Modeling of formation and breaking of lubricant bridge in the head–disk interface by molecular dynamic simulation by Dai, Xiangyu, Li, Hui, Lei, Xiao, Shen, Shengnan, Wu, Shijing, Liu, Sen, Du, Hejun

“…And the duration of lubricant bridge is notably affected by heating-up time, rotation speed and bearing pressure. A shorter heating-up time leads to a longer duration of lubricant bridge, whereas a higher rotation speed and bearing pressure reduces the duration of lubricant bridge.…”

A 2'-alkynylnucleotide strategy for site-directed spin labelling of DNA by Haugland, M

“…Herein is also outlined the preparation of azide-bearing nitroxyl radicals. After site-selective incorporation of 2'-alkynylnucleosides into DNA using a standard solid-supported phosphoramidite protocol, the modified oligonucleotides were spin labelled with the azide-bearing nitroxyl spin labels via the Cu(I)-catalysed azide-alkyne [3+2] Huisgen cycloaddition (CuAAC or 'click' reaction). …”
