Effects of Ligand vs. Linker on Phase Behavior and Mechanical Properties of Nanoparticle Gels

Qizan Chen, Dinesh Sundaravadivelu Devarajan, Arash Nikoubashman +2

Nanoparticle gels have attracted considerable attention due to their highly tunable properties. One strategy for producing nanoparticle gels involves using strong local attractions…

The interplay between thermodynamics and kinetics in the self-assembly of DNA functionalized nanoparticles

Runfang Mao, Jeetain Mittal

We use a coarse-grained model of DNA-functionalized particles to understand the role of DNA chain length on their self-assembly. We find that the increasing chain length for a give…

Binary superlattice design by controlling DNA-mediated interactions

Minseok Song, Yajun Ding, Hasan Zerze +2

Most binary superlattices created using DNA functionalization or other approaches rely on particle size differences to achieve compositional order and structural diversity. Here we…

Diffusive dynamics of contact formation in disordered polypeptides

Gul Zerze, Jeetain Mittal, Robert B. Best

Experiments measuring contact formation between a probe and quencher in disordered chains provide information on the fundamental dynamical timescales relevant to protein folding, b…

Role of solvation in pressure-induced helix stabilization

Robert B. Best, Cayla Miller, Jeetain Mittal

In contrast to the well-known destabilization of globular proteins by high pressure, re- cent work has shown that pressure stabilizes the formation of isolated α-helices. However a…
