  1. 6. Molecular Alligator Clips: A Study of Metal-Molecule Contacts for Molecular Electronics

    Författare :Anton Grigoriev; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nonequilibrium Green s functions; single crystal surfaces; nanostructures; chemisorption; selenium; low index single crystal surface; density functional calculations; organic molecules; sulphur; nonequilibrium electron transport; gold;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis we present a computational study of the elementary building blocks for molecular electronics, interconnected electronic devices with critical dimensions below 5 nm. Building electronic circuits on that scale requires stable connection between the various parts of the device and to the macroscopic metal electrodes, needed for power supply, support and integration with conventional electronics.

  3. 7. Painfully Energetic : A tale of two proteins potentially connected

    Författare :Eva Sperling; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Complex I; Mrp-antiporter; Membrane bound hydrogenases; TRP ion channels; TRPA1; thermosensation; chemosensation; 23Na-NMR;

    Sammanfattning : NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (Complex I) is the first enzyme of the respiratory chain and is involved in energy conservation generating an electro-chemical gradient across a membrane. The enzyme can be divided into a membrane spanning domain and a hydrophilic domain, which protrudes from the membrane. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Protein-water interactions studied by molecular dynamics simulations

    Författare :Filip Persson; Biofysikalisk kemi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MD simulations; NMR nuclear magnetic resonance ; MRD; water dynamics; protein dynamics; protein hydration; Amide hydrogen exchange; Internal water; compressibility;

    Sammanfattning : Most proteins have evolved to function optimally in aqueous environments, and the interactions between protein and water therefore play a fundamental role in the stability, dynamics, and function of proteins. Although we understand many details of water, we understand much less about the protein-water interface. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Gas detection is crucial in a wide range of fields and applications, such as safety and process control in the industry, atmospheric sciences, and breath diagnostics. Optical gas sensing offers some key advantages, compared to other sensing methods such as electrochemical and semiconductor sensing: high specificity, fast response, and minimal drift. LÄS MER
