Self-Association of Phosphorylase Kinase under Molecular Crowding Conditions
Self-association of phosphorylase kinase (PhK) has been studied using analytical ultracentrifugation and dynamic light scattering under the... -
Adsorption of Poly(vinyl formamide-co-vinyl amine) (PVFA-co-PVAm) onto Metal Surfaces
The formation of stable metal/polymer joints is an enormous challenge in material sciences. Good adhesion requires an interphase which is able to... -
High-resolution Grazing Incidence Small Angle X-ray Scattering: Investigation of Micrometer Sized Structured Polymer Films
While bulk samples are routinely probed by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and ultra-small angle X-ray scattering (USAXS), the grazing... -
Ab initio and Constrained Modeling of Phosphorylase
The joint use of small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and hydrodynamic data permits biologically useful reconstructions of protein structures to be... -
Polyferrocenylsilane Block Copolymers: Nanotubes and Nanowires through Self-Assembly
Polyferrocenyldimethylsilane (PFS) diblock copolymers with polyisoprene (PFS-PI) or with polydimethylsiloxane (PFS-PDMS) self-assemble in simple... -
Carbene Complexes of Heme Proteins and Iron Porphyrin Models
The possible formation of carbene complexes of cytochromes P450 enzymes in various metabolisms of xenobiotics is first described. In view of these... -
