Steroids in molecular recognition

Article Abstract:

Biological steroid recognition on the basis of X-ray crystal structure analyses which will help in the design of synthetic receptors was analyzed. Steroid complexation properties of natural and modified cyclodextrins were discussed. Commercial availability, rigid tetracyclic frames, highly functionalized amphiphilic surfaces of steroids contribute to their application as receptors or as building blocks for systems that bind and/or catalyze.

Nearest-neighbor recognition in phospholipid membranes

Article Abstract:

Nearest-neighbor recognition methods were used in understanding he thermodynamic preference of a lipid to become a nearest-neighbor of another in the bilayer state. These methods were found to produce definitive evidence for randomly arranged phospholipids in the fluid phase, provide compelling evidence for the presence of lateral heterogeneity in fluid layers, and quantitatively measure the thermodynamic driving force.

Ultrathin organic films grown by organic molecular beam deposition and related techniques

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted on the development of ultrathin organic films through organic molecular beam deposition and related methods. Using available state-of-the-art technology, thin films with highly ordered structures were grown. Resulting organic thin films exhibited properties that make them ideal tools for studying the electronic and optical characteristics of various materials.
