Brownian dynamics simulation of soft matter with hydrodynamics: methods for constrained systems and shear processing of 2D materials by Funkenbusch, William Tian

“…We use the conformational and rotational properties of the sheet simulations to explain this behavior, demonstrating a new explanation for the non-monotonic rheological properties of 2D materials which does not involve sheet-sheet interactions (which are rare in dilute suspensions) or thermal energy (which is often small in sheet systems). …”

The toxicity of amyloid ß oligomers by Zhao, Li Na, Long, Hon Wai, Mu, Yuguang, Chew, Lock Yue

“…Such interaction gives rises to phase transitions in the sub-structures of the Aβ peptide from α-helical to β-sheet structure. By means of a coarse-grained model, we exhibit the tendency of β-sheet structures to aggregate, thus providing further insights to the process of membrane induced aggregation. …”
