Enhanced Stability of the Model Mini-protein in Amino Acid Ionic Liquids and Their Aqueous Solutions
Guillaume Chevrot, Eudes Eterno Fileti, Vitaly V. Chaban
Using molecular dynamics simulations, the structure of model mini-protein was thoroughly characterized in the imidazolium-based amino acid ionic liquids and their aqueous solutions…
Ionization of Cucurbiturils as a Pathway to More Stable Host-Guest Complexes
Vitaly V. Chaban, Eudes Eterno Fileti, Thaciana Malaspina
Cucurbiturils are particularly interesting to chemists, because these macrocyclic molecules are suitable hosts for an array of neutral and cationic species. It is believed that the…
Can Inorganic Salts Tune Electronic Properties of Graphene?
Guilherme Colherinhas, Eudes Eterno Fileti, Vitaly V. Chaban
Electronic properties of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) constitute a subject of intense scientific interest. Being smaller than 20 nm, GQDs contain confined excitons in all dimension…
Can Organic Ions Dissolve Fullerenes?
Vitaly V. Chaban, Cleiton Maciel, Eudes Eterno Fileti
Over 150 solvents have been so far probed to dissolve light fullerenes - with quite moderate success. Based on unusual electronic properties of the C60 fullerene and room-temperatu…
