Structural and Mechanistic Bases of Viral Resistance to HIV-1 Capsid Inhibitor Lenacapavir
Lenacapavir (LEN) is a long-acting, highly potent HIV-1 capsid (CA) inhibitor. The evolution of viral variants under the genetic pressure of LEN identified Q67H, N74D, and Q67H/N74D CA substitutions as the main resistance associated mutations (RAMs ...

On the Thermal Stability of Graphone
Molecular dynamics simulation is used to study thermally activated migration of hydrogen atoms in graphone, a magnetic semiconductor formed of a graphene monolayer with one side covered with hydrogen so that hydrogen atoms are adsorbed on each other ...

Positional disorder in ammonia borane at ambient conditions [PDF]
We solve a long-standing experimental discrepancy of NH$_3$BH$_3$, which---as a molecule---has a threefold rotational axis, but in its crystallized form at room temperature shows a fourfold symmetry about the same axis, creating a geometric ...

Energy considerations show that low-barrier hydrogen bonds do not offer a catalytic advantage over ordinary hydrogen bonds [PDF]
Low-barrier hydrogen bonds have recently been proposed as a major factor in enzyme catalysis. Here we evaluate the feasibility of transition state (TS) stabilization by low-barrier hydrogen bonds in enzymes. Our analysis focuses on the facts that ( i ) a low-barrier hydrogen bond is less stable than a regular ...

Structures of Trypanosoma brucei methionyl-tRNA synthetase with urea-based inhibitors provide guidance for drug design against sleeping sickness. [PDF]
Methionyl-tRNA synthetase of Trypanosoma brucei (TbMetRS) is an important target in the development of new antitrypanosomal drugs. The enzyme is essential, highly flexible and displaying a large degree of changes in protein domains and binding pockets in

The Influence of Graphene Curvature on Hydrogen Adsorption: Towards Hydrogen Storage Devices
The ability of atomic hydrogen to chemisorb on graphene makes the latter a promising material for hydrogen storage. Based on scanning tunneling microscopy techniques, we report on site-selective adsorption of atomic hydrogen on convexly curved regions of
