The molecular origins of the common ion effect and the salting out of nonpolar molecules from aqueous solutions are investigated. Thermodynamic stability criteria for a common ion mixture in a polar solvent are derived. Kirkwood–Buff statistical thermodynamics is used to make the connection with the...
Recently, a number of studies on the self-assembly of complexes of block copolymers/low-molecular mass compounds (LMC, including surfactants and other molecules with a polar head and a nonpolar tail) were reported. Since the relative amount of LMC and the binding are adjustable, Ikkala et al....
The colors indicate polar (green), nonpolar/hydrophobic (yellow), acidic (red), and basic (blue) residues. The RSL is underlined and numbered from P15 to P3′. The putative scissile bond is marked by a dot. The positions of the nonconservative amino acid variants relative to the cDNAs ...
