Formation mechanisms of secondary and tertiary/quaternary structural elements from the primary structure are driven by the kinetic properties of the respective systems. Here we have carried out thermodynamic and kinetic characterization of an alpha helical heteropeptide in two protonation states, created with the addition and removal of a proton involving a single histidine residue in the primary structure. Applying far-UV circular dichroism spectroscopy, the alpha helix is observed to be significantly more stable in the deprotonated state. Nanosecond laser temperature jump spectroscopy monitoring time-resolved tryptophan fluorescence on the protonated conformer is carried out to measure the kinetics of this system. The measured relaxation rates at a final temperature between 296K and 314 K generated a faster component of 20 ns–11 ns and a slower component of 314 ns–198 ns. Atomically detailed characterization of the helix-coil kinetic pathways is performed based on all-atom molecular dynamics trajectories of the two conformers. Application of clustering and kinetic coarse-graining with optimum dimensionality reduction produced description of the trajectories in terms of kinetic models with two to five states. These models include aggregate states corresponding to helix, coil, and intermediates. The “coil” state involves the largest number of conformations, consistent with the expected high entropy of this structural ensemble. The “helix” aggregate states are found to be mixed with the full helix and partially folded forms. The experimentally observed higher helix stability in the deprotonated form of the alpha helical heteropeptide is reflected in the nature of the “helix” aggregate state arising from the kinetic model. In the protonated form, the “coil” state exhibits the lowest free energy and longest lifetime, while in the deprotonated form, it is the “helix” that is found to be most stable. Overall, the coarse grained models suggest that the protonation of a single histidine residue in the primary structure induces significant changes in the free energy landscape and kinetic network of the studied helix-forming heteropeptide

    Influence of temperature and viscosity on anthracene rotational diffusion in organic solvents: Molecular dynamics simulations and fluorescence anisotropy study

    This is the publisher's version, also available electronically from http://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/jcp/107/21/10.1063/1.475172.Molecular dynamics simulations and fluorescenceanisotropy decay measurements are used to investigate the rotational diffusion of anthracene in two organic solvents—cyclohexane and 2-propanol—at several temperatures. Molecular dynamics simulations of 1 ns length were performed for anthracene in cyclohexane (at 280, 296, and 310 K) and in 2-propanol (at 296 K). The calculated time constants for reorientation of the short in-plane axis were 7–9 and 11–16 ps at 296 K in cyclohexane and 2-propanol, respectively, in excellent agreement with corresponding fluorescence depolarization measurements of 8 and 14 ps. The measured rotational reorientation times and the calculated average rotational diffusion coefficients varied in accord with Debye–Stokes–Einstein theory. Their magnitudes were close to values predicted for an ellipsoid of shape and size equivalent to an anthracene molecule, and exhibited predictable variation with external conditions—increasing with temperature and decreasing with solventviscosity. However, analysis of the calculated rotational diffusion coefficients for the individual molecular axes gave a more complex picture. The diffusion was highly anisotropic and changes in temperature and solvent type led to nonuniform variation of the diffusion coefficients. The nature of these changes was rationalized based on analysis of variation of solvation patterns with temperature and solvent

    Highly-anisotropic and strongly-dissipative hydrodynamics with transverse expansion

    Full text link
    A recently formulated framework of highly-anisotropic and strongly-dissipative hydrodynamics (ADHYDRO) is used to describe the evolution of matter created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. New developments of the model contain: the inclusion of asymmetric transverse expansion (combined with the longitudinal boost-invariant flow) and comparisons of the model results with the RHIC data, which have become possible after coupling of ADHYDRO with THERMINATOR. Various soft-hadronic observables (the transverse-momentum spectra, the elliptic flow coefficient v_2, and the HBT radii) are calculated for different initial conditions characterized by the value of the initial pressure asymmetry. We find that as long as the initial energy density profile is unchanged the calculated observables remain practically the same. This result indicates the insensitivity of the analyzed observables to the initial anisotropy of pressure and suggests that the complete thermalization of the system may be delayed to easily acceptable times of about 1 fm/c

    Accretions of Various Types of Dark Energies onto Morris-Thorne Wormhole

    Full text link
    In this work, we have studied accretion of the dark energies onto Morris-Thorne wormhole. For quintessence like dark energy, the mass of the wormhole decreases and phantom like dark energy, the mass of wormhole increases. We have assumed two types of dark energy like variable modified Chaplygin gas (VMCG) and generalized cosmic Chaplygin gas (GCCG). We have found the expression of wormhole mass in both cases. We have found the mass of the wormhole at late universe and this is finite. For our choices the parameters and the function B(a)B(a), these models generate only quintessence dark energy (not phantom) and so wormhole mass decreases during evolution of the universe. Next we have assumed 5 kinds of parametrizations of well known dark energy models. These models generate both quintessence and phantom scenarios. So if these dark energies accrete onto the wormhole, then for quintessence stage, wormhole mass decreases upto a certain value (finite value) and then again increases to infinite value for phantom stage during whole evolution of the universe. We also shown these results graphically.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1112.615

    Virtual Partner Interaction (VPI): Exploring Novel Behaviors via Coordination Dynamics

    Get PDF
    Inspired by the dynamic clamp of cellular neuroscience, this paper introduces VPI—Virtual Partner Interaction—a coupled dynamical system for studying real time interaction between a human and a machine. In this proof of concept study, human subjects coordinate hand movements with a virtual partner, an avatar of a hand whose movements are driven by a computerized version of the Haken-Kelso-Bunz (HKB) equations that have been shown to govern basic forms of human coordination. As a surrogate system for human social coordination, VPI allows one to examine regions of the parameter space not typically explored during live interactions. A number of novel behaviors never previously observed are uncovered and accounted for. Having its basis in an empirically derived theory of human coordination, VPI offers a principled approach to human-machine interaction and opens up new ways to understand how humans interact with human-like machines including identification of underlying neural mechanisms
