Proteins are folded to avoid exposure of the nonpolar groups to water because water‐
mediated interactions between nonpolar groups are a promising factor in the …

Polymeric micelles are invaluable media as drug nanocarriers. Although knowledge of an
interaction between the micelles is a key to understanding the mechanisms and developing …

Poloxamer 407 (P407) is used as a safety-guaranteed, invaluable pharmaceutical
nanocarrier. The aqueous solution of P407 exhibits sol-to-gel and gel-to-sol transitions …

Biological sensing technology utilizing nanoparticles extends through a diverse range of
fields. The nanosensing is controlled using the assembly/disassembly of nanoparticles …

Small-angle X-ray and neutron scatterings can measure the structure factor of dispersed
particles (macromolecules or colloidal particles), which can estimate the pair distribution …

The packing of proteins and their collective behavior in crowded media is crucial for the
understanding of biological processes. Here we study the structural and dynamical evolution …

In this study, a variational method for the inverse problem of self-assembly, ie, a
reconstruction of the interparticle interaction potential of a given structure, is applied to three …

A novel Raman scattering enhancement was discovered using colloid nanoparticles
conjugated with an amine-based copolymer. The interaction potential surface between …
