Structure and desorption energetics of ultrathin D(sub 2)O ice overlayers on serine- and serinephosphate-terminated self-assembled monolayers

Article Abstract:

A study to investigate the structure and desorption dynamics of thin D(sub 2)O overlayers deposited on serine- and serinephosphate- terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) is conducted. The reflection absorption spectra obtained at sub-monolayer D(sub 2)O coverage reveals that surface modes dominate on the serine SAM surface, whereas vibrational modes characteristic for bulk ice are more prominent on the serinephosphate SAMs.

Mimicking the properties of antifreeze glycoproteins: Synthesis and characterization of a model system for ice nucleation and antifreeze studies

Article Abstract:

Synthesis of beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-GalNAc coupled to HOC2H4NHCOC15H30SH is described. The compound is coadsorbed at various proportions with C2H5OC2NHCOC15H30SH to form statistically mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold in an attempt to mimic the properties of the active domain in antifreeze glycoproteins.

Aggregation of antifreeze protein and impact on antifreeze activity

Article Abstract:

The effect of the antifreeze protein aggregation in water on ice nucleation kinetics based on a newly developed model is examined. This model allows to quantitatively analyze the correlation between the antifreeze effect and the adsorption of the antifreeze protein on ice nuclei as well as that of foreign particles.
