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.

First-principles Calculation of the Formation Energy in MgO-CaO Solid Solutions

open access: yes, 2001
The electronic structure and total energy were calculated for ordered and disordered MgO-CaO solid solutions within the multiple scattering theory in real space and the local density approximation.

First-principles calculation of entropy for liquid metals. [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics, 2013
We demonstrate the accurate calculation of entropies and free energies for a variety of liquid metals using an extension of the two-phase thermodynamic (2PT) model based on a decomposition of the velocity autocorrelation function into gas-like (hard ...

Crystals from metallic clusters: A first-principles calculation [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review B, 1993
The interactions of the ``magic'' ${\mathrm{Al}}_{12}$Si clusters are studied by first-principles electron-structure calculations. It is shown that clusters arranged into the fcc lattice do not conserve their separated-cluster icosahedral structure but coalesce to form a close-packed metal.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Characterization of platinum nitride from first-principles calculations [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2009
We have performed a systematic study of the ground state properties of the zinc-blende, rock-salt, tetragonal, cuprite, fluorite and pyrite phases of platinum nitride by using the plane wave pseudopotential calculations within the density functional theory. The equilibrium structural parameters and bulk moduli are computed within both the local density

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Using First-Principles Calculation Packages

open access: yesHyomen Kagaku, 2007
In order to help those who want to learn first-principles calculations, specification requirements for a computing machine will be shown and a few of first-principles calculation packages will be introduced.

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

First Principles Calculation of Helical Spin Order in Iron Perovskite SrFeO3 and BaFeO3

open access: yes, 2012
Motivated by recent discovery of ferromagnetism in cubic perovskite BaFeO3 under small magnetic field, we investigate spin order in BaFeO3 and isostructual SrFeO3 by the first principles calculation.
