Abstract
Kristen Fichthorn opened the discussion of the introductory lecture by James De Yoreo: I noted that in your potential of mean force (PMF) plots for various particle orientations, fluctuations occur such that different orientations could be preferred at a fixed distance. Could this affect the ag
