Strain-controlled isotropic compression gives rise to jammed packings of repulsive, frictionless disks with either positive or negative global shear moduli. We carry out computational studies to understand the contributions of the negative shear moduli to the mechanical response of jammed disk packings. We first decompose the ensemble-averaged, global shear modulus as 〈G〉=(1−F−)〈G+〉+F−〈G−〉, where F− is the fraction of jammed packings with negative shear moduli and 〈G+〉 and 〈G−〉 are the average values from packings with positive and negative moduli, respectively. We show that 〈G+〉 and 〈|G−|〉 obey different power-law scaling relations above and below pN2∼1. For pN2>1, both 〈G+〉N and 〈|G−|〉N∼(pN2)β, where β∼0.5 for repulsive linear spring interactions. Despite this, 〈G〉N∼(pN2)β′ with β′≳0.5 due to the contributions from packings with negative shear moduli. We show further that the probability distribution of global shear moduli P(G) collapses at fixed pN2 and different values of p and N. We calculate analytically that P(G) is a Γ distribution in the pN2≪1 limit. As pN2 increases, the skewness of P(G) decreases and P(G) becomes a skew-normal distribution with negative skewness in the pN2≫1 limit. We also partition jammed disk packings into subsystems using Delaunay triangulation of the disk centers to calculate local shear moduli. We show that the local shear moduli defined from groups of adjacent triangles can be negative even when G>0. The spatial correlation function of local shear moduli C(r⃗) displays weak correlations for pnsub2<10−2, where nsub is the number of particles within each subsystem. However, C(r⃗) begins to develop long-ranged spatial correlations with fourfold angular symmetry for pnsub2≳10−2.

The reconstruction of cancer phylogeny trees and quantifying the evolution of the disease is a challenging task. LICHeE and BAMSE are two computational tools designed and implemented recently for this purpose. They both utilize estimated variant allele fraction of somatic mutations across multiple samples to infer the most likely cancer phylogenies. This unit provides extensive guidelines for installing and running both LICHeE and BAMSE. © 2018 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

We introduce Cell2Sentence (C2S), a novel method to directly adapt large language models to a biological context, specifically single-cell transcriptomics. By transforming gene expression data into"cell sentences," C2S bridges the gap between natural language processing and biology. We demonstrate cell sentences enable the finetuning of language models for diverse tasks in biology, including cell generation, complex cell-type annotation, and direct data-driven text generation. Our experiments reveal that GPT-2, when fine-tuned with C2S, can generate biologically valid cells based on cell type inputs, and accurately predict cell types from cell sentences. This illustrates that language models, through C2S finetuning, can acquire a significant understanding of single-cell biology while maintaining robust text generation capabilities. C2S offers a flexible, accessible framework to integrate natural language processing with transcriptomics, utilizing existing models and libraries for a wide range of biological applications.

There have been several studies suggesting that protein structures solved by NMR spectroscopy and x-ray crystallography show significant differences. To understand the origin of these differences, we assembled a database of high-quality protein structures solved by both methods. We also find significant differences between NMR and crystal structures|in the root-mean-square deviations of the Cα atomic positions, identities of core amino acids, backbone and sidechain dihedral angles, and packing fraction of core residues. In contrast to prior studies, we identify the physical basis for these differences by modelling protein cores as jammed packings of amino-acid-shaped particles. We find that we can tune the jammed packing fraction by varying the degree of thermalization used to generate the packings. For an athermal protocol, we find that the average jammed packing fraction is identical to that observed in the cores of protein structures solved by x-ray crystallography. In contrast, highly thermalized packing-generation protocols yield jammed packing fractions that are even higher than those observed in NMR structures. These results indicate that thermalized systems can pack more densely than athermal systems, which suggests a physical basis for the structural differences between protein structures solved by NMR and x-ray crystallography.

The ability to consistently distinguish real protein structures from computationally generated model decoys is not yet a solved problem. One route to distinguish real protein structures from decoys is to delineate the important physical features that specify a real protein. For example, it has long been appreciated that the hydrophobic cores of proteins contribute signifficantly to their stability. As a dataset of decoys to compare with real protein structures, we studied submissions to the bi-annual CASP competition (speciffically CASP11, 12, and 13), in which researchers attempt to predict the structure of a protein only knowing its amino acid sequence. Our analysis reveals that many of the submissions possess cores that do not recapitulate the features that define real proteins. In particular, the model structures appear more densely packed (because of energetically unfavorable atomic overlaps), contain too few residues in the core, and have improper distributions of hydrophobic residues throughout the structure. Based on these observations, we developed a deep learning method, which incorporates key physical features of protein cores, to predict how well a computational model recapitulates the real protein structure without knowledge of the structure of the target sequence. By identifying the important features of protein structure, our method is able to rank decoys from the CASP competitions equally well, if not better than, state-of-the-art methods that incorporate many additional features.

Chromatin is a polymer complex of DNA and proteins that regulates gene expression. The three-dimensional (3D) structure and organization of chromatin controls DNA transcription and replication. High-throughput chromatin conformation capture techniques generate Hi-C maps that can provide insight into the 3D structure of chromatin. Hi-C maps can be represented as a symmetric matrix Aij, where each element represents the average contact probability or number of contacts between chromatin loci i and j. Previous studies have detected topologically associating domains (TADs), or self-interacting regions in Aij within which the contact probability is greater than that outside the region. Many algorithms have been developed to identify TADs within Hi-C maps. However, most TAD identification algorithms are unable to identify nested or overlapping TADs and for a given Hi-C map there is significant variation in the location and number of TADs identified by different methods. We develop a novel method to identify TADs, KerTAD, using a kernel-based technique from computer vision and image processing that is able to accurately identify nested and overlapping TADs. We benchmark this method against state-of-the-art TAD identification methods on both synthetic and experimental data sets. We find that the new method consistently has higher true positive rates (TPR) and lower false discovery rates (FDR) than all tested methods for both synthetic and manually annotated experimental Hi-C maps. The TPR for KerTAD is also largely insensitive to increasing noise and sparsity, in contrast to the other methods. We also find that KerTAD is consistent in the number and size of TADs identified across replicate experimental Hi-C maps for several organisms. Thus, KerTAD will improve automated TAD identification and enable researchers to better correlate changes in TADs to biological phenomena, such as enhancer-promoter interactions and disease states. © 2023, CC BY.

Characterizing the mechanical response of metallic glasses to uniaxial tension using a spring network model

Metallic glasses are frequently used as structural materials. Therefore, it is important to develop methods to predict their mechanical response as a function of the microstructure prior to loading. We develop a novel coarse-grained spring network model, which describes the mechanical response of metallic glasses using an equivalent series network of springs, which can break and re-form to mimic atomic rearrangements during deformation. To validate the spring network model, we perform numerical simulations of quasistatic, uniaxial tensile deformation of Lennard-Jones and embedded atom method (EAM) potentials for Cu50Zr50 metallic glasses in the absence of large-scale shear band formation. We consider samples prepared using a wide range of cooling rates and with different amounts of crystalline order. We show that both the Lennard-Jones and EAM models possess qualitatively similar stress σ versus strain γ curves. By specifying five parameters in the spring network model (ultimate strength, strain at ultimate strength, slopes of σ(γ) at γ = 0 and at large strain, and strain at fracture where σ = 0), we can accurately describe the form of the stress-strain curves during uniaxial tension for the computational studies of Cu50Zr50, as well as recent experimental studies of several Zr-based metallic glasses. For the computational studies of Cu50Zr50, we find that the yield strain distribution is shifted to larger strains for slowly cooled glasses compared to rapidly cooled glasses. In addition, the average number of new springs and their rate of formation decreases with decreasing cooling rate. These effects offset each other at large strains, causing the stress-strain curve to become independent of the sample preparation protocol in this regime. In future studies, we will extract the parameters that define the spring network model directly from atomic rearrangements that occur during uniaxial deformation. © 2023, CC BY-NC-ND.

Worldwide outbreaks of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) are caused by enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16). Since no anti-HFMD drugs are currently available, it is interesting to study potential viral inhibitors. Rupintrivir is a rhinovirus 3C protease (3Cpro) inhibitor with apparent inhibitory activity against HFMD. This study constructs pharmacophore models of the EV-A71 and CV-A16 3Cpro complexed with rupintrivir using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Both models had similar pharmacophore features, including hydrogen bond donors and acceptors and hydrophobic interactions. These pharmacophore models were then used as a template to screen 39 flavonoid compounds as potential novel inhibitors. Diosmin, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), and RTH-011 showed high binding affinities for EV-A71 and CV-A16 3Cpro. They formed hydrogen bonds with important surrounding residues in both proteins, including H40, L127, T142, A144, T145, H161, I162, G163, and G164. In addition, their effective concentrations against rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cell infection by EV-A71 and CV-A16 were determined. EGCG had the highest half maximal effective concentration (EC50) of 12.86 ± 1.30 µM for EV-A71 and 15.54 ± 1.50 µM for CV-A16, while diosmin had EC50 of 21.01±1.57 µM for EV-A71 and 30.68 ± 3.25 µM for CV-A16. Both compounds were non-toxic in RD cells, with 50% cytotoxic concentrations of >100 µM for EGCG and >500 µM for diosmin. In addition, MD simulation analysis showed that EGCG had a higher binding affinity than diosmin, supported by its significantly lower solvated binding free energies and greater numbers of contact atoms and key binding residues. Moreover, previous studies reported EGCG’s inhibitory effect on other viruses, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Therefore, our findings suggest that EGCG can effectively inhibit the EV-A71 and CV-A16 3Cpro. © 2023, The Authors. All rights reserved.

Background: Metal oxide nanomaterials are increasingly being exploited in cancer therapy thanks to their unique properties, which can enhance the efficacy of current cancer therapies. However, the nanotoxicity and mechanism of Ti0.8O2 nanosheets for specific site-targeting strategies in NSCLC have not yet been investigated. Methods: The effects of Ti0.8O2 nanosheets on cytotoxicity in NSCLC cells and normal cells were examined. The apoptosis characteristics, including condensed and fragmented nuclei, as assessed by positive staining with annexin V. The cellular uptake of the nanosheets and the induction of stress fiber were assessed via transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses, respectively. We also evaluated the expression of protein in death mechanism to identify the molecular mechanisms behind the toxicity of these cells. We investigated the relationship between S-nitrosylation and the increase in p53 stability by molecular dynamics. Results: Ti0.8O2 nanosheets caused cytotoxicity in several lung cancer cells, but not in normal cells. The nanosheets could enter lung cancer cells and exert an apoptosis induction. Results for protein analysis further indicated the activation of p53, increased Bax, decreased Bcl-2 and Mcl-1, and activation of caspase-3. The nanosheets also exhibited a substantial apoptosis effect in drug-resistant metastatic primary lung cancer cells, and it was found that the potency of the nanosheets was dramatically higher than that of cisplatin and etoposide. In terms of their mechanism of action, we found that the mode of apoptosis induction was through the generation of cellular ONOO− mediated the S-nitrosylation of p53 at C182. Molecular dynamics analysis further showed that the S-nitrosylation of one C182 stabilized the p53 dimer. Consequently, this nitrosylation of the protein led to an upregulation of p53 through its stabilization. Conclusions: Taking all the evidence together, we provided info
