Density functional calculations of La(H2O)103+ and Mg(H2O)62+ adsorption on kaolinite surfaces

open access: yes矿业科学学报
Ion-type rare earth ore is a crucial category of strategic mineral resources in China. Rare earth elements in these ores are adsorbed on the surface of clay minerals (such as kaolinite) in the form of ion hydrate.

vdW-DF Study of energetic, structural, and vibrational properties of small water clusters and ice Ih

open access: yes, 2011
We present results for a density functional theory study of small water clusters and hexagonal ice Ih, using the van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF). In particular, we examine energetic, structural, and vibrational properties of these systems.

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).

Optimal atomic structure of amorphous silicon obtained from density functional theory calculations

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2017
Atomic structure of amorphous silicon consistent with several reported experimental measurements has been obtained from annealing simulations using electron density functional theory calculations and a systematic removal of weakly bound atoms. The excess

Nature of Excitons in Bidimensional WSe2 by Hybrid Density Functional Theory Calculations

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2018
2D tungsten diselenide (2D-WSe2) is one of the most successful bidimensional materials for optoelectronic and photonic applications, thanks to its strong photoluminescence properties and to a characteristic large exciton binding energy.

Exponential integrators in time-dependent density-functional calculations

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2017
The integrating factor and exponential time differencing methods are implemented and tested for solving the time-dependent Kohn--Sham equations. Popular time propagation methods used in physics, as well as other robust numerical approaches, are compared to these exponential integrator methods in order to judge the relative merit of the computational ...

Subsystem density functional theory with meta generalized gradient approximation exchange-correlation functionals

open access: yes, 2015
We analyze the methodology and the performance of subsystem density functional theory (DFT) with meta-generalized gradient approximation (meta-GGA) exchange-correlation functionals for non-bonded systems.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.
