Calorimetric study and modeling of molecular mobility in amorphous organic pharmaceutical compounds using a modified Adam-Gibbs approach

Article Abstract:

The thermal behavior of amorphous organic pharmaceutical compounds across their glass transition temperature is characterized and their molecular mobility is assessed as a function of temperature and time. The Adam-Gibbs method has disclosed the inextricable effect of thermal history on the molecular mobility of the amorphous materials and the ability of the glass to undergo fast changes in its molecular motions.

A theoretical model for the folding/unfolding thermodynamics of single-domain proteins, based on the quasi-Gaussian entropy theory

Article Abstract:

The framework of the quasi-Gaussian entropy (QGE) theory was used to formulate a general model for the description of the thermodynamic properties of the folding/unfolding of single-domain proteins. This theory provides models for homogeneous fluids, solids, and recently for the thermodynamics of flexible organic molecules in vacuo and solutes.

Growth dynamics of a liquid crystal at the three- to two-dimensional crossover in a Hele-Shaw cell

Article Abstract:

The radial growth of a cholesteric liquid crystal phase is analyzed in a thick Hele-Shaw cell. It is shown that the growth rate increases at the dimensional crossover, which is approximately constant, independent of the depth of the temperature quench.
