The fundamental relation between electrohelicity and molecular optical activity

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Marc Hamilton Folkmann Garner

Electrohelicity arises in molecules such as allene and spiropentadiene when their symmetry is reduced and helical frontier molecular orbitals (MOs) appear. Such molecules are optically active and electrohelicity has been suggested as a possible design prin ...

A Biallelic Truncating Variant in the TPR Domain of GEMIN5 Associated with Intellectual Disability and Cerebral Atrophy

Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex

GEMIN5 is a multifunctional RNA-binding protein required for the assembly of survival motor neurons. Several bi-allelic truncating and missense variants in this gene are reported to cause a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by cerebellar atrophy, i ...

Sequence-dependent structural properties of B-DNA: what have we learned in 40 years?

John Maddocks, Daiva Petkeviciute, Rahul Sharma, Marco Pasi

The structure of B-DNA, the physiological form of the DNA molecule, has been a central topic in biology, chemistry and physics. Far from uniform and rigid, the double helix was revealed as a flexible and structurally polymorphic molecule. Conformational ch ...

Controlling the Topological Sector of Magnetic Solitons in Exfoliated Cr1/3NbS2 Crystals

Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga

We investigate manifestations of topological order in monoaxial helimagnet Cr1/3NbS2 by performing transport measurements on ultrathin crystals. Upon sweeping the magnetic field perpendicularly to the helical axis, crystals thicker than one helix pitch (48 ...

X-ray structure of a lectin-bound DNA duplex containing an unnatural phenanthrenyl pair

Maria Josefina Marcaida Lopez

DNA duplexes containing unnatural base-pair surrogates are attractive biomolecular nanomaterials with potentially beneficial photophysical or electronic properties. Herein we report the first X-ray structure of a duplex containing a phen-pair in the center ...

Development of bicyclic peptide Her2 binders and phage selection of alpha-helical peptide ligands

Philippe Diderich

Conformationally constrained peptide ligands offer an attractive format for the development of therapeutics. They can bind with high affinity and selectivity to protein targets, they are small enough to diffuse into tissues, they can be synthesized chemica ...

Conformational Preferences of Gas-Phase Helices: Experiment and Theory Struggle to Agree: The Seven-Residue Peptide Ac-Phe-(Ala)5-Lys-H+

Thomas Rizzo

The physical chemistry of bio molecules in the gas phase is progressing at a rapid pace. One of the most promising areas is the determination of the conformations of biologically important molecules. Quantitative determination of their relative energies is ...

A weakly nonlinear mechanism for mode selection in swirling jets

François Gallaire, Philippe Meliga

Global linear and nonlinear bifurcation analysis is used to revisit the spiral vortex breakdown of nominally axisymmetric swirling jets. For the parameters considered herein, stability analyses single out two unstable linear modes of azimuthal wavenumber m ...

Structural Preferences of Gas-Phase M2TMP Monomers upon Sequence Variations

Yury Tsybin, Hisham Ben Hamidane

The conformations of a number of M2TMP-(22-46) sequence variants have been investigated using ion mobility spectrometry (IMS). Substantial conformational changes were evidenced by IMS upon the variation of a single amino acid in the peptide sequence, with ...

Secondary Structure Assignment of Amyloid-β Peptide Using Chemical Shifts

Ursula Röthlisberger

The distinct conformational dependence of chemical shifts caused by R-helices and β-sheets renders NMR chemical shift analysis a powerful tool for the structural determination of proteins. However, the time scale of NMR experiments can make a secondary str ...

Géo-simulation des coûts généralisés de déplacement en transports privés et publics - Automatisation du paramétrage spatio-temporel

Nicolas Lachance-Bernard

Cet article présente une méthodologie pour automatiser la spécification des réseaux de transport adaptés pour la géo-simulation d'itinéraires multimodaux avec TransCAD afin d'évaluer les coûts généralisés de déplacements individuels en milieu urbain. Trois ...

A nonradial coarse-grained potential for proteins produces naturally stable secondary structure elements

Matteo Dal Peraro, Michele Cascella, Davide Alemani

We introduce a nonradial potential term for coarse-grained (CG) molecular simulations of proteins. This term mimics the backbone dipole−dipole interactions and accounts for the needed directionality to form stable folded secondary structure elements. We sh ...
