Title:
Frictionless Sliding of Single-Stranded DNA in a Carbon Nanotube Pore Observed by Single Molecule Force Spectroscopy

Abstract:
Smooth inner pores of carbon nanotubes (CNT) provide a fascinating model for studying biological transport. We used an atomic force microscope to pull a single-stranded DNA oligomer from a carbon nanotube pore. DNA extraction from CNT pores occurs at a nearly constant force, which is drastically different from the elastic profile commonly observed during polymer stretching with atomic force microscopy. We show that a combination of the frictionless nanotube pore walls and an unfavorable DNA solvation energy produces this constant force profiles.

Title:
Growth stimulation of gram (Cicer arietinum) plant by water soluble carbon nanotubes

Abstract:
Water soluble carbon nanotubes (wsCNTs) show enhancement of the growth rate of common gram (Cicer arietinum) plants. Treating plants with up to 6.0 mu g mL(-1) of wsCNT shows an increased growth rate in every part of the plant including the roots, shoots and also in branching. The noticeable difference between the wsCNT treated and controlled gram is the water uptake; in the former it is dramatically enhanced, suggesting better water absorption and retention related to enhanced growth. This work shows that unlike CNTs, wsCNTs are non-toxic to plant cells that conserve water transport in plants.

Abstract:
We report the conceptual construction of a one-way nanovalve based on a carbon nanotube intramolecular junction and a C-60. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrate the flow behavior of helium through the nanovalve as controlled by the pressure balance around C-60. The van der Waals interaction between C-60 and carbon nanotube keeps C-60 close to the junction, while the pressure balance around C-60 can juggle it between two adsorption sites, which in turn closes or opens the nanovalve.

Functional Relationships between Agonist Binding Sites and Coupling Regions of Homomeric Cys-Loop Receptors

Abstract:
Each subunit in a homopentameric Cys-loop receptor contains a specialized coupling region positioned between the agonist binding domain and the ion conductive channel. To determine the contribution of each coupling region to the stability of the open channel, we constructed a receptor subunit (alpha 7-5-HT3A) with both a disabled coupling region and a reporter mutation that alters unitary conductance, and coexpressed normal and mutant subunits. The resulting receptors show single-channel current amplitudes that are quantized according to the number of reporter mutations per receptor, allowing correlation of the number of intact coupling regions with mean open time. We find that each coupling region contributes an equal increment to the stability of the open channel. However, by altering the numbers and locations of active coupling regions and binding sites, we find that a coupling region in a subunit flanked by inactive binding sites can still stabilize the open channel. We a
lso determine minimal requirements for channel opening regardless of stability and find that channel opening can occur in a receptor with one active coupling region flanked by functional binding sites or with one active binding site flanked by functional coupling regions. The overall findings show that, whereas the agonist binding sites contribute interdependently and asymmetrically to open-channel stability, the coupling regions contribute independently and symmetrically.

Abstract:
The study focuses on the effects of C-60 filler on the phase inversion process and related changes in the morphology and separation properties of cast C-60-polysulfone nanocomposite membranes. The effects of C-60 on the rejection and permeability of the cast membranes are correlated to rheological and demixing properties of the corresponding casting mixtures. The observed differences between C-60-free and nanocomposite membranes are interpreted as resulting from enthalpic and entropic C-60-polysulfone interactions that drive and are mediated by the aggregation of C-60. Only 30 nm and smaller C-60 aggregates are observed in membranes with the smallest (1% C-60/polysulfone by mass) C-60 loading. In contrast, only aggregates larger than 30 nm are found in composites with 5% and 10% C-60 loadings. A correlation between the demixing rate and permeability and a counter-correlation between permeability and rejection are observed for nanocomposite membranes for the entire C-60 loadin
gs range studied. The observed accumulation of the filler at the surface of internal membrane pores is attributed to the expulsion of C60 aggregates to the free surface for an entropic gain. The findings have implications for the design of polymer nanocomposite membranes as well as for the lifecycle analysis of nanomaterial-enabled products. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract:
Using molecular dynamics simulations, we study the wetting of liquid iron in a carbon nanotube and on a graphene sheet. It is found that the contact angle of a droplet in a carbon nanotube increases linearly with the increase of wall curvature but is independent of the length of the filled liquid. The contact angle for a droplet on a graphene sheet decreases with the increasing droplet size. The line tension of a droplet on a graphene sheet is also obtained. Detailed studies show that liquid iron near the carbon walls exhibits the ordering tendencies in both the normal and tangential directions.
