacco, Ester Chiessi, Emanuela Zaccarelli
Poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM) phase diagram is explored in a wide range of temperature and pressure using extensive all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. By exploiting a s…
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…
Assembling patchy plasmonic nanoparticles with aggregation-dependent antibacterial activity
Francesco Brasili, Angela Capocefalo, Damiano Palmieri +5
We realise an antibacterial nanomaterial based on the self-limited assembly of patchy plasmonic colloids, obtained by adsorption of lysozyme to gold nanoparticles. The possibility…
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…
