<div>Methylguanidinium is an important molecular ion which also serves as the model compound for arginine side chain. We studied the structure and dynamics of methylguanidium ion at the air/water interface by molecular dynamics simulations employing the Drude polarizable force field. We found out that methylguanidinium accumulate on the interface with a majority adopting tilted conformations. We also demonstrated that methylguanidinium and guanidinium ions have different preference towards the air/water interface. Our results illustrate the importance to explicitly include the electronic polarization effects in modeling interfacial properties.</div><div><br> </div>

Ubiquinone 10

Surface-active properties of ubiquinones and ubiquinols have been investigated by monomolecular-film techniques. Stable monolayers are formed at an air/water interface by the fully oxidized and reduced forms of the coenzyme; collapse pressures and hence stability of the films tend to increase with decreasing length of the isoprenoid side chain and films of the reduced coenzymes are more stable than those of their oxidized counterparts. Ubiquinone with a side chain of two isoprenoid units does not form stable monolayers at the air/water interface. Mixed monolayers of ubiquinol-10 or ubiquinone-10 with 1,2-dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine, soya phosphatidylcholine and diphosphatidylglycerol do not exhibit ideal mixing characteristics. At surface pressures less than the collapse pressure of pure ubiquinone-10 monolayers (approx. 12mN·m−1) the isoprenoid chain is located substantially within the region occupied by the fatty acyl residues of the phospholipids. With increasing surface pressure the ubiquinones and their fully reduced equivalents are progressively squeezed out from between the phospholipid molecules until, at a pressure of about 35mN·m−1, the film has surface properties consistent with that of the pure phospholipid monolayer. This suggests that the ubiquinone(ol) forms a separate phase overlying the phospholipid monolayer. The implications of this energetically poised situation, where the quinone(ol) is just able to penetrate the phospholipid film, are considered in terms of the function of ubiquinone(ol) as electron and proton carriers of energy-transducing membranes.

A series of novel copolymers [p (AOBHA-co-NPMA)] containing 2-Allyloxy-N-benzylidene hexadecylamine (AOBHA) as film formation material and β-naphtayl methacrylate (NPMA) as photosensitive group were synthesized by free-radical polymerization. The copolymers could form stable condensed monolayer at air/water interface and be transformed onto solid substrates. Positive-tone patterns with the resolution of 0.75 μm of the copolymers Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films with 35 layers were fabricated by deep UV irradiation, followed by developing with acetone. The etched gold patterns with resolution of 0.75 μm were also obtained, showing that the copolymer has enough resistance to wet etching suitable for fabricating photomask. The mechanism of photolysis was also investigated by UV and GPC, in which showed that the scission of main and side chain of p (AOBHA-co-NPMA) LB films occurred at the same time.
