Stable binding of DNA to zwitterionic lipid bilayers in aqueous solutions
Article Abstract:
DNA binds strongly with gel-phase dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine bilayers in solutions. These finding shows that cellular membranes do not repel foreign genetic materials. The binding has a lower limit of 2 kT per helical turn with kT the thermal energy at room temperature. The height of the membrane-bound DNA is the same as the diameter of the DNA. No compression has been observed by using the tip of a probe force of about 0.1 nN.

Three-component spin echoes
Article Abstract:
Research was conducted to examine and measure the effects of radiation damping on nuclear magnetic resonance pulse transient echo and free induction decay signals in the presence of inhomogeneous magnetic fields. An analytical theorem is extended to describe the echo characteristics of several two-pulse and stimulated three-pulse echo sequences. Results indicate that multiple echoes take place for a class of two-pulse sequences.

COMPASS force field for 14 inorganic molecules, He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, H2, O2, N2, NO, CO, CO2, NO2, CS2, and SO2 in liquid phases
Article Abstract:
It has been possible to produce a set of molecular force field parameters for 14 common small inorganic molecules. It was established that the parameters obtained are effective in predicting the equations of state for these molecules in a very wide range of experimental conditions.
