On the possible role of magmatism in the atasu type strathiform mineralization (Central Kazakhstan)
Authors: Malchenko E. G , Roman A. T , Portnov V. S
Published: May 2022

Purpose. Studying the geological features of large industrial Atasu type ore objects. Methodology. Critical analysis of literature and stock materials, comparative analysis of geological factors characteristic of stratiform ores, stages and peculiarities of formation depending on the processes of volcanism, analysis of the results of isotope dating of rocks. Findings. Participation of volcanism (magmatism) processes in forming deposits of ferromanganese and barite-polymetallic ores of the Atasu type was minimal. It was expressed only in the development of a dissected pre-Famennian paleorelief favorable for the accumulation of metal-bearing silts and in the development of local hydraulic seals, which made it possible for the metal-bearing waters to circulate. Magmatic formations are protrusions of more ancient pre-Famennian Givetian-Franian volcanic structures. Originality. The pre-ore age of subvolcanic intrusions partially confirmed by the results of determining the absolute age, from the samples taken in the quarry of the Ushkatyn deposit that amounted to 373 4 million years, which corresponds to the middle of the Frasnian stage. The presence of three Atasu type ferromanganese deposits in the amagmatogenic Aidagarly graben-syncline also confirms this hypothesis. The genesis of deposits of the Atasu type is considered as sedimentary-hydrothermal one, associated with the processes of diagenesis and catagenesis. Practical value. Predicting the possibility of finding deposits of the Atasu type in graben-synclines throughout the entire area of the Devonian volcano-plutonic belt.
Geological and economic risk assessment for territories of hazardous geological and technogenic processes (exemplified by Solotvyno township)
Authors: Shekhunova S. B , Kril T. V
Published: May 2022

Purpose. Assessing the risks of economic and social losses caused by the activization of hazardous natural geological and technogenic processes to establish the hazards of living in post-mining areas, with a view to developing strategies for their amelioration. Methodology. Field observations were carried out to determine the state of the geological environment of the territory and individual engineering objects. The assessment of the territory stability was done relying on the mechanical and mathematical basics of engineering geology in conjunction with the approaches of system analysis and the theory of engineering and geological similarity. Methods of probability theory and mathematical statistics were used for the expert assessment and risk analysis. Cartographic materials were compiled using GIS and digital simulation methods implemented on the example of Solotvyno township. As the source material, the GIS database (geological, engineering-geological, hydrogeological, and so on), compiled at the Institute of Geological Sciences of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine for the territory of Solotvyno, was used alongside with the works assessing the occurrence of natural as well as man-induced processes. Findings. It has been established that the most dangerous geological and technogenic hazards on the territory examined are karst-suffusion processes, whose probability in the central part of the territory is 1. At the object level, the economic risk (4.35 10-3 thousand UAH/m2 year) has been estimated, which shows the need for protective engineering measures due to an individual risk (5.86 10-4 people/person year). This is a significant value as compared with the average one for the territory of Ukraine. Integrated and differentiated economic risks have been calculated for the territory of Solotvyno, with the distribution of risks visualized on schematic maps. Originality. The scheme for assessing the risk of hazardous geological and technogenic processes on the post-mining territory has been developed. The combined use of differentiated and integrated assessments of economic risks at the locality and object levels would optimize managerial decisions on protection against geological hazards and would permit the development of a high-quality system for settlement monitoring. Practical value. The implementation of the S&T results obtained will enhance the efficiency of the monitoring and engineering protection systems developed for the territories with the possible occurrence of major emergencies.

Considera-se Barra Grande, povoado localizado no município de Cajueiro da Praia-PI, Brasil, um dos principais destinos turísticos nacionais e internacionais para a prática de kitesurf na atualidade. Tendo isso em vista, o presente estudo objetiva mapear e analisar as produções científicas brasileiras sobre o kitesurf nessa localidade, a fim de compreender como pesquisadores/as brasileiros/as abordam esse esporte em seus estudos. Esta pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa, adotou como estratégia para fins exploratórios e descritivos a revisão de literatura bibliográfica, que se cumpriu na base de dados do Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Capes, em produções publicadas no período de 2000 a 2021. Os resultados apontaram para 105 trabalhos, entre teses e dissertações, sendo selecionadas oito dissertações para análise. Com o tratamento dos dados, constatou-se que os trabalhos são, em sua maioria (62.50%), produzidos em Programas de Pós-Graduação da Universidade Federal do Piauí (UFPI), com destaque para as áreas de Antropologia e Arqueologia. Turismo e desenvolvimento em Barra Grande são as principais temáticas discutidas, sendo a prática do kitesurf a principal indutora desses fenômenos nas últimas décadas. A produção científica ainda é escassa e carece de mais estudos. Ainda que se investigue o kitesurf de forma secundária nos trabalhos analisados, denota-se a sua importância para o reconhecimento do povoado como destino turístico nacional e internacional.
Os ciclos econômicos da borracha e a Zona Franca de Manaus: expansão urbana e degradação das microbacias
Authors: Silva José Roselito Carmelo da , Scudeller Veridiana Vizoni
Published: May 2022

Este estudo apresenta um apanhado histórico sobre o uso e a ocupação do sítio urbano de Manaus ocorrido no primeiro ciclo econômico da borracha entre 1870 e 1920, no segundo entre 1942 e 1945 e com a implantação da Zona Franca de Manaus que ocorreu a partir de 1967. Faz uma análise dos aspectos sociais relacionados principalmente à habitação e ao meio ambiente, com destaque a degradação das microbacias. Esses momentos econômicos alavancaram processos de mudanças na estrutura do espaço urbano ocasionado por movimento populacional campo-cidade, que culminou em um intenso êxodo rural. Utilizou-se da investigação qualitativa, uso de base cartográfica do Plano Diretor de Drenagem Urbana de Manaus de 2014, do Plano Diretor Urbano e Ambiental do Município de Manaus de 2014, dados secundários do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística e do Instituto Trata Brasil, 2019, além das referências, trabalho de campo nos cursos d’água, uso de GPS, registro fotográfico e trabalho de escritório. Dos ciclos econômicos da borracha apenas o primeiro impulsionou fluxos migratórios que elevaram o crescimento populacional em 158%, consequentemente aumentou os impactos socioambientais, mas não teve força de atração suficiente para permanecer expandindo o sítio urbano da capital após a queda do setor. Já, a Zona Franca se transformou em uma força motriz de prestação de serviços permanente, apoiada num intenso comércio de produtos na área central da capital e, ocasionou um fluxo migratório constante que desencadeou um crescimento desordenado do sítio urbano e aceleração da degradação das microbacias.

Authors: Gavioli Felipe Rosafa , Molin Paulo Guilherme , Valente Roberta Averna
Published: May 2022

A Mata Atlântica é um hotspot de biodiversidade, com uma de suas últimas grandes florestas localizada na Serra do Japi, em uma região urbanizada do estado de São Paulo. Para proteger esta floresta, em 1984 foi instituída a Área de Proteção Ambiental de Cajamar, Cabreúva e Jundiaí (APAs CCJ), regulamentada em 1998 e expandida em 2006. O estudo caracterizou a cobertura florestal das APAs CCJ, qualificando as manchas mediante aplicação de um Índice de Qualidade Florestal (IQF), composto pelas métricas de paisagem AREA, IC, ENN e PROXRIO. Utilizou-se de dados secundários processados em um Sistema de Informações Geográficas (SIG). A paisagem apresenta cobertura florestal de 35,25%, predominando manchas de até 10 hectares, que representam 85,46% dos fragmentos. A cobertura florestal está desigualmente distribuída, com as maiores manchas concentradas na região da Serra do Japi, e com cobertura florestal inferior a 30% nas áreas de mananciais. A distância média entre as manchas, e destas com a hidrografia é inferior a 60 metros, condicionando uma boa nota de IQF para 88,64% das florestas. Cenários de supressão dos pequenos fragmentos ampliam mais a distância média entre as manchas do que nos cenários de supressão de grandes fragmentos, indicando que as pequenas manchas são importantes na conectividade da paisagem. Conclui-se que a qualidade ambiental dos fragmentos florestais na paisagem é boa, e que a regulamentação das APAs CCJ deve incrementar a proteção das pequenas manchas florestais, além da restauração ecológica de áreas estratégicas, objetivando a conformação de corredores entre os fragmentos.

Authors: Dall'Igna Fernando , Maniesi Vanderlei
Published: May 2022

A Floresta Nacional (Flona) do Jamari tem apresentado frequentes queimadas como componente de ocupação, principalmente em sua zona de amortecimento, no contexto do corredor ecológico de áreas protegidas de Rondônia, que está sendo afetado pela atividade antrópica relacionada à expansão da fronteira agrícola do “Arco de Desmatamento” amazônico, associada à permissão da continuidade da atividade de lavra de cassiterita no interior da Flona, iniciada na década de 1960. Neste contexto, este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a distribuição de focos de calor na Flona do Jamari e sua zona de amortecimento. Para atingir o objetivo proposto, foi realizada a análise da distribuição espacial e temporal de focos de calor com a utilização do banco de dados de queimadas do INPE, mostrando um número elevado de focos de calor principalmente na zona de amortecimento na Flona, pelo uso indiscriminado de queimadas nos 18 anos de análise (2000 a 2017). A Diminuição das variações anuais desses focos ocorreu com a publicação de legislações ambientais, com 143 incidências (95,3%) na Flona Jamari, nos primeiros 8 anos de análise (2000 a 2007), e 7 (4,6%) nos 10 anos seguintes de análise (2008 a 2017). Na zona de amortecimento foram 2324 incidências (52,5%) nos primeiros 6 anos de análise (2000 a 2005), e 2104 incidências (47,5%) nos 12 anos seguintes (2006 a 2017). Os resultados evidenciam que as ocorrências de queimadas como componente de ocupação encontram-se relacionadas à intensa pressão antrópica com a influência de legislações ambientais e interferências de atividades de mineração de cassiterita.

Desde os primórdios as mulheres sempre foram protagonistas do próprio parto, sendo auxiliadas por parteiras, mulheres da família e religiosas. Porém com o passar do tempo e os avanços tecnológicos, as mulheres passaram a ser dependentes de meios externos para a realização de um processo que antes era natural. Com isto a mulher passou a ter medos e dúvidas sobre a maternidade. Ao observar as gestantes na sala de espera, as mesmas apresentarem dúvidas e ansiedades relacionadas à gestação e ao parto, dúvidas estas nem sempre esclarecidas devido ao grande número de atendimento e tempo de consultas reduzidas para o suprimento da demanda. Neste momento é possível perceber a importância da prática educativa para suprir a necessidade de conhecimento a ser ofertada a estas gestantes que pode ser realizada por todos os profissionais de saúde da unidade, afim requalificar a assistência prestada ao grupo de gestantes. Este trabalho tem como objetivo melhorar a qualidade da atenção ao pré-natal e puerpério e promover a saúde das gestantes e das puérperas. O público-alvo serão todas as gestantes na unidade de atenção básica, por perceber a importância de esclarecer dúvidas sobre as diferentes fases envolvendo gestação, parto e puerpério. E como resultados esperamos promover a saúde das gestantes e das puérperas através de orientações sobre os benefícios do parto natural, alimentação saudável, cuidados com o recém-nascido, importância do aleitamento materno, anticoncepção após o parto, aumentar o vínculo entre gestante, família e profissionais da unidade de saúde e realizar avaliação de risco gestacional.

From Form to In-formation: A Spinozan Link between Deleuzian and Simondonian Ontologies
Authors: Sylvia IV J. J.
Published: May 2022

In developing the concept of assemblages, Gilles Deleuze draws at least some inspiration from Gilbert Simondon’s concept of information. While his acknowledgement of Simondon’s influence is almost entirely positive, Deleuze explicitly distances himself from the concept of information in order to avoid its link to the field of cybernetics. However, a Deleuzian informational ontology could instead be leveraged as an alternative to cybernetics. Drawing on the Spinozan link between the work of Deleuze and Simondon, it is possible to develop a hybrid informational ontology. This system can not only offer a different approach to information, data and technology than the essentialist concept of information embraced by cybernetics, but also aligns well with recent research in the biological sciences that has disrupted a long-held concept of individuals as entirely separate and autonomous. Shifting away from the Platonic Form to a Deleuzian/Simondonian in-formation furthers the post-human project aimed at understanding processes of subjectivation at multiple scales, including the micro (biome) and macro (city, population, planet).

Published: May 2022

In this study Cestodes collected from a species of rodents of the genera Rattus rattus (Linnaeus, 1758) from Aurangabad district Maharashtra, India are reported. Sixty three specimens of the cestode parasites were collected from 23 infected intestines after examining 110 host house rat (Rattus rattus) at Aurangabad, (MS), India during the period of April, 2005-March, 2007. The present form of cestode parasite is redescribed on the basis of some similar characters with the previously described species Hymenolepis diminuta (Rudolphi, 1819). The characters of present form are similar with Hymenolepis diminuta having the scolex well-marked rostellum, hooks in single crown on rostellum, oval cirrus pouch, three testes, one poral and two aporal, two pairs longitudinal excretory canal and pre-ovarian ootype but differs due to globular scolex, squarish mature proglottids and differs in size of ovary (0.526 - 0.552 x 0.114 - 0.184 mm).
Population, Distribution, Sub-species, Feeding and Breeding Biology of Black Kite: A Review
Authors: Nadim Chishty , Vijay Shankar Pandey , Narayan Lal3 Choudhary
Published: May 2022

The black kite is a medium-sized raptor and widely distributed on all continents except Nearctic and Neo-tropic zone. It plays a crucial role in the ecosystem and maintains prey populations, especially for rodents. They preferred a wide variety of habitats, including open areas, grasslands, scattered vegetation, agricultural land and also adapted towards cities and towns. Black kite diets are extremely diverse; they typically consume grasshoppers, birds, rodents, bats and dead animal carcasses. A diet of black kite varies geographically and depends on the availability and abundance of prey population. The breeding season for black kites begins in March and lasts until April and also vary and depending on the subspecies. Black kites usually construct nest upon large trees, mobile tower and electric pylons. They generally utilise plant matter as nesting material, but sometime they also utilise clothes, paper and plastic. Population of black kite is declining due to poisoning by pesticides, lack of roosting and nesting sites, lack of prey availability and electrocutions. Environmental conditions such as extreme temperature, wind velocity and rainfall influence the daily activity and breeding biology of black kites. Habitat fragmentation, anthropogenic interference, deforestation, pesticide pollution and electrocutions cause negative impacts on raptor survival, including the black kite.

Published: May 2022

The use of chemical pesticides to control mosquitoes generates a variety of problems, particularly developing resistance. This leads to the discovery of new techniques based on green production of silver nanoparticles. In this study we synthesized silver nanoparticles by using leaf extracts of Aegle marmelos and Colocasia esculenta and evaluated their larvicidal efficacy against Aedes aegypti II, III, IV instars and pupa. The green synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by various spectroscopy techniques, such as UV, FTIR, XRD and SEM. Thus, the data indicated that the plant extract and its nanoparticles may be a preferable alternative to chemical insecticides.

Published: May 2022

: Plant extracts/powders have potential to employ as promising and encouraged alternatives to synthetic insecticides in controlling stored grain pest. During present study, trials were carried out with five plants leaves powders [Grewia optiva leaf powder (GOLP), Morus alba leaf powder (MALP), Murraya koenigii leaf powder (MKLP), Ficus carica leaf powder (FCLP) and Ricinus communis leaf powder (RCLP)]. Highest insecticidal efficacy against oviposition and emergence of Callosobruchus maculatus were recorded after treatment with Ricinus communis leaf powder (RCLP). RCLP also offered maximum protection of black gram seeds applied at the dose of 20 g/kg seeds of black gram. Within seven days pest mortality percentile was maximum (86.67 %) as compared to other leaf powders. Whereas in untreated control, zero mortality was recorded. The lowest fecundity (186.6±3.91), pest emergence (95.4±2.89), seed damage (18.00%), and weight loss (5.28%) were noted with RCLP at the dose of 10.0 g/kg. In ovicidal treatment, RCLP inhibited the entire tested population emergence at 10 and 20 g/kg black gram seeds. The complete inhibition was also observed in 1st and 2nd instar larvae. Treatment of 3rd and 4th instar larvae with RCLP showed inhibition.

Authors: Praveen Prabha , Cincy Thomas , Joseph Tom , P. Zecharia Alex , S. Sreejith
Published: May 2022

The present study deals with the species diversity of fishes in Manimala River with reference to Eraviperoor region, Pathanamthitta, Kerala, India. The Manimala River forms the northern and north-western boundary and Varattar (a branch of river Pamba) forms the southern boundary of the study area. The wetlands (mainly paddy fields) consist of 18 small to medium-sized water bodies functioning as a water source for agriculture. A chain of canals connects many of them in the lower areas while the remaining ones get interconnected during monsoon floods during which the movement of fishes from rivers to other water bodies takes place. These small water bodies are extremely significant for the preservation and sustenance of the biodiversity of fishes. 24 species belonging to 12 families and 5 orders were collected and identified. This includes10 species from the family Cyprinidae, 3 species from the family Channidae, 2 species from family Cichlidae, and 1 species each from families Hemiramphidae, Belonidae, Anabantidae, Osphronemidae, Heteropneustidae, Claridae, Siluridae, Tetraodontidae, and Ambassidae.

Biomarker or physical indices act as indicator of stress that is somehow affecting the organism ability to grow, reproduce, survive and adapt in a given environment. The present investigation was designed to study the effect of sublethal concentrations (10% 20% and 30%) of distillery effluent on the health indices like condition factor, hepatosomatic and gonadosomatic index of Mystus vittatus after exposure to 30 days. The result of present investigation showed that all the four parameters (CF, HSI, GSI and oxygen consumption rate) decreased significantly (P
Post-meiotic Splitting of Spermatid Nucleus and Beaded Tail Formation During Spermiogenesis to Eliminate DNA in Two Grasshoppers With B Chromosomes
Authors: H. Channaveerappa
Published: May 2022

: The end product of meiosis in male grasshoppers is round spermatids and these will not undergo post meiotic division, under normal conditions. In two species of grasshoppers carrying B chromosomes, the postmeiotic division of the nucleus of spermatids was observed. The number of nuclear bits formed ranged between 1-4 in the elongating head region of developing spermatids during spermiogenesis. The nuclear bits were also pushed in to the tail region resulted in a beaded appearance to the tail of sperm, with five to ten number of nuclear bits in the tail region. Addition to this small, round micro-spermatids formed from the eliminated nuclear bits, remained the same without showing further development. The range of nuclear bits generated outnumbered the B chromosomes encountered in the two species of grasshoppers. The grasshopper Neorthocris acuticeps acuticeps had one small B and the other Chrotogonus trachypterus had two kinds of Bs- large and small. This unusual process of post-meiotic division of the spermatid nucleus and beaded tail formation in sperms is discussed in the light of DNA elimination during gametogenesis in males of grasshoppers.
Electrophoretic Studies in Indian Calliphorids
Authors: Sarita Agrawal , Neelam Bajpai
Published: May 2022

The predominantly occurring Calliphoridae include many species of veterinary, forensic and medical importance. Although diagnostic morphological characters are present for taxonomic identification of all described species of Calliphoridae but these morphological characters are complicated because there exists great similarity among these flies. The purpose of accurate identification in larval stages or in incomplete specimens of flies is not possible on the basis of morphological characters only. Therefore, different molecular markers have been applied to resolve the discrepancies regarding identification which include allozyme, RAPD-PCR, PCR-RFLP, sequencing of mitochondrial and nuclear regions etc. These methods can be applied to identify an unknown species also. In this review, an attempt has been made to summarize different molecular work performed on Indian Calliphorids.

The nutritional indices of agro based millet feed conversion was determined based on improved nutrient content with commercial probiotic raised in the semi-intensive method which was formulated by four isonitrogenic diets and given as a trail feed to Indian major carp, Labeo rohita. The fish were fed on groundnut oil cake, pearl millet, finger millet as base feed and a combination of pearl, finger and foxtail millet. The experimental period was 90 days. Nutritional and protein values indices values have improved and proved to be remarkable in the experimental fish and suggesting that this feed may be a better alternative feed for fish reared during aquaculture practices.
“One Does Not Simply Read the Terms and Conditions:” Creative Resistance Against Surveillance and the Fight Against Inevitability
Authors: Schuster Eliana
Published: May 2022

Creative resistance has emerged as an effort to shatter the widespread inevitability that has been fostered by digital surveillance systems. This resistance, pursued through artwork, contributes to the broader field of resisting surveillance, both shaping and being shaped by its strategies and goals. This paper will identify and analyze three artworks that have located themselves within this work of creative resistance against surveillance. Engaging in a textual analysis of each of these artworks and their formal construction, this paper will aim to extract strategies from the three works. On a strategy-by-strategy level and as a collection of strategies within each work, the paper’s textual analysis will focus on the strategies’ effectiveness at achieving the artwork’s stated or implied goals, especially as they relate to inevitability-shattering and encouraging participants toward furthering the work of resistance beyond the installation space. The resulting list of strategies will be positioned as a tool kit, offering future artists and activists ideas for how they might approach the work of participatory creative resistance.
Artist or Small Business Owner? Asian-American Content Creators on TikTok during the Early COVID-19 Pandemic and the #StopAsianHate Movement
Authors: Capuno Skyllar
Published: May 2022

This paper examines how the concept of “the ethnicized hustle” shapes the content created by Asian American artists/small business owners on Tiktok. (Idriss, 2021) By investigating how Asian American artists/small business owners market their work and participate in hustle culture on Tiktok, we will find the intersection and collapse of the artist and business owner identities in their effort not only to sell art to support themselves and convey their identities, but also to support and uplift their ethnic community. They respond to everyday and platformed racism by creating and selling art, and subsequently donate the proceeds to organizations that support Asian Americans who have been affected by anti-Asian hate. (Southwick et al. 2021) We will also observe the type of TikToks and art produced by Asian American owned sticker shops and methods used to sell their art during the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes and the #StopAsianHate Movement. I investigate how their TikTok marketing and content is influenced by the burden of representation and resulting emotional labor and shame, which stems from their need to sell their art to survive, but also their need to be supportive of their communities and be inclusive of others. We will negotiate if the tactics used to boost engagement and bring attention to the #StopAsianHate Movement are an effective mode of political engagement and social justice by investigating audience response in the comment sections under their videos. By doing a content analysis of sounds, hashtags, comment sections, and trends within the small business/art/Asian American communities respectively, this paper will determine whether this work/content creation is performative and/or aspirational, and whether or not it is an effective method to bring about social change.

Published: May 2022

Although great progress has been made in improving the efficacy of cancer treatment through combination treatment using drug agents, there are still challenges in improving the efficiency of drug delivery. In this study, olaparib and doxorubicin were co-loaded on disulfide bond cross-linked polypeptide nanogels for the treatment of breast cancer in mouse models. Under stimulation of a high glutathione environment in cancer cells, the drug is quickly released from the nanogel to target cancer cells. In addition, compared with free drugs and single-drug-loaded nanogels, dual-drug- co-loaded nanogels exhibit the best anti-cancer effect and demonstrated excellent biological safety. Therefore, the co-delivery of olaparib and doxorubicin through polypeptide nanogels presents good prospects for application as anti-cancer treatment.
Force From Filaments: The Role of the Cytoskeleton and Extracellular Matrix in the Gating of Mechanosensitive Channels

Published: May 2022

The senses of proprioception, touch, hearing, and blood pressure on mechanosensitive ion channels that transduce mechanical stimuli with high sensitivity and speed. This conversion process is usually called mechanotransduction. From nematode MEC-4/10 to mammalian PIEZO1/2, mechanosensitive ion channels have evolved into several protein families that use variant gating models to convert different forms of mechanical force into electrical signals. In addition to the model of channel gating by stretching from lipid bilayers, another potent model is the opening of channels by force tethering: a membrane-bound channel is elastically tethered directly or indirectly between the cytoskeleton and the extracellular molecules, and the tethering molecules convey force to change the channel structure into an activation form. In general, the mechanical stimulation forces the extracellular structure to move relative to the cytoskeleton, deforming the most compliant component in the system that serves as a gating spring. Here we review recent studies focusing on the ion channel mechanically activated by a tethering force, the mechanotransduction-involved cytoskeletal protein, and the extracellular matrix. The mechanosensitive channel PIEZO2, DEG/ENaC family proteins such as acid-sensing ion channels, and transient receptor potential family members such as NompC are discussed. State-of-the-art techniques, such as polydimethylsiloxane indentation, the pillar array, and micropipette-guided ultrasound stimulation, which are beneficial tools for exploring the tether model, are also discussed.
Diameter Dependent Melting and Softening of dsDNA Under Cylindrical Confinement

Published: May 2022

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are considered promising candidates for biomolecular confinement, including DNA encapsulation for gene delivery. Threshold values of diameters have been reported for double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) encapsulation inside CNTs. We have performed all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of dsDNAs confined inside single-walled CNTs (SWCNTs) at the physiologically relevant temperature of 300 K. We found that the dsDNA can be confined without being denatured only when the diameter of the SWCNT exceeds a threshold value. Below this threshold diameter, the dsDNA gets denatured and melts even at the temperature of 300 K. Our simulations using SWCNTs with chirality indices (20,20) to (30,30) at 300 K found the critical diameter to be 3.25 nm (corresponding to (24,24) chirality). Analyses of the hydrogen bonds (H-bonds), Van der Walls (VdW) energy, and other inter-base interactions show drastic reduction in the number of H-bonds, VdW energy, and electrostatic energies between the bases of dsDNA when it is confined in narrower SWCNTs (up to diameter of 3.12 nm). On the other hand, the higher interaction energy between the dsDNA and the SWCNT surface in narrower SWCNTs assists in the melting of the dsDNA. Electrostatic mapping and hydration status analyses show that the dsDNA is not adequately hydrated and the counter ion distribution is not uniform below the critical diameter of the SWCNT. As properly hydrated counter ions provide stability to the dsDNA, we infer that the inappropriate hydration of counter ions and their non-uniform distribution around the dsDNA cause the melting of the dsDNA inside SWCNTs of diameter below the critical value of 3.25 nm. For confined dsDNAs that do not get denatured, we computed their elastic properties. The persistence length of dsDNA was found to increase by a factor of about two and the torsional stiffness by a factor of 1.5 for confinement inside SWCNTs of diameters up to 3.79 nm, the stretch modulus also following nearly the same trend. Interestingly, for higher diameters of SWCNT, 3.79 nm and above, the dsDNA becomes more flexible, demonstrating that the mechanical properties of the dsDNA under cylindrical confinement depend non-monotonically on the confinement diameter.
