Abstract

Infrared spectroscopy is used to probe the dynamics of invitro samples of DNA prepared as solutions and as solid unoriented films.The lowest frequency DNA mode identified in the far-infrared spectra ofthe DNA samples is found to shift in frequency when the solvent influencein the hydration shell is altered. The lowest frequency mode also hascharacteristics that are similar to beta - relaxations identified inother glass forming polymers.

Thermal fluctuation and 1/ f noise in oriented and unoriented Y sub 1 Ba sub 2 Cu sub 3 O sub 7 minus x films

Journal Article Black, R.D. ; Turner, L.G. ; Mogro-Campero, A. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters; (USA)

We report on electrical noise measurements made on YBCO (Y{sub 1}Ba{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{ital x}}) films on SrTiO{sub 3}, on bulk silicon with a ZrO{sub 2} buffer layer, and on thin dielectric membranes. We have found that 1/{ital f} noise predominates in the unoriented films and that thermal fluctuation noise is the chief source of noise in good films on SrTiO{sub 3}.

Direct dynamics for free radical kinetics in solution: Solvent effect on the rate constant for the reaction of methanol with atomic hydrogen

Journal Article Chuang, Y.Y. ; Radhakrishnan, M.L. ; Fast, P.L. ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry A: Molecules, Spectroscopy, Kinetics, Environment, amp General Theory

Recent years have seen great progress in modeling solvation effects on chemical reactions, especially ionic reactions and polar rearrangements. Radical chain reactions, in which a radical abstracts an atom from a molecule which is thereby converted to a radical, are an important class of reactions that has been less well studied. Such bimolecular radical substitution (S{sub R}2) reactions typically have smaller solvent effects than ionic reactions, and thus they provide a sensitive test of theory. The authors calculate the rate constant for the reaction {sup {sm_bullet}}H + CH{sub 3}OH {yields} H{sub 2} + {sup {sm_bullet}}CH{sub 2}OH both in the gasmore »« less

Silicon-Germanium Films Deposited by Low Frequency PE CVD: Effect of H2 and Ar Dilution

Journal Article Kosarev, A ; Torres, A ; Hernandez, Y ; ... - Journal of the Materials Research Society

We have studied structure and electrical properties of Si{sub 1-Y}Ge{sub Y}:H films deposited by low frequency PE CVD over the entire composition range from Y=0 to Y=1. The deposition rate of the films and their structural and electrical properties were measured for various ratios of the germane/silane feed gases and with and without dilution by Ar and by H{sub 2}. Structure and composition was studied by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Surface morphology was characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM). We found: (1) The deposition rate increased with Y maximizingmore »« less

Folding of a DNA Hairpin Loop Structure in Explicit Solvent Using Replica-Exchange Molecular Dynamics Simulations.

Journal Article Kannan, Srinivasaraghavan ; Zacharias, Martin W. - Biophysical Journal, 93:3218-3228

The research described in this product was performed in part in the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, a national scientific user facility sponsored by the Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research and located at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Hairpin loop structures are common motifs in folded nucleic acids. The 59-GCGCAGC sequence in DNA forms a characteristic and stable trinucleotide hairpin loop flanked by a two basepair stem helix. To better understand the structure formation of this hairpin loop motif in atomic detail, we employed replica-exchange molecular dynamics (RexMD) simulations starting from a single-stranded DNA conformation. In two independentmore »« less
