Dispassionate Borders: Common Patterns of Belonging in European Cross-Border Regions

Alexis Gumy, Ander Audikana Arriola, Garance Clément

Cross-border regions are seen as specific spaces where both cosmopolitanism and nationalistic attitudes can spread. It is commonly argued that due to the physical proximity to a neighbouring country, the development of cross-border encounters and interacti ...

Scaffolding protein functional sites using deep learning

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Wayne Yang Wen Wei, Karla Montserrat Castro Gilabert

The binding and catalytic functions of proteins are generally mediated by a small number of functional residues held in place by the overall protein structure. Here, we describe deep learning approaches for scaffolding such functional sites without needing ...

The Height of Chitinous Ridges Alone Produces the Entire Structural Color Palette

Hemant Kumar Raut

The colorful wings of butterflies result from the interaction between light and the intricate chitinous nanostructures on butterflies’ scales. This study demonstrates that just by reproducing the chitinous ridges present in butterfly scales (i.e., without ...

Statistical potentials from the Gaussian scaling behaviour of chain fragments buried within protein globules

Stefano Zamuner

Knowledge-based approaches use the statistics collected from protein data-bank structures to estimate effective interaction potentials between amino acid pairs. Empirical relations are typically employed that are based on the crucial choice of a reference ...

Single-Chain Nanoparticles for Intracellular Drug Delivery

Suiyang Liao

Single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) are a type of polymeric nanoparticles formed by collapsing/folding individual polymer chains via intra-molecular interactions. Their emergence holds promise to construct sub-20 nm polymeric nanoparticles with defined stru ...

Quantitative Analysis of Nanorough Hydrogenated Si(111) Surfaces through Vibrational Spectral Assignment by Periodic DFT Calculations br

Christophe Ballif, Stefaan De Wolf, Jakub Holovsky

In this work, we use periodic density functional theory(periodic DFT) to rigorously assign vibrational spectra measured on nanorough wet-processed hydrogenated Si(111) surfaces. We compare Si(111)-(1x1) surfaces etched by dilute HF and NH4F, featuring two ...

Assessment of transferable forcefields for protein simulations attests improved description of disordered states and secondary structure propensities, and hints at multi-protein systems as the next challenge for optimization

Matteo Dal Peraro, Luciano Andres Abriata

Continuous assessment of transferable forcefields for molecular simulations is essential to identify their weaknesses and direct improvement efforts. The latest efforts focused on better describing disordered proteins while retaining proper description of ...

SPServer: split-statistical potentials for the analysis of protein structures and protein-protein interactions

Jaume Bonet Martinez

BackgroundStatistical potentials, also named knowledge-based potentials, are scoring functions derived from empirical data that can be used to evaluate the quality of protein folds and protein-protein interaction (PPI) structures. In previous works we deco ...

Identifying the origin of local flexibility in a carbohydrate polymer

Klaus Kern, Stephan Rauschenbach, Sabine Abb

Correlating the structures and properties of a polymer to its monomer sequence is key to understanding how its higher hierarchy structures are formed and how its macroscopic material properties emerge. Carbohydrate polymers, such as cellulose and chitin, a ...

On the use of direct-coupling analysis with a reduced alphabet of amino acids combined with super-secondary structure motifs for protein fold prediction

Jaume Bonet Martinez

Direct-coupling analysis (DCA) for studying the coevolution of residues in proteins has been widely used to predict the three-dimensional structure of a protein from its sequence. We present RADI/raDIMod, a variation of the original DCA algorithm that grou ...
