Model-based interpretation of floor vibrations for indoor occupant tracking

Ian Smith, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland, Slah Drira

Information regarding occupant flows inside buildings is beneficial for applications such as thermal-load control, market research and security enhancement. Existing methodologies for occupant tracking involve data-driven techniques that rely either on rad ...

A new kind of atlas of zeolite building blocks

Michele Ceriotti, Benjamin Aaron Helfrecht, Rocio Semino Barbaresi, Giovanni Pireddu

We have analyzed structural motifs in the Deem database of hypothetical zeolites to investigate whether the structural diversity found in this database can be well-represented by classical descriptors, such as distances, angles, and ring sizes, or whether ...

On the comparison between differential vibrational spectroscopy spectra and theoretical data in the carboxyl region of photosystem II

Daniele Narzi, Leonardo Guidoni

Understanding the structural modification experienced by the Mn4CaO5 oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II along the Kok-Joliot's cycle has been a challenge for both theory and experiments since many decades. In particular, differential infrared spectr ...

Spatiotemporal Imaging of Water in Operating Voltage-Gated Ion Channels Reveals the Slow Motion of Interfacial Ions

Sylvie Roke, Aleksandra Radenovic, Orly Bagunu Tarun, Maksim Eremchev

Ion channels are responsible for numerous physiological functions ranging from transport to chemical and electrical signaling. Although static ion channel structure has been studied following a structural biology approach, spatiotemporal investigation of t ...

Constrained optimization applied to multiscale integrative modeling

Giorgio Elikem Tamo

Multiscale integrative modeling stands at the intersection between experimental and computational techniques to predict the atomistic structures of important macromolecules. In the integrative modeling process, the experimental information is often integra ...

Multicolor single-particle reconstruction of protein complexes

Pierre Gönczy, Suliana Manley, Kyle Michael Douglass, Christian Sieben, Niccolo Banterle

Single-particle reconstruction (SPR) from electron microscopy (EM) images is widely used in structural biology, but it lacks direct information on protein identity. To address this limitation, we developed a computational and analytical framework that reco ...

An Automatic, Data-Driven Definition of Atomic-Scale Structural Motifs

Piero Gasparotto

Structure-property relationships at the atomic scale are usually understood in terms of recurrent structural motifs formed by atoms and molecules, and how they transform and interact with each other. We introduce with this thesis a novel analysis approach, ...

Large-Scale Computational Screening of Molecular Organic Semiconductors Using Crystal Structure Prediction

Michele Ceriotti, Sandip De

Predictive computational methods have the potential to significantly accelerate the discovery of new materials with targeted properties by guiding the choice of candidate materials for synthesis. Recently, a planar pyrrole-based azaphenacene molecule (pyri ...

CnoX Is a Chaperedoxin: A Holdase that Protects Its Substrates from Irreversible Oxidation

Camille Véronique Bernadette Goemans

Bleach (HOCl) is a powerful oxidant that kills bacteria in part by causing protein aggregation. It inactivates ATP-dependent chaperones, rendering cellular proteins mostly dependent on holdases. Here we identified Escherichia coli CnoX (YbbN) as a folding ...

Flexoelectricity in Bones

Dragan Damjanovic

Bones generate electricity under pressure, and this electromechanical behavior is thought to be essential for bone’s self-repair and remodeling properties. The origin of this response is attributed to the piezoelectricity of collagen, which is the main str ...
