Quartz crystal microbalance: a useful tool for studying thin polymer films and complex biomolecular systems at the solution-surface interface.

TL;DR: The quartz crystal microbalance technique is a simple, cost effective, high-resolution mass sensing technique, based upon the piezoelectric effect, which has witnessed an explosive growth in the application of the QCM technique to the study of a wide range of molecular systems at the solution-surface interface, in particular, biopolymer and biochemical systems.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

DNA visual and analytic data mining

TL;DR: The goal of the data mining was to see whether some other, possibly non-linear combination of the fundamental position-dependent DNA nucleotide frequency values could be a better predictor than the AMI (average mutual information).
Journal ArticleDOI

Statistical mechanical simulation of polymeric DNA melting with MELTSIM.

TL;DR: Good agreement is achieved between experimental and calculated melting curves of plasmid, bacterial, yeast and human DNAs, and curves of partially sequenced human DNA suggest the current database may be heavily biased with coding regions, and excluding large (A+T)-rich elements.
Journal ArticleDOI

The quartz crystal microbalance as a continuous monitoring tool for the study of endothelial cell surface attachment and growth.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the QCM technique can be used for the study of EC attachment and growth and suggest its potential for the real time study of per unit surface area cell mass distribution dynamics and viscoelastic properties and the cells' responses to stresses or perturbations brought about using biologically active molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Controlled free-radical polymerization of phenol derivatives by enzyme-catalyzed reactions in organic solvents

TL;DR: The ability to control the molecular weight and dispersity of poly(p-ethylphenol) was demonstrated in this article, where the polymer was synthesized enzymatically in different organic solvents and a water-in-oil microemulsion.
