Adaptation to an amoeba host drives selection of virulence-associated traits in Vibrio cholerae [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2021 Predation by heterotrophic protists drives the emergence of adaptive traits in bacteria, and often these traits lead to altered interactions with hosts and persistence in the environment.

Amoeba-Resisting Bacteria and Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003 To evaluate the role of amoeba-associated bacteria as agents of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), we tested the water from an intensive care unit (ICU) every week for 6 months for such bacteria isolates; serum samples and bronchoalveolar lavage ...

AMOEBA+ Classical Potential for Modeling Molecular Interactions
Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation, 2019 Classical potentials based on isotropic and additive atomic charges have been widely used to model molecules in computers for the past few decades. The crude approximations in the underlying physics are hindering both their accuracy and transferability ...

Implementation of Geometry Dependent Charge Flux into Polarizable AMOEBA+ Potential
Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2019 Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations employing classical force fields (FFs) have been widely used to model molecular systems. The important ingredient of the current FFs, atomic charge, remains fixed during MD simulations despite the atomic environment or

PLoS Pathogens, 2019 Free-living amoebae are thought to represent an environmental niche in which amoeba-resistant bacteria may evolve towards pathogenicity. To get more insights into factors playing a role for adaptation to intracellular life, we characterized the ...

Some considerations on amoeba forcing notions
Archive for Mathematical Logic, 2014 In this paper we analyse some notions of amoeba for tree forcings. In particular we introduce an amoeba-Silver and prove that it satisfies quasi pure decision but not pure decision.

Amoeba Formulation of Non-Bloch Band Theory in Arbitrary Dimensions [PDF]
Physical Review X, 2022 The non-Hermitian skin effect dramatically reshapes the energy bands of non-Hermitian systems, meaning that the usual Bloch band theory is fundamentally inadequate as their characterization.

Improving Condensed-Phase Water Dynamics with Explicit Nuclear Quantum Effects: The Polarizable Q-AMOEBA Force Field. [PDF]
Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2022 We introduce a new parametrization of the AMOEBA polarizable force field for water denoted Q-AMOEBA, for use in simulations that explicitly account for nuclear quantum effects (NQEs). This study is made possible thanks to the recently introduced adaptive
