The Role of Electrostatic Interactions in Complex Formation between Bacterial Luciferase and NADPH:FMN-oxidoreductase by Anna A. Deeva, Elena V. Nemtseva, Valentina A. Kratasyuk

“…A possible mechanism of complex formation between bacterial luciferase and NADPH:FMNoxidoreductase from Vibrio harveyi sustained by electrostatic forces is studied. The complex between the enzymes is important for a direct FMNH2 transfer without a contact with solvent, which could cause a rapid autooxidation and the formation of reactive oxygen species. …”

Electrostatic Charge on Flying Hummingbirds and Its Potential Role in Pollination. by Marc Badger, Victor Manuel Ortega-Jimenez, Lisa von Rabenau, Ashley Smiley, Robert Dudley

“…A metal hummingbird model charged to 400 pC induced bending of floral stamens in four plants (Nicotiana, Hemerocallis, Penstemon, and Aloe spp.), and also attracted falling Lycopodium spores at distances of < 2 mm. Electrostatic forces may therefore influence pollen transfer onto nectar-feeding birds.…”

Modeling the Electrostatic Actuation of Nanomechanical Pillar Dimers by Andreas Kainz, Andreas Kainz, Roman Beigelbeck, Silvan Schmid

“…However, one major obstacle still stands in the way of their practical use: The efficient transduction (actuation &amp; detection) of the vibrational motion of such tiny structures, even more so when large arrays of such nanopillars need to be driven. While electrostatic forces are typically weak and, on the nanoscale even weaker when compared to a cantilever-like stiffness, it is worth revisiting the possibility of electrostatic actuation of nanomechanical pillars and other nanomechanical structures. …”

Formation of Nonwoven Webs with Electrostatic Field Effect by Ahmad S. Kanah, Mohamed Turkawi

“…In this research, the rotary electrospinning system was used and a prototype was made to study the process and the complete visualization in terms of the correlation of the electrostatic forces to the formation of nanofibers  by preparing polymeric solutions and exposing them to the electric field between the positive electrode (the serrated cylinder) and the Grounded electrode (plate) and produced high-precision fibers with a diameter (185nm) at 25 kV, whereas the installation of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was with different concentrations and the formed fibers possessed an effective surface and deposited on a collector electrode forming nonwoven webs and high productivity is the most important feature of this system compared with the traditional electrospinning system.…”
