Describing the hydrodynamics of nanoparticles in fluid media poses interesting challenges due to the coupling between the Brownian and hydrodynamic forces at the nanoscale. We focus on multiscale formulations of Brownian motion and hydrodynamic interactions (HI) of a single flexible polymeric nanoparticle in confining flows using the Brownian Dynamics method. The nanoparticle is modeled as a self-avoiding freely jointed polymer chain that is subject to Brownian forces, hydrodynamics forces, and repulsive interactions with the confining wall. To accommodate the effect of the wall, the hydrodynamic lift due to the wall is included in the mobility of a bead of the polymer chain which depends on its proximity to the wall. Using the example of a flexible polymeric nanoparticle, we illustrate temporal dynamics pertaining to the colloidal scale as well as the nanoscale.

This is a comprehensive study of the effects of the four major brain gangliosides (GM1, GD1b, GD1a, and GT1b) on the adsorption and rupture of phospholipid vesicles on SiO2 surfaces for the formation of supported lipid bilayer (SLB) membranes. Using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) we show that gangliosides GD1a and GT1b significantly slow the SLB formation process, whereas GM1 and GD1b have smaller effects. This is likely due to the net ganglioside charge as well as the positions of acidic sugar groups on ganglioside glycan head groups. Data is included that shows calcium can accelerate the formation of ganglioside-rich SLBs. Using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) we also show that the presence of gangliosides significantly reduces lipid diffusion coefficients in SLBs in a concentration-dependent manner. Finally, using QCM-D and GD1a-rich SLB membranes we measure the binding kinetics of an anti-GD1a antibody that has similarities to a monoclonal antibody that is a hallmark of a variant of Guillain-Barre syndrome.
