We present an overview of the studies of ion pairing in aqueous media of the past decade. In
these studies, interactions between ions, and between ions and water, are investigated with …

It is a textbook knowledge that charges of the same polarity repel each other. For two
monovalent ions in the gas phase at a close contact this repulsive interaction amounts to …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are anti-infectives that have the potential to be used as a
novel and untapped class of biotherapeutics. Modes of action of antimicrobial peptides …

A combination of Fourier transform infrared and phase transition measurements as well as
molecular computer simulations, and thermodynamic modeling were performed to probe the …

The interactions of two highly positively charged short peptide sequences with negatively
charged lipid bilayers were explored by fluorescence binding assays and all-atom molecular …

Coacervation of mussel adhesive proteins (MAPs) is proposed as a potential strategy that
mussels may use during secretion due to their high concentration density, lack of dispersion …

Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements reveal a striking difference in
intermolecular interactions between two short highly charged peptides—deca-arginine …

Raman spectroscopy in combination with multivariate curve resolution (Raman-MCR) is
used to explore the interaction between water and various kosmotropic and chaotropic …

Utilization of graphene-based materials for selective carbon dioxide capture has been
demonstrated recently as a promising technological approach. In this study we report results …

Multifunctional materials that exhibit various switchable properties and simultaneously
feature excellent luminescent properties boast tremendous technological importance …
