  2. 1. Solvation properties of proteins in membranes

    Author : Anna CV Johansson; Erik Lindahl; Mounir Tarek; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; membrane protein; lipid bilayer; free energy; solvation; insertion; molecular dynamics simulations; protein mass fraction; Theoretical chemistry; Teoretisk kemi; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Knowledge about the insertion and stabilization of membrane proteins is a key step towards understanding their function and enabling membrane protein design. Transmembrane helices are normally quite hydrophobic to insert efficiently, but there are many exceptions with unfavorable polar or titratable residues. READ MORE

  4. 2. On the Thermodynamic Solvation of Biomolecules in Solution

    Author : Stefan Hervö Hansen; Beräkningskemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Solubility; Solvation; Aggregation; Statistical thermodynamics; Molecular dynamics; Monte Carlo simulations; Free energy calculations; Energy-representation theory of solvation; Proteins; Salt bridges; Caffeine;

    Abstract : The topic solvation thermodynamics is an important aspect of chemistry, dealing with the effects introduced by solvents onto solutes. In particular, biological systems are highly heterogeneous in their choice of solvent typically characterized by either being in a polar or non-polar environment. READ MORE

  5. 3. Cation Solvation in Water and Acetonitrile from Theoretical Calculations

    Author : Daniel Spångberg; Kersti Hermansson; Philippe Bopp; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Inorganic chemistry; molecular dynamics; ab initio; lithium; sodium; magnesium; aluminum; metal ion; water; acetonitrile; solution; solvation; Oorganisk kemi; Inorganic chemistry; Oorganisk kemi;

    Abstract : Metal ions solvated in aqueous, non-aqueous, and mixtures of solvents occur in many chemical contexts, for example in electrochemical applications and solvent separation. Solvated ions appear in high concentration in the living organisms, where their presence or absence can fundamentally alter the functions of life. READ MORE

  6. 4. Mechanisms of Biopolymer Solvation: Development of a two-component ionic liquid solvent system

    Author : Susanne Bylin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ionic liquids; solvation; mechanism; xylan; lignin; cellulose; wood components;

    Abstract : Ionic liquids are of potential interest in the processing of lignocellulosic biomass, and/or its components, for the purpose of producing renewable and value-added biomaterials. An understanding of how solvation can be achieved and the way in which the feedstock biopolymers are affected, however, needs to be gained prior to a viable implementation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Development and Application of a First Principle Molecular Model for Solvent Effects
