13. Effect of viscosity and temperature on the microstructure of BBT thin films
Thin films of BBT were deposited on silicate and Pt/Ti /SiO2 (111) substrates by spin- coating from the polymeric precursor method (Pechini process). The obtained films were characterized by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy. The influence of viscosity on the morphology of BBT thin films as well as the influence of temperature

14. Potential of mean force treatment of salt-mediated protein crystallization.
In the initial stages of crystallization of proteins, monomers aggregate rapidly and form nuclei and large fractal clusters, as previously shown by dynamic light scattering experiments (Georgalis, Y., J. Schüler, J. Frank, D. M. Soumpasis, and W. Saenger. 1995. Protein crystallization screening through scattering techniques. Adv. Colloid Interface Sci. 58:5

15. Atomic force microscopy of insulin single crystals: direct visualization of molecules and crystal growth.
Atomic force microscopy performed on single crystals of three different polymorphs of bovine insulin revealed molecularly smooth (001) layers separated by steps whose heights reflect the dimensions of a single insulin hexamer. Whereas contact mode imaging caused etching that prevented molecular-scale resolution, tapping mode imaging in solution provided mole

16. Visualization of RNA crystal growth by atomic force microscopy.
The crystallization of transfer RNA (tRNA) was investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM) over the temperature range from 4 to 16 degrees C, and this produced the first in situ AFM images of developing nucleic acid crystals. The growth of the (110) face of hexagonal yeast tRNAPhe crystals was observed to occur at steps on vicinal hillocks generated by

17. Molecular modulation of calcium oxalate crystallization by osteopontin and citrate
Calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM), which plays a functional role in plant physiology, is a source of chronic human disease, forming the major inorganic component of kidney stones. Understanding molecular mechanisms of biological control over COM crystallization is central to development of effective stone disease therapies and can help define general strateg

18. Atomic force microscopy of cloned nicotinic acetylcholine receptor expressed in Xenopus oocytes.
The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) was expressed in Xenopus oocytes from in vitro transcribed mRNA and was imaged by atomic force microscopy. A characteristic pentameric structure of AChR was readily observed on the extracellular face of the cell membrane, with a central pore surrounded by protruding AChR subunits. These structures were seen only in

19. On achieving better than 1-A accuracy in a simulation of a large protein: Streptomyces griseus protease A.
Computational methods are frequently used to simulate the properties of proteins. In these studies accuracy is clearly important, and the improvement of accuracy of protein simulation methodology is one of the major challenges in the application of theoretical methods, such as molecular dynamics, to structural studies of biological molecules. Much effort is

20. Simulations of reversible protein aggregate and crystal structure.
We simulated the structure of reversible protein aggregates as a function of protein surface characteristics, protein-protein interaction energies, and the entropic penalty accompanying the immobilization of protein in a solid phase. These simulations represent an extension of our previous work on kinetically irreversible protein aggregate structure and are
