Experimental study of the ferroelastic phase transition in urea/n-heptadecane composite

Article Abstract:

The ferroelastic phase transition in urea/n-heptadecane CO[(N[H.sub2.]).sub.2]/[C.sub.17][H.sub.40] composite around the structural phase transition undergone by this crystal at 159 K is analyzed. A phenomenological model is used to describe the phase transition from the hexagonal to the orthorhombic phases of the urea, which has resulted in a linear relation between the excess entropy and the spontaneous strain and the bifringence.

Experimental charge density study of estrogens: 17[beta]-estradiol-urea

Article Abstract:

The charge density analysis of the series of 17[beta]-estradiol urea using optical coordinate system and slow, initially constrained refinement is presented. It is observed that the oxygen atoms seem to be near to [sp.sup.3] in shape, demonstrating two consistent, distinct lone pairs despite varying chemical environments.

The influence of Urea and trimethylamine-N-oxide on hydrophobic interactions

Article Abstract:

The potentials of mean force for pairs of neopentane molecules immersed in aqueous solutions containing urea, trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) obtained through molecular dynamics simulations suggest that TMAO does not counter the protein denaturing effect of urea by enhancing hydrophobic attraction amongst nonpolar groups.
