Interface Interaction

Fig. 2.17 A / -peptide (92) two-helix bundle [1 79]. The parallel bundle was designed by dimerizing a 3,4-helical peptide via a disulfide bond. The interaction interface of the bundle consist of four hydrophobic residues ((S)-amino valeric acid, / -HLeu and...

This direct-stacking model (Olofsson et al., 2004 Serag et al., 2002) therefore proposes that TTR maintains much of its native structure, including the native dimer interface, in the fibrillar state. A new interaction interface is gained with the shifting of /(-strands at the ends of two sheets, driving fibril formation.

CdS [92]. The ionization potentials of CdTe(lll), (111), and (110) amount to 5.3, 5.6, and 5.65 eV, those of epitaxial CdS films deposited onto these surfaces are given by 6.25, 6.85, and 6.75eV, respectively. For comparison, the ionization potentials of polycrystalline CdTe and CdS films amount to 5.8 and 6.9 eV [92]. The lower ionization potential of the cation terminated (111) or (0001) surfaces is related to a smaller surface dipole. The different ionization potentials can also affect the band alignment at weakly interacting interfaces [93].

An alternative to filter docking solutions is to include external information derived from the analysis of evolutionary properties of protein families. The analyses of interaction interfaces have shown that the degree of conservation for these areas is not significantly higher than other areas in the protein [97] (see section 8.3.3). 

In this paper we develop a new method for finding the three-dimensional space that surrounds a substrate/ligand. This space, which is the chemical equivalent of the receptor, is represented as a protein structure, referred herein as a "pseudo-receptor". A variety of computational tools are used to create the pseudo-receptor. A molecular mechanics and dynamics program, CHARMm(l), is used to calculate the energy and conformational features of the pseudo-receptor. The program QUANTA(l) is used to define the preliminary protein sequence, secondary structure, graphically examine molecular interactions, interface with CHARMm, and model amino-acid mutations in the protein sequence. 

By contrast with polymer blends (see Part 7.5.1.), emulsions are prepared by carefully designing the interface system and by sequential addition of ingredients. Both elements are essential when 96 vol% of one liquid must be dispersed in 4 vol% of another. If, due to interactions of emulsifiers, the continuous phase becomes viscoelastic, the emulsion has high consistency or a body. There is gradual passage of structures, from rotating doublets in dilute systems, to entrapment of the dispersed phase in a continuous network of interacting interfaces. Consequently, emulsions can show Newtonian character as well as a complex thixotropic and viscoelastic one [Nielsen, 1977]. 

In these two equations r/ad, is the viscosity of the adsorbed polymer, >i2e the (non-equilibrium) excess interfacial tension and y,2 the (equilibrium) interfacia] tension, so that the quotient yi2j i2 describes the distance of the thermodynamic system from the equilibrium state. It is ea.sy to see that such behaviour is not at all in accordance with the idea of statistically distributed dispersed phases and non-interacting interfaces.
