Rugged Metropolis Sampling with Simultaneous Updating of Two Dynamical Variables [PDF]
The Rugged Metropolis (RM) algorithm is a biased updating scheme, which aims at directly hitting the most likely configurations in a rugged free energy landscape. Details of the one-variable (RM$_1$) implementation of this algorithm are presented. This is followed by an extension to simultaneous updating of two dynamical variables (RM$_2$).

Catalytic Serine Labeling in Nonaqueous, Acidic Media
Serine‐targeting protein bioconjugation has been a formidable challenge because of the modest reactivity of the alkyl alcohol group in aqueous media. This work demonstrates a biomolecule‐compatible, nonaqueous approach to achieve alkyl alcohol‐selective labeling through acid‐catalyzed esterification reactions, which offers a unique advantage over the ...

Simulating Met-Enkephalin With Population Annealing Molecular Dynamics [PDF]
Met-enkephalin, one of the smallest opiate peptides and an important neurotransmitter, is a widely used benchmarking problem in the field of molecular simulation. Through its range of possible low-temperature conformations separated by free-energy barriers it was previously found to be hard to thermalize using straight canonical molecular dynamics ...

Rh‐Catalyzed Hydroamination of Allenes: Asymmetric N‐Allylation of Amino Acids and Peptides
A rhodium‐catalyzed, atom‐economic method for the branched‐selective hydroamination of terminal allenes with α‐amino acid esters is reported. High levels of enantio‐ and diastereoselectivity were achieved by using commercially available ligands, with complete catalyst control demonstrated in several products.

The Folding Funnel Landscape of the Peptide Met-enkephalin [PDF]
We study the free energy landscape of the small peptide Met-enkephalin. Our data were obtained from a generalized-ensemble Monte Carlo simulation taking the interactions among all atoms into account. We show that the free energy landscape resembles that of a funnel, indicating that this peptide is a good folder.

This study investigated the capability of electromembrane extraction (EME) as a general technique for peptides, by extracting complex pools of peptides comprising in total of 5953 different substances, varying in size from seven to 16 amino acids. Electromembrane extraction was conducted from a sample adjusted to pH 3.0 and utilized a liquid membrane ...

Propagation of Fluctuations in Biochemical Systems, I: Linear SSC Networks [PDF]
We investigate the propagation of random fluctuations through biochemical networks in which the concentrations of species are large enough so that the unperturbed problem is well-described by ordinary differential equation. We characterize the behavior of variance as fluctuations propagate down chains, study the effect of side chains and feedback loops,

Abstract Objective Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a visceral fat that has been associated with coronary artery disease and atrial fibrillation. Previous work has revealed that EAT exhibits beige features. Methods First, a new pan‐genomic microarray analysis was performed on previously collected paired human EAT and thoracic subcutaneous AT (thSAT ...
