We present a coupled-oscillator toy model that describes the low-frequency lattice-like vibrations observed in Raman and inelastic neutron scattering spectra of β-sheet structures found in amyloid fibrils. In this model, the strands of the fibril β-sheet structures are treated as harmonically oscillating rods with…

Fluorescent dye-loaded polymeric nanoparticles have been extensively developed for cellular imaging as they are bright and versatile tools with large choice of polymers, dyes and surface chemistry. Here, we report preparation of fluorescent polymeric nanomaterials with high aspect ratio – nanorods, and study their…

Multivalent lectin-glycan interactions (MLGIs) are widespread and vital for biology, and also hold the key to many therapeutic applications. However, the underlying structural and biophysical mechanisms for many MLGIs remain poorly understood, limiting our ability to design glycoconjugates that can potently target…

Previous studies (Sparavigna, 2023) have demonstrated the Tsallis q-Gaussian functions suitable for the analysis of Raman spectra. Here we consider two asymmetric forms of them, with the aim of further improving the fitting of Raman spectra. The first asymmetric form, that we are here proposing for the first time, is a…
