Macromolecular self‐assembly (MSA) has been an active and fruitful research field since the
1980s, especially in this new century, which is promoted by the remarkable developments in …

Compaction is the process in which a large DNA molecule undergoes a transition between
an elongated conformation and a very compact form. In nature, DNA compaction occurs to …

Type Ib diamonds emit bright fluorescence at 550–800 nm from nitrogen-vacancy point
defects,(NV) 0 and (NV)−, produced by high-energy ion beam irradiation and subsequent …

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to model proteins that diffuse to DNA, bind, and
dissociate; in the absence of any explicit interaction between proteins, or between …

In this perspective article, we focus on recent developments in the theory of charge effects in
biological DNA-related systems. The electrostatic effects on different levels of DNA …

A strategy for the design of cotton flame retardant coatings is described, exploiting the
natural intumescent formulation of nucleic acids, the intrinsic thermal inertia of TiO 2 ceramic …

The complex formation between DNA (pUC19-supercoiled DNA, 2686 base pairs) and
some polycations of different chain topologies in aqueous solution was studied by light …

Structurally tunable two-dimensional (2D) arrays of nanoscale objects are important for
modulating functional responses of thin films. We demonstrate that such tunable and …

We report the synthesis and characterisation of photosensitive cationic surfactants with
various hydrophobic tail lengths. These molecules, called AzoCx, are used as …

A kinetic study of the interaction of gold nanoparticles capped with N-(2-mercaptopropionyl)
glycine with double stranded DNA was carried out in water and in salt (NaCl) solutions. The …
