The Cohesive Forces in Explaining Material Phenomena | Chapter 7 | Chemical and Materials Sciences: Developments and Innovations Vol. 9

 

The study of cohesive forces, which fundamentally govern the interaction and integrity of materials, has led to an improved understanding of macroscopic and microscopic phenomena. This manuscript explores cohesive forces as a unifying principle in materials, focusing on their role in organic and inorganic systems. By studying carbon-based materials, it demonstrates how cohesive forces influence structural stability, conductivity and material behavior under diverse conditions. Key findings include the pivotal role of carbon in enhancing material properties and its transformative applications in energy storage systems, graphene-based technologies and protein stability. These insights drive innovations in nanotechnology, biotechnology and sustainable materials.

Carbodome: Linking Carbon Distribution to Protein Stability and Function | Chapter 5 | Recent Developments in Chemistry and Biochemistry Research Vol. 10

A novel metric Carbodome quantifies the carbon content of amino acid residues, offering insights into their hydrophobic or hydrophilic tendencies and their profound effects on protein stability and function. This study highlights key findings, demonstrating that amino acids with higher Carbodome values, such as tryptophan and phenylalanine, contribute to hydrophobic core stability, while lower Carbodome residues like arginine enhance solubility and surface interactions. The implications of carbon distribution extend to protein folding dynamics, structural integrity, and interactions, providing a foundation for advances in protein engineering, therapeutic design, and disease understanding. These findings underscore the pivotal role of carbon in shaping protein structure and functionality.
