In this work, we apply entropic sampling simulations to a three-state model which has exact solutions in the microcanonical and grand-canonical ensembles. We consider N chains placed on an unidimensional lattice, such that each site may assume one of the three states: empty (state 1), with a single molecule energetically null (state 2), and with a single molecule with energy [Formula: see text] (state 3). Each molecule, which we will treat here as dimers, consists of two monomers connected one to each other by a rod. The thermodynamic properties such as internal energy, densities of dimers and

Abstract:
A statistical approach is used to define the long molecular axis and the main molecular plane. While the concept of molecular axis and plane is immediately useful for simple rod-like or planar molecules, it can be easily generalized to arbitrary molecules as well as molecular subgroups. From the molecular axes and planes, the orientation of the molecule with respect to the lattice as well as intermolecular orientations can be characterized. The method is applied for a comparison of pentacene andpara-quinquephenyl crystal structures.

Abstract:
Despite low-sequence homology, the intermediate filament (IF)–like protein FilP from Streptomyces coelicolor displays structural and biochemical similarities to the metazoan nuclear IF lamin. FilP, like IF proteins, is composed of central coiled-coil domains interrupted by short linkers and flanked by head and tail domains. FilP polymerizes into repetitive filament bundles with paracrystalline properties. However, the cations Na+ and K+ are found to induce the formation of a FilP hexagonal meshwork with the same 60-nm repetitive unit as the filaments. Studies of polymerization kinetics, in com

Abstract:
The visual pigment rhodopsin was used as an intrinsic probe to measure the effect of incorporation of enflurane into bovine rod outer segment disk membranes. At moderately low enflurane concentration, we find that, while extrinsic probes show little membrane perturbation, rhodopsin may experience large changes with respect to the native lipid–protein interactions which modulate some of its properties. Enflurane induces a small blue shift in the pigment λmax and a strong inhomogeneity in its photochemical behavior. As a function of enflurane concentration, there appears to be an increasing popu

Abstract:
The formation of micro- and nanostructures during the oxidative polymerization of polypyrrole and polyaniline is investigated using different sulfonic acid dopants. Rod- or tube-like structures are found in polypyrrole as well as in polyaniline without addition of further compounds to the initial reaction mixture of monomer, dopant and oxidant. In these cases, always a crystalline precursor complex composed of a dopand molecule and the pure monomer (aniline) or a trimeric moiety (pyrrole) serves as in-situ template. In most cases the surface of the growing polymer is covered by secondary struc

Abstract:
Fluorination represents an important strategy in developing high-performance conjugated polymers for photovoltaic applications. Here, we use regioregular poly(3-ethylhexylthiophene) (P3EHT) and poly(3-ethylhexyl-4-fluorothiophene) (F-P3EHT) as simplified model materials, using single-molecule/aggregate spectroscopy and molecular dynamic simulations, to elucidate the impacts of backbone fluorination on morphology and excitonic coupling on the molecular scale. Despite its high regioregularity, regioregular P3EHT exhibits a rather broad distribution in polymer chain conformation due to the strong

In the previous study, we succeeded in isolating the cell-to-cell adherens junctions from rat liver (Tsukita, S., and S. Tsukita. 1989. J. Cell Biol. 108:31-41.). In this study, we have obtained mAbs specific to the 400-kD protein, which was identified as one of the major constituents of the undercoat of isolated adherens junctions. Immune blot analyses showed that this protein occurs in various types of tissues. Immunofluorescence microscopy and immune electron microscopy have revealed that this protein is distributed not only at the undercoat of adherens junctions but also along actin bundle

Abstract:
Coordination of F-actin and microtubule dynamics is important for cellular motility and morphogenesis, but little is known about underlying mechanisms. short stop (shot) encodes an evolutionarily conserved, neuronally expressed family of rod-like proteins required for sensory and motor axon extension in Drosophila melanogaster. We identify Shot isoforms that contain N-terminal F-actin and C-terminal microtubule-binding domains, and that crosslink F-actin and microtubules in cultured cells. The F-actin- and microtubule-binding domains of Shot are required in the same molecule for axon extension

ABSTRACT Sulfolobus spindle-shaped virus 1 (SSV1) and its fusellovirus homologues can be found in many acidic (pH ≤ 4.0) hot springs (≥70°C) around the world. SSV1 contains a 15.5-kb double-stranded DNA genome that encodes 34 proteins with greater than 50 amino acids. A site-specific integrase and a DnaA-like protein have been previously identified by sequence homology, and three structural proteins have been isolated from purified virus and identified by N-terminal sequencing (VP1, VP2, and VP3). The functions of the remaining 29 proteins are currently unknown. To assign functions to these pr

Abstract:
Epiglycanin is a mucin-type glycoprotein present at the surface of TA3Ha mouse mammary tumour cells. It is a long rod-like glycoprotein with a molecular mass of 500kDa. Its function has not yet been established but its overexpression can affect cell–cell and cell–matrix adhesion. To understand better the biological function of epiglycanin, we have studied the biochemical structure and biosynthesis of epiglycanin in TA3Ha cells. Pulse–chase labelling experiments with [3H]threonine revealed an early precursor with a molecular mass of approx. 300kDa containing approx. 5–10kDa of N-linked glycans.
