Molecular simulations of heterogeneous ice nucleation. I. Controlling ice nucleation through surface hydrophilicity

open access: yes, 2015
Ice formation is one of the most common and important processes on earth and almost always occurs at the surface of a material. A basic understanding of how the physicochemical properties of a material's surface affect its ability to form ice has ...

Dynamical Instabilities of Ice X

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2008
Water ice X is stable in the 120-400 GPa pressure range, as obtained from lattice dynamical calculations performed using the density-functional theory. Below 120 GPa, it is characterized by one unstable flat phonon band, which generates the disordered ice X structure.

Dynamic behaviour of rutford ice stream [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology, 1982
The grounding-line region of Rutford Ice Stream was surveyed from the ground during 1978–79 and 1979–80, and from the air in 1980–81. Maps of surface elevation and ice thickness of an area of 1 000 km2allow the grounding line to be delineated and show that the ice stream consists of several distinct fingers of thick ice trending parallel to the flow ...

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.

Bromine, iodine and sodium in surface snow along the 2013 Talos Dome–GV7 traverse (northern Victoria Land, East Antarctica) [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2017
Halogen chemistry in the polar regions occurs through the release of halogen elements from different sources. Bromine is primarily emitted from sea salt aerosols and other saline condensed phases associated with sea ice surfaces, while iodine is affected

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Anisotropic Radial Basis Function Methods for Continental Size Ice Sheet Simulations

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper we develop and implement anisotropic radial basis function methods for simulating the dynamics of ice sheets and glaciers. We test the methods on two problems: the well-known benchmark ISMIP-HOM B that corresponds to a glacier size ice and ...

Phase equilibrium of liquid water and hexagonal ice from enhanced sampling molecular dynamics simulations

open access: yes, 2020
We study the phase equilibrium between liquid water and ice Ih modeled by the TIP4P/Ice interatomic potential using enhanced sampling molecular dynamics simulations.

Environmental drivers of under-ice phytoplankton bloom dynamics in the Arctic Ocean

open access: yesElementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2020
The decline of sea-ice thickness, area, and volume due to the transition from multi-year to first-year sea ice has improved the under-ice light environment for pelagic Arctic ecosystems.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.
