Non-monotonic electrophoretic mobility of rod-like polyelectrolytes by multivalent coions in added salt
Hossein Vahid, Alberto Scacchi, Maria Sammalkorpi +1
It is well established that when multivalent counterions or salts are added to a solution of highly-charged polyelectrolytes (PEs), correlation effects can cause charge inversion o…
Self-assembly of binary solutions to complex structures
Alberto Scacchi, Maria Sammalkorpi, Tapio Ala-Nissila
Self-assembly in natural and synthetic molecular systems can create complex aggregates or materials whose properties and functionality rises from their internal structure and molec…
Self-assembly in soft matter with multiple length scales
Alberto Scacchi, Sousa Javan Nikkhah, Maria Sammalkorpi +1
Spontaneous self-assembly in molecular systems is a fundamental route to both biological and engineered soft matter. Simple micellisation, emulsion formation, and polymer mixing pr…
Current MD forcefields fail to capture key features of protein structure and fluctuations: A case study of cyclophilin A and T4 lysozyme
Zhe Mei, Alex T. Grigas, John D. Treado +6
Globular proteins undergo thermal fluctuations in solution, while maintaining an overall well-defined folded structure. In particular, studies have shown that the core structure of…
