Direct evidence for ferromagnetic spin polarization in gold nanoparticles (2004)

Yamamoto, Y., Miura, T., Teranishi, T., Miyake, M., Hori, H., Suzuki, M., ...

We report the first direct observation of ferromagnetic spin polarization of Au nanoparticles with a mean diameter of 1.9 nm using X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). Owing to the element...

Charge pairing of headgroups in phosphatidylcholine membranes: A molecular dynamics simulation study.

Pasenkiewicz-Gierula, M, Takaoka, Y, Miyagawa, H, Kitamura, K, Kusumi, A

Molecular dynamics simulation of the hydrated dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) bilayer membrane in the liquid-crystalline phase was carried out for 5 ns to study the interaction among DMPC...

Molecular dynamics generation of nonarbitrary membrane models reveals lipid orientational correlations.

Takaoka, Y, Pasenkiewicz-Gierula, M, Miyagawa, H, Kitamura, K, Tamura, Y, Kusumi, A

This report addresses the following problems associated with the generation of computer models of phospholipid bilayer membranes using molecular dynamics simulations: arbitrary initial structures and...

Fast lipid disorientation at the onset of membrane fusion revealed by molecular dynamics simulations.

Ohta-Iino, S, Pasenkiewicz-Gierula, M, Takaoka, Y, Miyagawa, H, Kitamura, K, Kusumi, A

Membrane fusion is a key event in vesicular trafficking in every cell, and many fusion-related proteins have been identified. However, how the actual fusion event occurs has not been elucidated. By...
