A first principles study on the structure of ice-VI: Static distortion, molecular geometry, and proton ordering

Article Abstract:

The structure of ice-VI by density functional methods is studied and the intrinsic disorder is investigated by studying all ice-rule-allowed ice configurations in its primary unit cell. Result shows that there are two interpenetrating but independent hydrogen-bonded sublattices in ice-VI, however, the molecular geometry of water molecules in ice-VI is closely related to other intermediate pressure phases, which are characterized by considerable distortions in bond angles and distances.

Conformational flexibility controls proton transfer between the methionine hydroxy sulfuranyl radical and the N-terminal amino group in Thr- (X)n-Met peptides

Article Abstract:

The experimental and molecular modeling results clearly show that the efficiency of acetaldehyde formation during HO radical-induced oxidation of Thr-(X)n-Met peptides depends mainly on the conformational flexibility of the oligopeptide backbone. A simulation performed using the LD-generated statistical distribution of peptide conformers includes the averaged effects of the solvent without requiring the explicit presence of solvent molecules.

Fine morphology of proton-conducting ionomers

Article Abstract:

A structural model of Nafion-type membranes is presented. A combined analysis of the ionomer molecular structure and conductivity as a function of water content, which produces the model, is described in detail.
