Powers of 10 (10 x ) http://www.eamesoffice.com/powers_of_ten/powers_of_ten.html http://www.powersof10.com/ http://www.eamesoffice.com/powers_of_ten/powers_of_ten.html http://www.powersof10.com/ Earth = 12,760,000 meters wide (12.76 x 10 6 ), 12.76 million meters Plant Cell = 0.00001276 meters wide (12.76 x 10 -6 ) (12.76 millionths of a meter) (12,760 nanometers!) Nano scale is regarded as < 1,000 nanometers ~1/50 the diameter of a human hair (anything less than a micron (10 -6 m). Chemists typically think in views and images of < 1 nanometer.)

3. 1 nm = 10 Å An atom vs. a nucleus ~10,000 x larger ~ 0.1 nm Nucleus = 1/10,000 of the atom Anders Jöns Ångström (1814-1874) 1 Å = 10 picometers = 0.1 nanometers = 10 -4 microns = 10 -8 centimeters

6. http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/ PROTEIN DATA BANK What are PDB files? http://chemistry.Gsu.EDU/glactone/PDB/pdb.htmlhttp://chemistry.Gsu.EDU/glactone/PDB/pdb.html The PDB format (Protein Data Bank), from the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics) is a standard file format for the XYZ coordinates of atoms in a molecule. A few lines from a PDB file for a DNA base pair structure AUTHOR GENERATED BY GLACTONE SEQRES 1 A 1 G SEQRES 1 B 1 C ATOM 1 P G A 1 -6.620 6.196 2.089 ATOM 2 OXT G A 1-6.904 7.627 1.869 ATOM 3 O2P G A 1-7.438 5.244 1.299 ATOM 4 O5' G A 1 -5.074 5.900 1.839 ATOM 5 C5' G A 1-4.102 6.424 2.779 ATOM 6 C4' G A 1-2.830 6.792 2.049 ATOM 7 O4' G A 1 -2.044 5.576 1.839 ATOM 8 C3' G A 1-2.997 7.378 0.649 The last three columns are the XYZ coordinates of the atoms. PDB format can be applied to any molecule, very small to very large. It includess enormous on-line libraries of molecules.

Chem., Vol. 274, Issue 11, 6813-6816, 1999 The yellow dashed line is ~ 110-Å Protein sizes are most often referred to by their molecular masses (daltons; 1 amu = 1 dalton), not by their dimensions because of their globular nature.

Atomic force microscopy tests indicated that the surface had root mean square (rms) roughness of 10 nm. A) The water drop on the resulting surface had a contact angle of 104° ± 2 B) the water drop on a superhydrophobic i-PP coating surface has a contact angle of 160°.

C C H H Calculated image (Philippe Sautet)   orbital pzpz TIP H O + Imaging: acetylene on Pd(111) at 28 K Molecular Image Tip cruising altitude ~700 pm Δz = 20 pm Surface atomic profile Tip cruising altitude ~500 pm Δz = 2 pm 1 cm (± 1 μm) The STM image is a map of the pi-orbital of distorted acetylene Why don’t we see the Pd atoms? Because the tip needs to be very close to image the Pd atoms and would knock the molecule away If the tip was made as big as an airplane, it would be flying at 1 cm from the surface and waving up an down by 1 micrometer M.
