The electronic structure of 1,4-DHP lipid molecule was investigated by ab initio quantum mechanics, the charges were derived, and the supramolecular structure formed by 1,4-DHP lipid molecules in water was investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulation, f99 force field, version AMBER 8.0. During the molecular dynamics simulations of 10 ns of MD 1,4-DHP lipid formed a worm-like micellae, which was preserved during the time course of 300 ns of MD simulations. Result was confirmed with the electron microscopy showing extended, rod-like structures as one of the 1,4-DHP lipid supramolecular structures, which are expected to be formed at high 1,4-DHP lipid concentrations.展开更多

In order to further study the problems of surface potential and microenvfronment, an effort should be made to clarify the pH controlled behavior of the structural change of azobenzene compounds in aqueous solution and on the surface of surfactant mlcella. Here, we examine the resonance Raman spectra of brilliant yellow(BY), an azobenzene derivative, in aqueous and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTAB) micella展开更多
