The status of our understanding of nucleation is reviewed. Both general aspects of
nucleation and those specific to protein solutions and colloidal suspensions are considered …

Self-assembly is a ubiquitous process in synthetic and biological systems, broadly defined
as the spontaneous organization of multiple subunits (macromolecules, particles, etc.) into …

Roughly at the time (1987) when the manuscript for the first three chapters of the present
book was completed, several breakthroughs occurred. They had a profound influence on the …

Glycoside hydrolases (GHs) cleave glycosidic linkages in carbohydrates, typically via
inverting or retaining mechanisms, the latter of which proceeds via a two-step mechanism …

We study the kinetics of crystal nucleation of an undercooled Lennard-Jones liquid using
various path-sampling methods. We obtain the rate constant and elucidate the pathways for …

Nucleation is an activated process in which the system has to overcome a free energy
barrier in order for a first-order phase transition between the metastable and the stable …

The series Advances in Polymer Science presents critical reviews of the present and future
trends in polymer and biopolymer science including chemistry, physical chemistry, physics …

With a wide range of applications, from energy and environmental engineering, such as in
gas separations and water purification, to biomedical engineering and packaging, glassy …

Computer simulations of molecular processes such as nucleation in first-order phase
transitions or the folding of a protein are often complicated by widely disparate time scales …

When a fluid at a constant density ρ in between the densities of coexisting vapor (ρ v) and
liquid (ρ ℓ) at temperatures below criticality is studied in a (cubic) box of finite linear …
