Electrostatic profile

Electrostatic profiles of drugs before and after aerosolization from commercial Turbohaler and prototype Dryhaler were characterized by Byron, Peart, and Staniforth Fine particle (<5.8pm) charges of budesonide aerosols from Pulmicort Turbohaler were... 

Q.23.4 Consider Fig. 24.4 in the text. Explain the cytoplasmic, membrane, and extracellular components of the above electrostatic profile. 

A.23.4 Tire cytoplasmic electrostatic profile is created by surface charges, with more negatively charged proteins and fewer positive ions then the extracellular side. Tlie membrane portion the electrostatic profile is strictly due to the transmembrane potential the membrane may be treated as a dielectric continuum with a dielectric constant of 8. The electrostatic profile due to the extracellular surface of the plasma membrane assuming fewer negatively charged proteins and more positive ions than the cytoplasmic side. 

The working principle of the EBIS can be understood from O Fig. 50.9. An intensive electron beam is collimated by a very strong axial magnetic field. Neutrals are hit and ionized by these electrons. The ions are radially trapped by means of the space charge of the electron beam. The axial trapping of the ions is caused by a special electrostatic profile generated by a number of drift tubes. The potential of the drift tubes can be independently varied, thus different potential shapes can be achieved (O Fig. 50.9A-C).

Morishima et al. [75, 76] have shown a remarkable effect of the polyelectrolyte surface potential on photoinduced ET in the laser photolysis of APh-x (8) and QPh-x (12) with viologens as electron acceptors. Decay profiles for the SPV (14) radical anion (SPV- ) generated by the photoinduced ET following a 347.1-nm laser excitation were monitored at 602 nm (Fig. 13) [75], For APh-9, the SPV- transient absorption persisted for several hundred microseconds after the laser pulse. The second-order rate constant (kb) for the back ET from SPV- to the oxidized Phen residue (Phen+) was estimated to be 8.7 x 107 M 1 s-1 for the APh-9-SPV system. For the monomer model system (AM(15)-SPV), on the other hand, kb was 2.8 x 109 M-1 s-1. This marked retardation of the back ET in the APh-9-SPV system is attributed to the electrostatic repulsion of SPV- by the electric field on the molecular surface of APh-9. The addition of NaCl decreases the electrostatic interaction. In fact, it increased the back ET rate. For example, at NaCl concentrations of 0.025 and 0.2 M, the value of kb increased to 2.5 x 108 and... 

Surface force profiles between these polyelectrolyte brush layers have consisted of a long-range electrostatic repulsion and a short-range steric repulsion, as described earlier. Short-range steric repulsion has been analyzed quantitatively to provide the compressibility modulus per unit area (T) of the poly electrolyte brushes as a function of chain density (F) (Fig. 12a). The modulus F decreases linearly with a decrease in the chain density F, and suddenly increases beyond the critical density. The maximum value lies at F = 0.13 chain/nm. When we have decreased the chain density further, the modulus again linearly decreased relative to the chain density, which is natural for chains in the same state. The linear dependence of Y on F in both the low- and the high-density regions indicates that the jump in the compressibility modulus should be correlated with a kind of transition between the two different states. 

A perturbative approach to Eq. (12) has recently been developed by Gomez-Monivas et al. [37]. For a dielectric film on top of a flat metallic surface, these authors find that the electrostatic force is a convolution of the instrumental resolution with an effective profile... 

Variational electrostatic projection method. In some instances, the calculation of PMF profiles in multiple dimensions for complex chemical reactions might not be feasible using full periodic simulation with explicit waters and ions even with the linear-scaling QM/MM-Ewald method [67], To remedy this, we have developed a variational electrostatic projection (VEP) method [75] to use as a generalized solvent boundary potential in QM/MM simulations with stochastic boundaries. The method is similar in spirit to that of Roux and co-workers [76-78], which has been recently...
