Defining, Calculating, and Converging Observables of a Kinetic Transition Network.

Kinetic transition networks (KTNs) of local minima and transition states are able to capture the dynamics of numerous systems in chemistry, biology, and materials science. However, extracting observables is numerically challenging for large networks and generally will be sensitive to additional computational discovery. To have any measure of convergence for observables, these sensitivities must be regularly calculated. We present a matrix formulation of the discrete path sampling framework for KTNs, deriving expressions for branching probabilities, transition rates, and waiting times. Using the concept of the quasi-stationary distribution, a clear hierarchy of expressions for network observables is established, from exact results to steady-state approximations. We use these results in combination with the graph transformation method to derive the sensitivity, with respect to perturbations of the known KTN, giving explicit terms for the pairwise sensitivity and discussing the pathwise sensitivity. These results provide guidelines for converging the network, with respect to additional sampling, focusing on the estimates obtained for the overall rate coefficients between product and reactant states. We demonstrate this procedure for transitions in the double-funnel landscape of the 38-atom Lennard-Jones cluster.

Endogenous parathyroid hormone (PTH) and PTH-related peptide (PTHrP) bind to the parathyroid hormone receptor 1 (PTH1R) and activate the stimulatory G-protein (Gs) signaling pathway. Intriguingly, the two ligands have distinct signaling and physiological properties: PTH evokes prolonged Gs activation, whereas PTHrP evokes transient Gs activation with reduced bone-resorption effects. The distinct molecular actions are ascribed to the differences in ligand recognition and dissociation kinetics. Read More

Deciphering the Folding Mechanism of Proteins G and L and Their Mutants.

Authors:
Liwei Chang Alberto Perez

J Am Chem Soc 2022 Aug 5. Epub 2022 Aug 5.

Department of Chemistry, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611, United States.

Much of our understanding of folding mechanisms comes from interpretations of experimental ϕ and ψ value analysis, relating the differences in stability of the transition state ensemble (TSE) and folded state. We introduce a unified approach combining simulations and Bayesian inference to provide atomistic detail for the folding mechanism of proteins G and L and their mutants. Proteins G and L fold to similar topologies despite low sequence similarity, but differ in their folding pathways. Read More

Department of Molecular Chemistry and Materials Science, Weizmann Institute of Science, 7610001 Reḥovot, Israel.

To better understand the thermochemical kinetics and mechanism of a specific chemical reaction, an accurate estimation of barrier heights (forward and reverse) and reaction energies is vital. Because of the large size of reactants and transition state structures involved in real-life mechanistic studies (e.g. Read More

Multistep Crystallization of Dynamic Nanoparticle Superlattices in Nonaqueous Solutions.

Authors:
Yaxu Zhong Vincent R Allen Jun Chen Yi Wang Xingchen Ye

J Am Chem Soc 2022 Aug 5. Epub 2022 Aug 5.

Department of Chemistry, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47405, United States.

Crystallization is a universal phenomenon underpinning many industrial and natural processes and is fundamental to chemistry and materials science. However, microscopic crystallization pathways of nanoparticle superlattices have been seldom studied mainly owing to the difficulty of real-time observation of individual self-assembling nanoparticles in solution. Here, using in situ electron microscopy, we directly image the full self-assembly pathway from dispersed nanoparticles into ordered superlattices in nonaqueous solution. Read More

Role of Electronic Structure on Nitrate Reduction to Ammonium: A Periodic Journey.

Electrocatalysis is a promising approach to convert waste nitrate to ammonia and help close the nitrogen cycle. This renewably powered ammonia production process sources hydrogen from water (as opposed to methane in the thermal Haber-Bosch process) but requires a delicate balance between a catalyst's activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the nitrate reduction reaction (NORR), influencing the Faradaic efficiency (FE) and selectivity to ammonia/ammonium over other nitrogen-containing products. We measure ammonium FEs ranging from 3. Read More
