We study a simplified model of monoclonal antibodies confined in a patchy random porous medium. Antibodies are represented as Y-shaped particles composed of seven tangential hard spheres with attractive patches on the terminal beads, while…
In this work we examine thermodynamics of fluid with "molecules" represented by two fused hard spheres, decorated by the attractive square-well sites. Interactions between these sites are of short-range and cause association between the…
This study is concerned with behaviour of fluid of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) when trapped in a confinement represented by rigid spherical obstacles that attract proteins. The antibody molecule is depicted as an assembly of seven hard…
We examine the structural and dynamic properties of confined binary hard-sphere mixtures designed to mimic realizable colloidal thin films. Using computer simulations, governed by either Newtonian or overdamped Langevin dynamics, together…
