Ferroelectric-gate carbon nanotube field effect transistor for non-volatile memory application by Cheah, Jason Jun Wei

“…However, the observed hysteresis loop is attributed to the charge injection at the carbon nanotube-PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3 interface, similar to that observed in SiO2- gate carbon nanotube field effect transistors. Electrostatic force microscopy is conducted to verify the presence of the surface charges and a temperature dependent study is carried out to clarify the operation mechanism of the transistor. …”

Effect of inulin on the pasting and retrogradation characteristics of three different crystalline starches and their interaction mechanism by Xiaolong Ji, Zhiwen Wang, Xueyuan Jin, Zhenpeng Qian, Le Qin, Xudan Guo, Mingsong Yin, Yanqi Liu

“…Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and interaction force experiments results showed that IN interacted with amylose through hydrogen bonding and observed the presence of electrostatic force in the complexed system. Based on the above, experimental results speculate that the mechanism of interaction between IN and three crystalline starches was the same, and the difference in physicochemical properties was mainly related to the ratio of amylose to amylopectin in different crystalline starches. …”

Preparation, Identification, Molecular Docking Study and Protective Function on HUVECs of Novel ACE Inhibitory Peptides from Protein Hydrolysate of Skipjack Tuna Muscle by Shuo-Lei Zheng, Qian-Bin Luo, Shi-Kun Suo, Yu-Qin Zhao, Chang-Feng Chi, Bin Wang

“…Molecular docking analysis illustrated that the high ACEi activity of SP and VDRYF was attributed to effective interaction with the active sites/pockets of ACE by hydrogen bonding, electrostatic force, and hydrophobic interaction. Furthermore, SP and VDRYF could significantly up-regulate nitric oxide (NO) production and down-regulate endothelin-1 (ET-1) secretion in HUVECs after 24 h treatment, but also abolish the negative effect of 0.5 μM norepinephrine (NE) on the generation of NO and ET-1. …”

“…Molecular modeling and docking analyses suggested that the scFv77-2 antibody shaped a proper cavity to embed the whole CCK-B peptide molecule and that a steady-state complex was formed relying on intermolecular forces, including hydrogen bonding, electrostatic force, and hydrophobic interactions. Thus, the scFv antibody can be applied for mechanistic intermolecular interactions and functional in vivo studies of CCK-BR. …”

Production, identification, in silico analysis, and cytoprotection on H2O2-induced HUVECs of novel angiotensin-I-converting enzyme inhibitory peptides from Skipjack tuna roes by Wang-Yu Zhu, Yu-Mei Wang, Ming-Xue Ge, Hua-Wei Wu, Shuo-Lei Zheng, Huai-Yu Zheng, Bin Wang

“…The molecular docking experiment elucidated that the significant ACEi ability of WGESF (TRP3), IKSW (TRP6), YSHM (TRP9), and WSPGF (TRP12) was mostly owed to their tight bond with ACE’s active sites/pockets via hydrophobic interaction, electrostatic force and hydrogen bonding. Additionally, WGESF (TRP3), IKSW (TRP6), YSHM (TRP9), and WSPGF (TRP12) could dramatically elevate the Nitric Oxide (NO) production and bring down endothelin-1 (ET-1) secretion in HUVECs, but also abolish the opposite impact of norepinephrine (0.5 μM) on the production of NO and ET-1. …”
