A Polarizable Atomic Multipole-Based Force Field for Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Anionic Lipids

open access: yesMolecules, 2017
In all of the classical force fields, electrostatic interaction is simply treated and explicit electronic polarizability is neglected. The condensed-phase polarization, relative to the gas-phase charge distributions, is commonly accounted for in an ...

Implementing Optogenetic Modulation in Mechanotransduction

open access: yesPhysical Review X, 2020
Molecular optogenetic switch systems are extensively employed as a powerful tool to spatially and temporally modulate a variety of signal transduction processes in cells.

Patterning-mediated supramolecular assembly of lipids into nanopalms

open access: yesiScience, 2022
Summary: At nanoconfined interfaces, a micellar ink of lipids was programmed to transform into various secondary structures such as discs, sheets, or sheet and discs via patterning-mediated self-assembly facilitated by polymer pen lithography ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Study on the dissolution mechanism of cellulose in ionic liquids with coarse-grained force field [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Straw contains a large amount of cellulose and can be used as a raw material to produce cellulosic ethanol. Due to the large amount of inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonding of cellulose, it is insoluble in general solvents, which severely limits the

Interpreting the effects of DNA polymerase variants at the structural level

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Using MAVISp and molecular dynamics simulations, we analyzed over 60 000 missense variants in POLE and POLD1 from ClinVar, COSMIC, cBioPortal, and saturation mutagenesis. Identified mechanistic indicators, including stability, binding, and long‐range, enable structural interpretation, providing ACMG‐like evidence for possible reclassification of VUS ...

Combining Force Fields and Neural Networks for an Accurate Representation of Bonded Interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
We present a formalism of a neural network encoding of bonded interactions in molecules. This intramolecular encoding is consistent with models of intermolecular interactions previously designed by this group.

Tetrahedrality, hydrogen bonding and the density anomaly of the central force water model. A Monte Carlo study

open access: yesCondensed Matter Physics, 2021
Monte Carlo computer simulations in the canonical and grand canonical statistical ensemble were used to explore the properties of the central force (CF1) water model.

Molecular characterization of covRS mutations in M1UK Streptococcus pyogenes

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) acquires covRS mutations driving a hypervirulent bacterial state, frequently associated with invasive disease‐like necrotizing fasciitis. We demonstrate that the newly emerged M1UK GAS lineage can also acquire these mutations.

Isolation of Cellulose Nanofibers: Effect of Biotreatment on Hydrogen Bonding Network in Wood Fibers

open access: yesInternational Journal of Polymer Science, 2011
The use of cellulose nanofibres as high-strength reinforcement in nano-biocomposites is very enthusiastically being explored due to their biodegradability, renewability, and high specific strength properties. Cellulose, through a regular network of inter-
