Fundamental behaviors emerge from simulations of a living minimal cell

Zane R. Thornburg et al.

Summary: This study presents a whole-cell fully dynamical kinetic model (WCM) of JCVI-syn3A, a minimal cell, to investigate its behavior and provide insights into the principles of life for this microorganism. The model reveals the strategies employed by the cell to balance its metabolism, genetic processes, and growth, and analyzes the energy economy of various processes. Integration of experimental data in building the kinetic model allows for the prediction of mRNA half-lives, comparison with qPCR results, and observation of doubling behavior.

Modelling structural properties of cyanine dye nanotubes at coarse-grained level

Ilias Patmanidis et al.

Summary: Self-assembly is a widely observed process, but understanding its dynamic pathways and molecular details of the final structures is challenging. This study addresses this problem by using coarse-grained modeling and successfully optimizing parameters for a cyanine dye. Simulations provide information on the time-dependent local arrangement of the dye during self-assembly, and guidelines for designing and optimizing similar self-assembling nanomaterials.

Permeation Rates of Oxygen through a Lipid Bilayer Using Replica Exchange Transition Interface Sampling

Enrico Riccardi et al.

Summary: Several simulation strategies have been compared for predicting solute permeability across membranes, with RETIS shown to be an effective method. By converting collective order parameters and introducing a correction factor, RETIS is able to accurately assess the permeation kinetics of drug molecules.

AI-driven multiscale simulations illuminate mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 spike dynamics

Lorenzo Casalino et al.

Summary: The study introduced a generalizable AI-driven workflow that allows for more efficient exploration of the dynamics of molecular systems, particularly focusing on the mechanisms of infectivity of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Several novel scientific discoveries were made, including the elucidation of the spike protein's full glycan shield, the role of spike glycans in modulating virus infectivity, and the characterization of flexible interactions between the spike protein and the human ACE2 receptor. The research also demonstrated the potential of AI in accelerating conformational sampling across different systems for future applications in SARS-CoV-2 and other molecular systems.

Membrane shape remodeling by protein crowding

Susanne Liese et al.

Summary: The study presents a minimal model of membrane shape changes induced by asymmetric protein crowding, showing that the interplay between induced spontaneous curvature and membrane tension determines energy-minimizing shapes, which explains a wide range of experimentally observed membrane shapes. The model also provides precise predictions on how membrane shape changes by protein crowding can be adjusted by controlling protein size, density, and crowded domain size.

Synapsin-Promoted Caveolin-1 Overexpression Maintains Mitochondrial Morphology and Function in PSAPP Alzheimer's Disease Mice

Shanshan Wang et al.

Summary: Mitochondrial dysfunction is a pivotal factor in Alzheimer's Disease, and the protein Cav-1 may play a critical role in maintaining normal mitochondrial morphology and function by regulating mitochondrial dynamics. Neuron-targeted expression of Cav-1 in PSAPP mice was shown to improve cognitive function, neuronal morphology, and synaptic structure, while also protecting mitochondrial function.

Exact non-Markovian permeability from rare event simulations

An Ghysels et al.

Summary: The permeation of compounds through membranes is crucial in biological and engineering processes. Recent attempts focus on using milestoning to study rare permeation events at timescales beyond conventional molecular dynamics. The introduction of new path Monte Carlo moves has significantly increased efficiency in studying permeation dynamics.
