Prefoldin is a molecular chaperone with a jellyfish-like structure containing six long coiled-coil tentacles and a large central cavity. We took the temperature and p H of the medium into account,and analyzed the conformational flexibility of the Prefoldin nano actuator in details. Results show that the prefoldin is a very flexible protein, the conformational state of which appears to depend on the temperature and p H values of the medium. In fact, combining these two control parameters, a suitable environment is provided to capture nano cargoes with specific dimensions. These properties of Prefoldin actuator can be used for drug delivery in the body.展开更多

Accordingly, the operation times of such gates while functioning in algorithm applications depend on the number of photons present in their resonant cavities. Multi-qubit algorithms can be realized in systems in which the photon number is increased slightly over the qubit number. In addition, the time required for operation is considerably less than the dephasing and relaxation times of the systems. The contextual use of the photon number as a main control in the realization of any algorithm was demonstrated. The results indicate the possibility of a full integration into the realization of multi-qubit multiphoton states and its application in algorithm designs. Yhrthermore, this approach will lead to a successful implementation of these designs in future experiments.展开更多
