Abstract Knowledge of the mesoscopic morphology of condensed phase domains formed
after the main phase transition in the two-phase coexistence region of Langmuir monolayers …

The monolayer characteristics of selected N-alkanoyl substituted α-amino acid are studied
with the objective to demonstrate the specific effect of the chemical structure of the polar …

The relationship of molecular chirality and biology is intriguing. Our curiosity prompts the
question as to why diverse natural biological molecules are overwhelmingly dissymmetric. Is …

Chiral interfaces and molecular recognition phenomena are of special interest not only for
the understanding of biological recognition processes but also for the potential application in …

Demixing of components has long been described in model membranes. It is a
consequence of non-ideal lateral interactions between membrane components, and it …

Recent experimental and theoretical studies on functional self-assemblies formed at
interfaces are presented and placed in perspective to earlier studies. The focus is on chiral …

The quantum-chemical semiempiric PM3 method is used to calculate the thermodynamic
parameters of clusterization for the racemic α-amino acids C n H2 n+ 1CHNH2COOH with …

The chiral discrimination energies in domains composed of chiral amphiphilic monolayers
are theoretically studied. First, calculations on simpler model systems are carried out which …

In recent experimental studies, a number of morphological features have been revealed on
amphiphilic assemblies that need consideration of the molecular chiral structure and the …

Thermodynamic and structural properties of the N-alkanoyl-substituted α-amino acids
threonine and serine, differing only by one CH3 group in the head group, are determined …
