We study the dynamics of semiflexible hyperbranched macromolecules having only dendritic units and no linear spacers, while the structure of these macromolecules is modeled through T-fractals. We construct a full set of eigenmodes of the dynamical matrix, which couples the set of Langevin equations. Based on the ensuing relaxation spectra, we analyze the mechanical relaxation moduli. The fractal character of the macromolecules reveals itself in the storage and loss moduli in the intermediate reg ...[more]

Project description:Active fluctuations, driven by processes that consume ATP, are prevalent in living cells and are mostly driven by different forms of molecular motors. Such motors often move and transmit forces along biopolymers, which in general can be treated as semiflexible chains. We present a theoretical analysis of the active (out of thermal equilibrium) fluctuation of semiflexible polymers, using both analytical and simulation methods. We find that enhanced diffusion, even superdiffusive, occurs in a well-defined temporal regime, defined by the thermal modes of the chain and the typical timescale of the activity. In addition, we find a dynamic resonance-like condition between the elastic modes of the chain and the duration of the active force, which leads to enhanced spatial correlation of local displacements. These results are in qualitative agreement with observations of cytoskeletal biopolymers, and were recently observed for the dynamics of chromatin in interphase cells. We therefore propose that the interplay between elasticity and activity is driving long-range correlations in our model system, and may also be manifest inside living cells.

Project description:One of the fundamental issues in polymer physics is to reveal the relation between the structures of macromolecules and their various properties. In this report, we study the dynamical properties of a family of deterministically growing semiflexible treelike polymer networks, which are built in an iterative method. From the analysis of the corresponding dynamical matrix we derive the solution for its eigenvalues and their multiplicities, making use of a combined numerical and analytical approach. The eigenvalue spectra allow us to investigate the mechanical relaxation forms in depth for different values of the stiffness parameter. We observe that the dynamics of semiflexible networks is sensitive to the stiffness parameter. Our work paves a way to explore the structures of the highly symmetric polymers and provides a comprehensive understanding of the role of semiflexibility for the regular treelike networks which possess a small-world feature.

Project description:We present the first neutron spin echo (NSE) measurements of self-assembling peptide hydrogel networks to study the fibril dynamics on the nanometer and nanosecond length and time scales. MAX1 and MAX8 are synthetic beta-hairpin peptides that undergo triggered self-assembly at the nanoscale to form a physically cross-linked network of fibrils with a defined cross-section. When subjected to physiological pH and ionic strength (pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl), the soluble peptides fold into a beta-hairpin and, subsequently, self-assemble to form a structurally rigid hydrogel stabilized by noncovalent cross-links. The sequence of MAX8 is identical to MAX1 with the exception of one single amino acid substitution that reduces the net charge on the peptide. As a result, faster folding and self-assembly kinetics are observed for MAX8 at the same peptide concentration and identical buffer conditions, and gels with a larger storage modulus are formed. NSE measurements of the peptide hydrogels demonstrate that the self-assembled peptide fibrils can be described as semiflexible chains on nanolength and time scales. Alteration of the peptide sequence affected the nanoscale dynamics of the hydrogels but not to an extent comparable to the large difference observed in the bulk viscoelasticity. Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) of the hydrogels reveals increased scattering for MAX8 at low wavevectors, an indication of a heterogeneous network with a tighter mesh size. Therefore, we conjecture that the difference in elastic modulus arises from differences in assembly kinetics that result in increased fibrillar branching and physical cross-links rather than a change in the fibril nanostructure or persistence length.

Project description:By employing molecular dynamics simulations, we explore the dynamics of NPs in semiflexible ring polymer nanocomposite melts. A novel glass transition is observed for NPs in semiflexible ring polymer melts as the bending energy (Kb) of ring polymers increases. For NPs in flexible ring polymer melts (Kb = 0), NPs move in the classic diffusive behavior. However, for NPs in semiflexible ring polymer melts with large bending energy, NPs diffuse very slowly and exhibit the glassy state in which the NPs are all irreversibly caged be the neighbouring semiflexible ring polymers. This glass transition occurs well above the classical glass transition temperature at which microscopic mobility is lost, and the topological interactions of semiflexible ring polymers play an important role in this non-classical glass transition. This investigation can help us understand the nature of the glass transition in polymer systems.

Project description:The role of pH-dependent protonation equilibrium in modulating RNA dynamics and function is one of the key unanswered questions in RNA biology. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations can provide insight into the mechanistic roles of protonated nucleotides, but it is only capable of modeling fixed protonation states and requires prior knowledge of the key residue's protonation state. Recently, we developed a framework for constant pH molecular dynamics simulations (CPHMD(MS?D)) of nucleic acids, where the nucleotides' protonation states are modeled as dynamic variables that are coupled to the structural dynamics of the RNA. In the present study, we demonstrate the application of CPHMD(MS?D) to the lead-dependent ribozyme; establishing the validity of this approach for modeling complex RNA structures. We show that CPHMD(MS?D) accurately predicts the direction of the pKa shifts and reproduces experimentally-measured microscopic pKa values with an average unsigned error of 1.3 pKa units. The effects of coupled titration states in RNA structures are modeled, and the importance of conformation sampling is highlighted. The general accuracy of CPHMD(MS?D) simulations in reproducing pH-dependent observables reported in this work demonstrates that constant pH simulations provides a powerful tool to investigate pH-dependent processes in nucleic acids.

Project description:Proteins and other macromolecules have coupled dynamics over multiple time scales (from femtosecond to millisecond and beyond) that make resolving molecular dynamics challenging. We present an approach based on periodically decomposing the dynamics of a macromolecule into slow and fast modes based on a scalable coarse-grained normal mode analysis. A Langevin equation is used to propagate the slowest degrees of freedom while minimizing the nearly instantaneous degrees of freedom. We present numerical results showing that time steps of up to 1000 fs can be used, with real speedups of up to 200 times over plain molecular dynamics. We present results of successfully folding the Fip35 mutant of WW domain.

Project description:Unraveling the packing structure of dense assemblies of semiflexible rings is not only fundamental for the dynamical description of polymer rings, but also key to understand biopackaging, such as observed in circular DNA of viruses or genome folding. Here we use X-ray tomography to study the geometrical and topological features of disordered packings of rubber bands in a cylindrical container. Assemblies of short bands assume a liquid-like disordered structure, with short-range orientational order, and reveal only minor influence of the container. In the case of longer bands, the confinement causes folded configurations and the bands interpenetrate and entangle. Most of the systems are found to display a threading network which percolates the system. Surprisingly, for long bands whose diameter is more than twice the diameter of the container, we found that all bands interpenetrate each other, in a complex fully entangled structure.

Project description:Polymer brushes are extensively used for the preparation of bioactive surfaces. They form a platform to attach functional (bio)molecules and control the physicochemical properties of the surface. These brushes are nearly exclusively prepared from flexible polymers, even though much stiffer brushes from semiflexible polymers are frequently found in nature, which exert bioactive functions that are out of reach for flexible brushes. Synthetic semiflexible polymers, however, are very rare. Here, we use polyisocyanopeptides (PICs) to prepare high-density semiflexible brushes on different substrate geometries. For bioconjugation, we developed routes with two orthogonal click reactions, based on the strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction and the (photoactivated) tetrazole-ene cycloaddition reaction. We found that for high brush densities, multiple bonds between the polymer and the substrate are necessary, which was achieved in a block copolymer strategy. Whether the desired biomolecules are conjugated to the PIC polymer before or after brush formation depends on the dimensions and required densities of the biomolecules and the curvature of the substrate. In either case, we provide mild, aqueous, and highly modular reaction strategies, which make PICs a versatile addition to the toolbox for generating semiflexible bioactive polymer brush surfaces.

Project description:Understanding ion relaxation dynamics in overlapping electric double layers (EDLs) is critical for the development of efficient nanotechnology-based electrochemical energy storage, electrochemomechanical energy conversion, and bioelectrochemical sensing devices as well as the controlled synthesis of nanostructured materials. Here, a lattice Boltzmann (LB) method is employed to simulate an electrolytic nanocapacitor subjected to a step potential at t = 0 for various degrees of EDL overlap, solvent viscosities, ratios of cation-to-anion diffusivity, and electrode separations. The use of a novel continuously varying and Galilean-invariant molecular-speed-dependent relaxation time (MSDRT) with the LB equation recovers a correct microscopic description of the molecular-collision phenomena and enhances the stability of the LB algorithm. Results for large EDL overlaps indicated oscillatory behavior for the ionic current density, in contrast to monotonic relaxation to equilibrium for low EDL overlaps. Further, at low solvent viscosities and large EDL overlaps, anomalous plasmalike spatial oscillations of the electric field were observed that appeared to be purely an effect of nanoscale confinement. Employing MSDRT in our simulations enabled modeling of the fundamental physics of the transient charge relaxation dynamics in electrochemical systems operating away from equilibrium wherein Nernst-Einstein relation is known to be violated.

Project description:The ever decreasing area of forests has lead to environmental and economical challenges and has brought with it a renewed interest in developing methodologies that quantify the extent of deforestation and reforestation. In this study we analyzed the deforested areas of the Apuseni Mountains, which has been under economic pressure in recent years and resulted in widespread deforestation as a means of income. Deforested surface dynamics modeling was based on images contained in the Global Forest Database, provided by the Department of Geographical Sciences at Maryland University between 2000 and 2014. The results of the image particle analysis and modelling were based on Total Area (ha), Count of patches and Average Size whereas deforested area distribution was based on the Local Connected Fractal Dimension, Fractal Fragmentation Index and Tug-of-War Lacunarity as indicators of forest fragmentation or heterogeneity. The major findings of the study indicated a reduction of the tree cover area by 3.8%, an increase in fragmentation of 17.7% and an increase in heterogeneity by 29%, while fractal connectivity decreased only by 0.1%. The fractal and particle analysis showed a clustering of forest loss areas with an average increase from 1.1 to 3.0?ha per loss site per year. In conclusion, the fractal and particle analysis provide a relevant methodological framework to further our understanding of the spatial effects of economic pressure on forestry.
