Certain peptides self-assemble fibers that exhibit long-range charge transport. Thermal fluctuations have been implicated as important in this emergent property.1 We adapted our interpretable machine learning (ML) platform2 to understand how thermal fluctuations...
Natural conductive wires from bacteria are one-dimensional chains of cytochromes – heme containing proteins. To mimic their structure and make synthetic conductive wires, we design heme binding peptide bundles to use as building blocks of self-assembling wires:...
•We introduce a neural network kinetics (NNK) scheme that predicts and simulates diffusion-induced chemical and structural evolution in complex concentrated chemical environments. •The framework is grounded on efficient on-lattice structure and chemistry...
Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flow, an electrokinetic phenomenon resulting from an applied oscillatory potential in solution, drives lateral assembly of plasmonic nanoparticles (NP) in response to an electric field gradient on an electrode-liquid interface. •Results...
This paper reports: •Kinetically trapped self-assembly of a compartmentalized network of liquid droplets from small-molecule precursors •Liquid-liquid phase separation accompanied by silanol hydrolysis, condensation, and zwitterionic self-association •Hierarchical...
