Molecular Dynamics Simulations with Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics and Adaptive Neural Networks
Direct
molecular dynamics (MD) simulation with ab initio quantum mechanical
and molecular mechanical (QM/MM) methods is very powerful for studying
the mechanism of chemical reactions in a complex environment but also
very time-consuming. The computational cost of QM/MM calculations
during MD simulations can be reduced significantly using semiempirical
QM/MM methods with lower accuracy. To achieve higher accuracy at the
ab initio QM/MM level, a correction on the existing semiempirical
QM/MM model is an attractive idea. Recently, we reported a neural
network (NN) method as QM/MM-NN to predict the potential energy difference
between semiempirical and ab initio QM/MM approaches. The high-level
results can be obtained using neural network based on semiempirical
QM/MM MD simulations, but the lack of direct MD samplings at the ab
initio QM/MM level is still a deficiency that limits the applications
of QM/MM-NN. In the present paper, we developed a dynamic scheme of
QM/MM-NN for direct MD simulations on the NN-predicted potential energy
surface to approximate ab initio QM/MM MD. Since some configurations
excluded from the database for NN training were encountered during
simulations, which may cause some difficulties on MD samplings, an
adaptive procedure inspired by the selection scheme reported by Behler
[Behler Int. J. Quantum Chem. 2015, 115, 1032; Behler Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2017, 56, 12828] was employed with some adaptions to update
NN and carry out MD iteratively. We further applied the adaptive QM/MM-NN
MD method to the free energy calculation and transition path optimization
on chemical reactions in water. The results at the ab initio QM/MM
level can be well reproduced using this method after 2–4 iteration
cycles. The saving in computational cost is about 2 orders of magnitude.
It demonstrates that the QM/MM-NN with direct MD simulations has great
potentials not only for the calculation of thermodynamic properties
but also for the characterization of reaction dynamics, which provides
a useful tool to study chemical or biochemical systems in solution
or enzymes
Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics Method Combined with Hybrid All-Atom and Coarse-Grained Model: Theory and Application on Redox Potential Calculations
We
developed a new multiresolution method that spans three levels
of resolution with quantum mechanical, atomistic molecular mechanical,
and coarse-grained models. The resolution-adapted all-atom and coarse-grained
water model, in which an all-atom structural description of the entire
system is maintained during the simulations, is combined with the
ab initio quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics method. We apply
this model to calculate the redox potentials of the aqueous ruthenium
and iron complexes by using the fractional number of electrons approach
and thermodynamic integration simulations. The redox potentials are
recovered in excellent accordance with the experimental data. The
speed-up of the hybrid all-atom and coarse-grained water model renders
it computationally more attractive. The accuracy depends on the hybrid
all-atom and coarse-grained water model used in the combined quantum
mechanical and molecular mechanical method. We have used another multiresolution
model, in which an atomic-level layer of water molecules around redox
center is solvated in supramolecular coarse-grained waters for the
redox potential calculations. Compared with the experimental data,
this alternative multilayer model leads to less accurate results when
used with the coarse-grained polarizable MARTINI water or big multipole
water model for the coarse-grained layer
Resolution-Adapted All-Atomic and Coarse-Grained Model for Biomolecular Simulations
We develop here an adaptive multiresolution
method for the simulation
of complex heterogeneous systems such as the protein molecules. The
target molecular system is described with the atomistic structure
while maintaining concurrently a mapping to the coarse-grained models.
The theoretical model, or force field, used to describe the interactions
between two sites is automatically adjusted in the simulation processes
according to the interaction distance/strength. Therefore, all-atomic,
coarse-grained, or mixed all-atomic and coarse-grained models would
be used together to describe the interactions between a group of atoms
and its surroundings. Because the choice of theory is made on the
force field level while the sampling is always carried out in the
atomic space, the new adaptive method preserves naturally the atomic
structure and thermodynamic properties of the entire system throughout
the simulation processes. The new method will be very useful in many
biomolecular simulations where atomistic details are critically needed
The Reactivity of the 1,4-Biradical Formed by Norrish Type Reactions of Aqueous Valerophenone: A QM/MM-Based FEP Study
In the present work, Norrish type reactions of aqueous valerophenone and the reactivity of the triplet 1,4-biradical formed by the 1,5-H shift have been studied with the free energy perturbation (FEP) method that is based on the combined scheme of quantum mechanics (QM) and molecular mechanics (MM). The fluctuation and diffusion of the solvent molecules were found to have an important influence on Norrish type reactions of valerophenone. The α C−C bond cleavages were predicted to be not in competition with the 1,5-H shift, which is consistent with the experimental findings that Norrish type II quantum yield is close to unity. The triplet lifetime of aqueous valerophenone was experimentally inferred to be 52 ns, which is nearly reproduced by the QM/MM-FEP calculated rate constant of 2.33 × 107 s−1. The calculated results show that branch ratios of the subsequent reactions from the triplet 1,4-biradical are mainly controlled by the equilibrium populations of its stable conformations. The ratio of cleavage to cyclization measured experimentally is well reproduced by the present QM/MM-FEP calculations. However, the absolute quantum yields of cleavage and cyclization reactions are underestimated theoretically and the reason for this is discussed
Table_4_Global, regional, and national incidence and mortality of neonatal sepsis and other neonatal infections, 1990–2019.XLSX
BackgroundNeonatal infections, especially neonatal sepsis, are one of the major causes of incidence and mortality in pediatrics. However, the global burden of neonatal sepsis and other neonatal infections (NSNIs) remains unclear.MethodsFrom the 2019 global disease burden study, we collected annual incident cases, deaths, age-standardized incidence rates (ASIRs), and age-standardized deaths rates (ASDRs) of NSNIs in the past 30 years. Analysis indicators included the percentage of relative changes in incident cases and deaths, and the estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) of ASIRs and ASDRs. Correlations were assessed between the EAPCs of ASIRs and ASDRs and social evaluation indicators, including sociodemographic index (SDI) and universal health coverage index (UHCI).ResultsGlobally, the number of incident cases of NSNIs grew by 12.79% per year, and the number of deaths dropped by 12.93% per year. During this period, global ASIR of NSNIs increased by 46% annually on average, while ASDR decreased by 53% annually on average. The ASIR and ASDR of female NSNIs were consistently lower than that of male NSNIs. The EAPC of female ASIR was 0.61, nearly twice that of male ASIR, and female ASIR was growing rapidly. The same declining trends of ASDR were noted in males and females. The ASIR of NSNIs in high-SDI regions grew by an average of 14% annually from 1990 to 2019. Except for high-SDI regions, the ASIRs of other 4 SDI regions maintained a rising trend at a high level, and were improved in the past 10 years. The ASDRs of all 5 SDI regions generally showed a downward trend. The region with the highest ASIR of NSNIs was Andean Latin America, and Western Sub-Saharan Africa had the highest mortality. We found a negative correlation between EAPCs of ASDRs and UHCI in 2019.ConclusionThe global health situation was still not optimal. The incidence of NSNIs remained high, and continues to rise. The mortality of NSNIs has decreased, especially in the countries/territories with high UHCI. Therefore, it is crucial to improve the overall awareness and management of NSNIs, and take interventions for NSNIs worldwide.</p
