Structures in colloidal physical chemistry.

The vast range of technological and industrial application of colloidal systems is largely a direct result of their diversity of structure on microscopic and mesoscopic scales. Recent progress in understanding these structures allows for greater control of the macroscopic properties, as well as providing new avenues of fundamental research in physics, chemistry and materials science.

Light-scattering studies of the monomer-dimer states of gramicidin A.

Measurements of the intensity and autocorrelation function of ligh quasielastically scattered by gramicidin A indicate that the molecules exist as dimers in methanol and dioxane and monomers in dimethyl sulfoxide when solute concentrations range from 18 to 50 mg/ml. This gives further evidence that gramicidin A can dimerize in low-polarity media such as the hydrocarbon part of the membrane bilayers.
