A complex interplay of energetics and dynamics governs the behavior of nanocrystals in solution. These dynamics are usually interpreted in terms of the theory developed by Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey, ...

Proteins are made of amino acid chains, or polypeptides. Amino acids have a basic backbone made of an amino group and a carboxyl group, and differ in their side-chains. These polypeptide chains of ...

Intermolecular bonds are found between molecules. They are also known as Van der Waals forces, and there are several types to consider. London dispersion forces are the weakest type of intermolecular ...
