Bipolar diffusion charging of aerosol particles has been studied theoretically using Fuchs theory. Experimental data measured by several researchers available in the published literature were used to verify the calculation results. The calculation results show that Fuchs theory has been successfully used to predict the experimental data of the charging probability of submicron aerosol particles. The combination probability of ion-particle increases with the increase of particle size, both for particle and ion with the same sign and those with the opposite sign. However the combination probability is larger if the charges of particle and ion are of the opposite sign. Generally, Fuchs theory is not too easy to deal with due to the ill-defined of all parameters used, namely ion mass and ion mobility. These cause many possibilities of parameter combination that can give a good agreement with experimental data. Thus, in order to interpret the experimental results properly, the two parameters should be measured simultaneously with aerosol measurements.Keywords: Aerosol, Bipolar Charging, Combination ProbabilityAbstrakPemuatan listrik difusi bipolar partikel aerosol telah dipelajari secara teoritis menggunakan teori Fuchs. Sebagai verifikasi digunakan data eksperimen beberapa peneliti yang tersedia dalam literatur yang telah dipublikasikan. Hasil perhitungan menunjukkan bahwa teori Fuchs berhasil memprediksi dengan baik data eksperimen probabilitas pemuatan listrik partikel aerosol dalam rentang ukuran partikel berukuran submikron. Probabilitas penggabungan ion-partikel semakin besar dengan semakin besarnya ukuran partikel, baik untuk partikel dan ion yang memiliki tanda yang berlawanan maupun yang memiliki tanda yang sama. Akan tetapi, probabilitas penggabungan untuk partikel dan ion yang memiliki tanda yang berlawanan memiliki nilai yang lebih besar. Pada umumnya teori Fuchs tidak terlalu mudah untuk digunakan yang disebabkan oleh tidak terdefinisikannya dengan baik semua parameter yang digunakan, yaitu  massa ion dan mobilitas ion. Hal ini mengakibatkan banyak kemungkinan kombinasi parameter yang bisa menghasilkan kesesuaian yang bagus dengan data hasil pengukuran. Jadi, agar dapat menginterpretasikan hasil pengukuran dengan tepat, kedua besaran tersebut harus diukur secara serempak denganpengukuran aerosol.Kata Kunci: Aerosol, Pemuatan Listrik Bipolar, Probabilitas Penggabungan

Mechanoenzymes are enzymes which use a chemical reaction to power directed movement along biological polymer. Such enzymes include the cytoskeletal motors (e.g., myosins, dyneins, and kinesins) as well as nucleic acid polymerases and helicases. A single catalytic turnover of a mechanoenzyme moves the enzyme molecule along the polymer a distance on the order of 10−9 m We have developed light microscope and digital image processing methods to detect and measure nanometer-scale motions driven by single mechanoenzyme molecules. These techniques enable one to monitor the occurrence of single reaction steps and to measure the lifetimes of reaction intermediates in individual enzyme molecules. This information can be used to elucidate reaction mechanisms and determine microscopic rate constants. Such an approach circumvents difficulties encountered in the use of traditional transient-state kinetics techniques to examine mechanoenzyme reaction mechanisms.
