Abstract:
Reddish Au condensates, predominant atom clusters and minor amount of multiply twinned particles and fcc nanoparticles with internal compressive stress, were produced by pulsed laser ablation on gold target in de-ionized water under a very high power density. Such condensates were self-assembled as lamellae and then nano- to micro-diameter tubes with multiple walls when aged at room temperature in water for up to 40 days. The nano- and micro-tubes have a lamellar- and relaxed fcc-type wall, respectively, both following partial epitaxial relationship with the co-existing multiply twinned nanoparticles. The entangled tubes, being mesomorphic with a large extent of bifurcation, flexibility, opaqueness, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering, may have potential encapsulated and catalytic/label applications in biomedical systems.

Title:
Computational Study of a Nanobiosensor: A Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Functionalized with the Coxsackie-Adenovirus Receptor

Abstract:
Combining single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) with biological molecules provides a route to novel nanoscale materials with many promising applications in nanotechnology and nanomedicine. Recent experiments show that CNTs covalently functionalized with the coxsackie-adenovirus receptor (CAR) serve as biosensors capable of specifically recognizing Knob proteins from the adenovirus capsid. These experiments suggest that CAR retains its biologically active form when bound to CNT, but a detailed understanding of the structural changes that occur within CAR after CNT attachment is lacking. To address this, we have performed all-atom classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of CAR and the CAR-Knob complex in aqueous solution alone and also when covalently linked to CNT. The MD results show that the CNT damps structural fluctuations in CAR and reduces the internal mobility of the protein. However, CNT induces very little structural deformation and does not affect CAR's ability!
to specifically bind Knob. This MD study verifies that CAR retains its biological functionality when attached to CNT and provides a computational approach to rationalize nanobiosensing devices.

Abstract:
The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) is a ligand-gated ion channel protein whose transmembrane domain (TM-domain) is believed to be responsible for channel gating via a hydrophobic effect. In this work, we perform molecular dynamics and Brownian dynamics simulations to investigate the effect of transmembrane potential on the conformation and water occupancy of TM-domain, and the resulting ion permeation events. The results show that the behavior of the hydrophobic gate is voltage-dependent. Large hyperpolarized membrane potential can change the conformation of TM-domain and water occupancy in this region, which may enable ion conduction. An electrostatic gating mechanism is also proposed from our simulations, which seems to play a role in addition to the well-known hydrophobic effect.
