As knowledge of individual biological processes grows, it becomes increasingly useful to frame new findings within their larger biological contexts in order to generate new systems-scale hypotheses. This report highlights two major iterations of a whole virus model of HIV-1 , generated with the cellPACK software. cellPACK integrates structural and systems biology data with packing algorithms to assemble comprehensive 3D models of cell-scale structures in molecular detail. This report describes the biological data, modeling parameters and cellPACK methods used to specify and construct editable models for HIV-1. Anticipating that cellPACK interfaces under development will enable researchers from diverse backgrounds to critique and improve the biological models, we discuss how cellPACK can be used as a framework to unify different types of data across all scales of biology.

The low frequency ( ν 500 cm ?1 ) vibrational spectra of hydrated porous silica are specifically sensitive to the hydrogen bond interactions and provide a wealth of information on the structural and dynamical properties of the water contained in the pores of the matrix. We investigate systematically this spectral region for a series of Vycor porous silica samples (pore size ≈ 4 nm) at different levels of hydration, from the dry matrix to completely filled pores. The spectra are obtained as the Fourier transforms of time-resolved heterodyne detected optical Kerr effect (HD-OKE) measurements. The comparison of these spectra with that of bulk water enables us to separately extract and analyze the spectral contributions of the first and second hydration layers, as well as that of bulk-like inner water. We conclude that the extra water entering the pores above ≈10% water/silica weight ratio behaves very similarly to bulk water. At lower levels of hydration, corresponding to two complete superficial water layers or less, the H-bond bending and stretching bands, characteristic of the tetrahedral coordination of water in the bulk phase, progressively disappear: clearly in these conditions the H-bond connectivity is very different from that of liquid water. A similar behavior is observed for the structural relaxation times measured from the decay of the time-dependent HD-OKE signal. The value for the inner water is very similar to that of the bulk liquid; that of the first two water layers is definitely longer by a factor ≈4. These findings should be carefully taken into account when employing pore confinement to extend towards lower temperatures the accessible temperature range of supercooled water.

Alumina and silica Zener pinning particles in sol-gel prepared nanocrystalline ZrO 2 and MgO have been characterised using 27 Al and 29 Si MAS NMR after annealing at various temperatures up to 1200 °C. The structures of the pinning phases were found to differ not just between the two metal oxide systems but also depending on the exact method of manufacture. Three distinct transitional alumina phases have been observed in different alumina-pinned samples annealed at 1200 °C, one in particular identified by a peak at a shift of 95 ppm in the 27 Al NMR spectrum . Both the alumina and silica pinning phases reacted with the MgO nanocrystals , forming spinel in the case of alumina , and enstatite and forsterite in the case of silica . Despite reacting readily with the MgO, the silica pinning particles were effective at restricting grain growth, with 11 nm MgO nanocrystals remaining after annealing at 1000 °C.

The paper is dedicated to the recently developed by the authors technique of silver nanoisland growth, allowing self-arrangement of 2D-patterns of nanoislands. The technique employs silver out-diffusion from ion-exchanged glass in the course of annealing in hydrogen. To modify the silver ion distribution in the exchanged soda-lime glass we included the thermal poling of the ion-exchanged glass with a profiled electrode as an intermediate stage of the process. The resulting consequence consists of three steps: (i) during the ion exchange of the glass in the Ag x Na 1? x NO 3 ( x = 0.01–0.15) melt we enrich the subsurface layer of the glass with silver ions; (ii) under the thermal poling, the electric field displaces these ions deeper into the glass under the 2D profiled anodic electrode, the displacement is smaller under the hollows in the electrode where the intensity of the field is minimal; (iii) annealing in a reducing atmosphere of hydrogen results in silver out-diffusion only in the regions corresponding to the electrode hollows, as a result silver forms nanoislands following the shape of the electrode. Varying the electrode and mode of processing allows governing the nanoisland size distribution and self-arrangement of the isolated single nanoislands, pairs, triples or groups of several nanoislands—so-called plasmonic molecules.

Layer-stacked graphene oxide (GO) membranes, in which unique two-dimensional (2D) water channels are formed between two neighboring GO nanosheets, have demonstrated great potential for aqueous phase separation. Subjects of crucial importance are to fundamentally understand the interlayer spacing ( i.e. channel height) of GO membranes in an aqueous environment, elucidate the mechanisms for water transport within such 2D channels, and precisely control the interlayer spacing to tune the membrane separation capability for targeted applications. In this investigation, we used an integrated quartz crystal mass balance (QCM-D) and ellipsometry to experimentally monitor the interlayer spacing of GO, reduced GO and crosslinked GO in aqueous solution and found that crosslinking can effectively prevent GO from swelling and precisely control the interlayer spacing. We then used molecular dynamics simulations to study the mass transport inside the 2D channels and proved that the chemical functional groups on the GO plane dramatically slow down water transport in the channels. Our findings on GO structure and water transport provide a necessary basis for further tailoring and optimizing the design and fabrication of GO membranes in various separation applications.

Molecular dynamics simulations of a 5 nm-thick layer of the ionic liquid 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate , [(OH)C 2 C 1 im][BF 4 ], over silica , alumina and boro-silicate glass substrates have been performed. The structure of the ionic liquid at the solid-liquid interface has been interpreted taking into account the corresponding normal density profiles, lateral interfacial structure, orientational ordering and planar density contours. Comparisons with experimental data suggest that the adsorption and stratification process of ionic liquids over solid substrates can be correctly modeled using a realistic rendition of a non-uniform amorphous substrate such as a glass material.

If the twentieth century was the age of precisely designed molecules, the twenty-first century is beginning to look like the age of reticulated molecules. In the spirit of the Faraday Discussion meeting, we wish to highlight the power of harnessing the reticulated molecule and suggest that its chemistry can be furthered by viewing our reticular structures from the ‘eye of the molecule’. To clarify what is meant by this term, we wish to first take stock of the current state of reticular chemistry.

The formation of a self-organized spatial domain during current-controlled CO oxidation, a kinetically bistable reaction, is investigated experimentally and by deterministic simulations as a function of the electrode size and of the supporting electrolyte concentration. Decreasing the microelectrode size leads to the suppression of the spatial instability at the electrode and thus stabilizes the S-NDR branch of the reaction. The critical microelectrode size capable of supporting sustained domain formation is shown to be strongly affected by the sulfuric acid concentration, the characteristic time of the positive feedback loop increasing with the sulfate concentration. Furthermore, we demonstrate that for microelectrode diameters close to the instability threshold, small amplitude electrochemical potential fluctuations appear in the system. These potential fluctuations cannot be captured by deterministic mathematical models and are attributed to a strong enhancement of molecular fluctuations or intrinsic noise in the vicinity of the spatial instability. Analysis of the electrochemical noise revealed a 1/ f ? 2 frequency dependence and several common features with neuronal shot noise.

With advances in computational power, the rapidly growing role of computational/simulation methodologies in the physical sciences, and the development of new human–computer interaction technologies, the field of interactive molecular dynamics seems destined to expand. In this paper, we describe and benchmark the software algorithms and hardware setup for carrying out interactive molecular dynamics utilizing an array of consumer depth sensors. The system works by interpreting the human form as an energy landscape, and superimposing this landscape on a molecular dynamics simulation to chaperone the motion of the simulated atoms, affecting both graphics and sonified simulation data. GPU acceleration has been key to achieving our target of 60 frames per second (FPS), giving an extremely fluid interactive experience. GPU acceleration has also allowed us to scale the system for use in immersive 360° spaces with an array of up to ten depth sensors, allowing several users to simultaneously chaperone the dynamics. The flexibility of our platform for carrying out molecular dynamics simulations has been considerably enhanced by wrappers that facilitate fast communication with a portable selection of GPU-accelerated molecular force evaluation routines. In this paper, we describe a 360° atmospheric molecular dynamics simulation we have run in a chemistry/physics education context. We also describe initial tests in which users have been able to chaperone the dynamics of 10-alanine peptide embedded in an explicit water solvent. Using this system, both expert and novice users have been able to accelerate peptide rare event dynamics by 3–4 orders of magnitude.
