Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientists have long desired to create synthetic systems that function with the precision and efficiency of biological systems. Using new techniques, researchers are now uncovering principles that could allow the creation of synthetic materials that can perform tasks as precise as biological systems. To assess the current work and future promise of the biology-materials science intersection, the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation asked the NRC to identify the most compelling questions and opportunities at this interface, suggest strategies to address them, and consider connections with national priorities such as healthcare and economic growth. This book presents a discussion of principles governing biomaterial design, a description of advanced materials for selected functions such as energy and national security, an assessment of biomolecular materials research tools, and an examination of infrastructure and resources for bridging biological and materials science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What materials designers most envy is nature's building design. It has long been a dream for scientists to mimic and further engineer the behaviors, interactions, and reactions of biomolecules beyond experimental limits. To interpret and facilitate novel materials' design, a hierarchical approach is presented in this dissertation. With the advent of molecular modeling, many biomolecular interactions can be studied. Using both computational and experimental approaches, we investigated the self-assembly of fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-conjugated dipeptides (which are called "biomimetic materials") including Fmoc-dialanine (Fmoc-AA) and Fmoc-Alanine-Lactic acid (Fmoc-ALac) molecules. We simulated the assembly of Fmoc-dipeptides and compared with experiments. We illustrated not only the angstrom-scale self-assembled structures, but also a prevalent polyproline II conformation with [Beta]-sheet-like hydrogen bonding pattern among short peptides. Further, simulations to calculate the potential of mean force (PMF) and melting temperatures were performed to gain deeper insights into the inter-fibril interaction. An energetic preference for fibril-fibril surface contact was demonstrated for the first time, which arises from a fibril-level amphiphilicity. From our study, a hierarchical self-assembly process mediated by the balance between hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity of fibril structures was unveiled. The next major topic in this dissertation involves the development of a chemically accurate polarizable multipole-based molecular mechanics model with the investigation of a series of chloromethanes. The ability of molecular modeling to make prediction is determined by the accuracy of underlying physical model. The traditional fixed-charge based force field is severely limited when applied to highly charged systems, halogen, phosphate and sulfate compounds. Via a sophisticated electrostatic model, an accurate description of electrostatics in organochlorine compounds and halogen bonds were achieved. Our model demonstrated its advantages by reproducing the experimental density and heat of vaporization; besides, the calculated hydration free energy, solvent reaction fields, and interaction energies of several homo- and heterodimer of chloromethanes were all in good agreement with experimental and ab initio data.

Download or read book Biomolecular Electronics written by Nikolai Vsevolodov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The properties of materials depend on the nature of the macromolecules, small molecules and inorganic components and the interfaces and interactions between them. Polymer chemistry and physics, and inorganic phase structure and density are major factors that influence the performance of materials. In addition, molecular recognition, organic-inorganic interfaces and many other types of interactions among components are key issues in determining the properties of materials for a wide range of applications. Materials require ments are becoming more and more specialized to meet increasingly demand ing needs, from specific environmental stresses to high performance or biomedical applications such as matrices for controlled release tissue scaf folds. One approach to meet these performance criteria is to achieve better control over the tailoring of the components and their interactions that govern the material properties. This goal is driving a great deal of ongoing research in material science laboratories. In addition, control at the molecular level of interactions between these components is a key in many instances in order to reach this goal since traditional approaches used to glue, stitch or fasten parts together can no longer suffice at these new levels of manipulation to achieve higher performance. In many cases, molecular recognition and self-assembly must begin to drive these processes to achieve the levels of control desired. This same need for improved performance has driven Nature over millenia to attain higher and higher complexity.
