Advanced interpretation of CO2 adsorption thermodynamics onto porous solids by statistical physics formalism

Sarra Wjihi et al.

Summary: The study investigates the CO2 adsorption from simulated flue-gas using three different activated carbons. It shows that micropore volume affects the adsorption capacity, while chemical properties play a secondary role. Advanced models derived from statistical physics are used to interpret the adsorption isotherms and provide insights into the adsorption mechanisms.

Interpretations of key food odorant dose-olfactory response curves using statistical physics method

Ismahene Ben Khemis et al.

Summary: This study employs statistical physics to investigate the adsorption of key food odorants onto the human olfactory receptor OR2W1, aiming to gain new insights into the olfaction mechanism. Three models are proposed, with the monolayer model showing good correlation with experimental dose-response curves. Numerical values of fitted parameters are used to characterize receptor binding sites size and interactions between odorants and OR2W1.

Steric and energetic characterizations of mouse and human musk receptors activated by nitro musk smelling compounds at molecular level: Statistical physics treatment and molecular docking analysis

Ismahene Ben Khemis et al.

Summary: This study investigates the activation of mouse and human olfactory receptors in response to two nitro musk stimuli, musk xylol and musk ketone, shedding light on specific aspects of the olfaction process. By using statistical physics modeling and docking computations, the interaction between the nitro musk molecules and olfactory receptors is characterized, providing insights into the olfactory mechanism. The results demonstrate similarities in receptor-ligand detection processes and confirm the calculated binding affinities in terms of adsorption energies.

Statistical physics modeling and interpretation of the adsorption of enantiomeric terpenes onto the human olfactory receptor OR1A1

Ismahene Ben Khemis et al.

Summary: The research team has extensively studied liquid and gaseous adsorption systems using the statistical physics approach, providing new insights into the adsorption processes related to olfaction and taste. By applying statistical physics treatment to four enantiomeric terpenes, they determined that adsorption is a monolayer monosite process and characterized the energetic interactions involved in olfactory perception. The negative values of Gibbs free enthalpy indicate that the adsorption onto the human olfactory receptor was spontaneous, and the exothermic adsorption mechanism was explained through negative internal energy values.

Adsorption of 2-phenylethanethiol on two broadly tuned human olfactory receptors OR1A1 and OR2W1: Interpretation of the effect of copper ions via statistical physics monolayer adsorption model

Ismahene Ben Khemis et al.

Summary: The presence of copper ions was found to have a negative allosteric effect on the activation of OR1A1 by 2-phenylethanethiol, while it showed an orthosteric competitive effect on the activation of OR2W1. The study revealed that the adsorption process is based on physical adsorption, with varying adsorption energies in different systems. The experimental results provided insight into the distribution of olfactory receptor site sizes and adsorption energy.
