MED interaction energy model: nonempirical assessment of enzyme inhibition and activity

Abstract
Estimating the inhibitory potency of ligands and catalytic activity of enzyme mutants remains challenging as commonly employed empirical scoring functions still lack sufficient performance and routine in silico screening of mutant libraries with quantum chemical approaches is too computationally extensive. We propose a ligand scoring model MED [1] based on first principles and accounting for two long-range interaction energy components: multipole electrostatic and approximate dispersion terms. By merging computational efficiency with the lack of arbitrary parameterization, it functions as a robust tool for predicting the relative binding energy within enzyme binding and/or active sites. Herein, the predictive capabilities of the MED model will be compared with those of empirical scoring methods. The recent developments in MED-guided determination of mutant catalytic activity will also be presented, along with emerging principles to be followed in computational de novo enzyme design.

Quantitative comparison of reaction-diffusion cellular automata with partial differential equations

Abstract
Cellular automata (CA) are used to simulate physical processes with various degrees of precision, but vast majority of CA has not been theoretically proven to converge to their well-established PDE model counterparts. We present a stochastic reaction-diffusion CA with a parameter that can increase its precision by increasing the number of molecules within. We show how its solutions converge to the PDE model as parameters improve. These theoretical results give confidence in the accuracy of the CA model itself, but the error bounds are small enough only for impractically computationally intensive precision parameters. Therefore, we experimentally show that, even for small precision parameters, we obtain good quantitative and qualitative similarity between CA and PDE simulations. We discuss the methods and challenges of quantitatively comparing these models as well as discuss a few interesting findings about the specific reaction-diffusion modeled by them.

X-rays, electrons, and neutrons as probes of atomic matter

At Matthias' request, before the lecture, we are attaching a version of the manuscript on which the lecture is based in case someone in the audience would like to have a look before. Matthias would like to get the most rigorous possible check of his conclusions, in case anyone would find errors in the manuscript that could still be corrected before the manuscript is (hopefully) accepted.

Microbial influence on the growth of manganese mineral dendrites

Abstract:
Mineral dendrites are an example of a pattern that forms in rocks when theyare infiltrated by Mn-rich hydrothermal fluids. These fluids interact with oxygenated fluids within the rock matrix, leading to the formation of manganese oxide, which subsequently precipitates and forms intricate patterns. Bacteria can catalyze manganese oxidation reaction by at least 2-3 orders of magnitude and hence their presence can play a significant role in the formation and growth of manganese precipitates. We hypothesize that presence of Mn-oxidizing bacteria can also trigger band formation in the growing dendrites, which is observed in some natural structures.
We investigate this process using numerical simulations and analyze dependence of dendrite morphology on various physical parameters such as initial concentrations of manganese ions and oxygen molecules, reaction rates, nucleation thresholds, and surface energy. We have compared numerical results with experimental data on 3D dendrites in zeolites obtained using X-ray microtomography, which has revealed the presence of a banded pattern. Simulation results and experimental data agreement allows us to infer the presence of microorganisms during formation. We have compared numerical results to morphologies of the real systems with the aim of reconstructing hydrochemical conditions prevailing during their growth.

Machine learning coarse-grained potentials of protein thermodynamics

AbstractMolecular Dynamic simulations are becoming a standard tool to characterizeprotein dynamics. Despite the significant progress and impressive resultsobtained utilizing atomic-level force fields, simulations longer thanmilliseconds are still unfeasible for large protein systems. We presentrecent results on the developments of protein models at reduced resolutionthat can still well reproduce a protein configurational landscape but at asmall fraction of the cost. We discuss the method development and theresults, and we present a quantitative comparison of the thermodynamic anddynamic properties of different macromolecular systems at differentresolutions.
