Molecular dynamics studies of anomalous transport in rarefied gas flows [PDF]
We investigate the thermodynamically non-equilibrium gas dynamics by measuring molecular free path distribution functions, inter-molecular collision rates and wall dependent mean free path (MFP) profiles using the molecular dynamics (MD) method.

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

In situ and real-time ultrafast spectroscopy of photoinduced reactions in perovskite nanomaterials
By employing two synchronized mode-locked femtosecond lasers and interferometric detection of the pump-probe spectra—referred to as asynchronous and interferometric transient absorption—we have developed a method for broad dynamic range and rapid data ...

Ultrafast fluxional exchange dynamics in electrolyte solvation sheath of lithium ion battery
The lithium solvation structure in the electrolyte solution for lithium-ion batteries has not been fully understood. Here, the authors show ultrafast fluxional exchange of carbonate solvent molecules in and out of lithium-ion solvation sheath utilizing ...

Laser scanning reflection-matrix microscopy for aberration-free imaging through intact mouse skull
Microscopic imaging of the brain usually requires thinning of the skull, as it causes complex aberration. Here, the authors introduce a label-free imaging modality termed laser scanning reflection-matrix microscopy, which allows for correcting these ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Coupling Constant pH Molecular Dynamics with Accelerated Molecular Dynamics [PDF]
An extension of the constant pH method originally implemented by Mongan et al. (J. Comput. Chem.2004, 25, 2038-2048) is proposed in this study. This adapted version of the method couples the constant pH methodology with the enhanced sampling technique of accelerated molecular dynamics, in an attempt to overcome the sampling issues encountered with ...

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.

Validation of molecular dynamics simulation [PDF]
How the results obtained by computer simulation of molecular systems can be validated is considered. The overall quality of the simulated properties of a molecular system will depend on (i) the quality of the theory or model, (ii) the accuracy of the ...

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation
Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.
