Breaking the Coupled Cluster Barrier for Machine-Learned Potentials of Large Molecules: The Case of 15-Atom Acetylacetone.

ABSTRACT: Machine-learned potential energy surfaces (PESs) for molecules with more than 10 atoms are typically forced to use lower-level electronic structure methods such as density functional theory (DFT) and second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2). While these are efficient and realistic, they fall short of the accuracy of the "gold standard" coupled-cluster method, especially with respect to reaction and isomerization barriers. We report a major step forward in applying a Δ-machine learning method to the challenging case of acetylacetone, whose MP2 barrier height for H-atom transfer is low by roughly 1.1 kcal/mol relative to the benchmark CCSD(T) barrier of 3.2 kcal/mol. From a database of 2151 local CCSD(T) energies and training with as few as 430 energies, we obtain a new PES with a barrier of 3.5 kcal/mol in agreement with the LCCSD(T) barrier of 3.5 kcal/mol and close to the benchmark value. Tunneling splittings due to H-atom transfer are calculated using this new PES, providing improved estimates over previous ones obtained using an MP2-based PES.

Halide-induced Step Faceting and Dissolution Energetics from Atomistic Machine Learned Potentials on Cu(100).

Project description:Adsorbates impact the surface stability and reactivity of metallic electrodes, affecting the corrosion, dissolution, and deposition behavior. Here, we use density functional theory (DFT) and DFT-based Behler-Parrinello neural networks (BPNN) to investigate the geometries, surface formation energies, and atom removal energies of stepped and kinked surfaces vicinal to Cu(100) with a c(2×2) Cl adlayer. DFT calculations indicate that the stable structures for the adsorbate-free vicinal surfaces favor steps with <110> orientation, while the addition of the c(2×2) Cl adlayer leads to <100> step facets, in agreement with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) observations. The BPNN calculations produce energies in good agreement with DFT results (root mean square error of 1.3 meV/atom for a randomly chosen set of structures excluded from the training set). We draw three conclusions from the BPNN calculations. First, Cl on the upper <100> step edges occupies the three fold hollow sites (as opposed to the four-fold sites on the terraces), congruent with deviations of the STM height profile for the adsorbate at the upper step edge. Second, disruptions in the continuity of the halide overlayer at the steps result in significant long-range step-step interactions. Third, anisotropic metal dissolution and deposition energetics arise from phase shifts of the c(2×2) adlayer at orthogonal <100> steps. This DFT-BPNN approach offers an effective strategy for tackling large-scale surface structure challenges with atomic-level accuracy.

Stem cells and reprogramming: breaking the epigenetic barrier?

Project description:Increasing evidence suggests that epigenetic regulation is key to the maintenance of the stem cell state. Chromatin is the physiological form of eukaryotic genomes and the substrate for epigenetic marking, including DNA methylation, post-translational modifications of histones and the exchange of core histones with histone variants. The chromatin template undergoes significant reorganization during embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation and somatic cell reprogramming (SCR). Intriguingly, remodeling of the epigenome appears to be a crucial barrier that must be surmounted for efficient SCR. This area of research has gained significant attention due to the importance of ESCs in modeling and treating human disease. Here we review the epigenetic mechanisms that are key for maintenance of the ESC state, ESC differentiation and SCR. We focus on murine and human ESCs and induced pluripotent stem cells, and highlight the pharmacological approaches used to study or manipulate cell fate where relevant.

Learned protein embeddings for machine learning.

Project description:MotivationMachine-learning models trained on protein sequences and their measured functions can infer biological properties of unseen sequences without requiring an understanding of the underlying physical or biological mechanisms. Such models enable the prediction and discovery of sequences with optimal properties. Machine-learning models generally require that their inputs be vectors, and the conversion from a protein sequence to a vector representation affects the model's ability to learn. We propose to learn embedded representations of protein sequences that take advantage of the vast quantity of unmeasured protein sequence data available. These embeddings are low-dimensional and can greatly simplify downstream modeling.ResultsThe predictive power of Gaussian process models trained using embeddings is comparable to those trained on existing representations, which suggests that embeddings enable accurate predictions despite having orders of magnitude fewer dimensions. Moreover, embeddings are simpler to obtain because they do not require alignments, structural data, or selection of informative amino-acid properties. Visualizing the embedding vectors shows meaningful relationships between the embedded proteins are captured.Availability and implementationThe embedding vectors and code to reproduce the results are available at https://github.com/fhalab/embeddings_reproduction/.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Preventing dataset shift from breaking machine-learning biomarkers.

Project description:Machine learning brings the hope of finding new biomarkers extracted from cohorts with rich biomedical measurements. A good biomarker is one that gives reliable detection of the corresponding condition. However, biomarkers are often extracted from a cohort that differs from the target population. Such a mismatch, known as a dataset shift, can undermine the application of the biomarker to new individuals. Dataset shifts are frequent in biomedical research, e.g., because of recruitment biases. When a dataset shift occurs, standard machine-learning techniques do not suffice to extract and validate biomarkers. This article provides an overview of when and how dataset shifts break machine-learning-extracted biomarkers, as well as detection and correction strategies.

Quantitative imaging of electric surface potentials with single-atom sensitivity.

Project description:Because materials consist of positive nuclei and negative electrons, electric potentials are omnipresent at the atomic scale. However, due to the long range of the Coulomb interaction, large-scale structures completely outshine small ones. This makes the isolation and quantification of the electric potentials that originate from nanoscale objects such as atoms or molecules very challenging. Here we report a non-contact scanning probe technique that addresses this challenge. It exploits a quantum dot sensor and the joint electrostatic screening by tip and surface, thus enabling quantitative surface potential imaging across all relevant length scales down to single atoms. We apply the technique to the characterization of a nanostructured surface, thereby extracting workfunction changes and dipole moments for important reference systems. This authenticates the method as a versatile tool to study the building blocks of materials and devices down to the atomic scale.

Breaking the diffraction barrier: super-resolution imaging of cells.

Project description:Anyone who has used a light microscope has wished that its resolution could be a little better. Now, after centuries of gradual improvements, fluorescence microscopy has made a quantum leap in its resolving power due, in large part, to advancements over the past several years in a new area of research called super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. In this Primer, we explain the principles of various super-resolution approaches, such as STED, (S)SIM, and STORM/(F)PALM. Then, we describe recent applications of super-resolution microscopy in cells, which demonstrate how these approaches are beginning to provide new insights into cell biology, microbiology, and neurobiology.

Breaking the diffraction barrier using fluorescence emission difference microscopy.

Project description:We propose a novel physical mechanism for breaking the diffraction barrier in the far field. Termed fluorescence emission difference microscopy (FED), our approach is based on the intensity difference between two differently acquired images. When fluorescence saturation is applied, the resolving ability of FED can be further enhanced. A detailed theoretical analysis and a series of simulation tests are performed. The validity of FED in practical use is demonstrated by experiments on fluorescent nanoparticles and biological cells in which a spatial resolution of <λ/4 is achieved. Featuring the potential to realize a high imaging speed, this approach may be widely applied in nanoscale investigations.

Breaking tolerance with engineered class I antigen-presenting molecules.

Project description:Successful efforts to activate T cells capable of recognizing weak cancer-associated self-antigens have employed altered peptide antigens to activate T cell responses capable of cross-reacting on native tumor-associated self. A limitation of this approach is the requirement for detailed knowledge about the altered self-peptide ligands used in these vaccines. In the current study we considered allorecognition as an approach for activating CTL capable of recognizing weak or self-antigens in the context of self-MHC. Nonself antigen-presenting molecules typically contain polymorphisms that influence interactions with the bound peptide and TCR interface. Recognition of these nonself structures results in peptide-dependent alloimmunity. Alloreactive T cells target their inducing alloantigens as well as third-party alloantigens but generally fail to target self-antigens. Certain residues located on the alpha-1/2 domains of class I antigen-presenting molecules primarily interface with TCR. These residues are more conserved within and across species than are residues that determine peptide antigen binding properties. Class I variants designed with amino acid substitutions at key positions within the conserved helical structures are shown to provide strong activating signals to alloreactive CD8 T cells while avoiding changes in naturally bound peptide ligands. Importantly, CTL activated in this manner can break self-tolerance by reacting to self-peptides presented by native MHC. The ability to activate self-tolerant T cells capable of cross-reacting on self-peptide-MHC in vivo represents an approach for inducing autoimmunity, with possible application in cancer vaccines.

Parity-Time Symmetry Breaking in Coupled Nanobeam Cavities.

Project description:The concept of parity-time symmetry (PT symmetry) originates from the canonical quantum mechanics and has become a hot topic recently. As a versatile platform to investigate the intriguing concept, both theoretical and experimental works in optics have been implemented. In this paper, the PT symmetry breaking phenomenon is investigated in a coupled nanobeam cavity system. An exceptional point is observed during the tuning of the gain/loss level and the coupling strength of the closely placed nanobeam pair. Unidirectional light propagation is investigated, as well as enhanced sensitivity of single particle detection in the vicinity of the exceptional point. The proposed system is easy to be integrated with photonic integrated circuits and can be strongly coupled to optical waveguides.

Prospects for strongly coupled atom-photon quantum nodes.

Project description:We discuss the trapping of cold atoms within microscopic voids drilled perpendicularly through the axis of an optical waveguide. The dimensions of the voids considered are between 1 and 40 optical wavelengths. By simulating light transmission across the voids, we find that appropriate shaping of the voids can substantially reduce the associated loss of optical power. Our results demonstrate that the formation of an optical cavity around such a void could produce strong coupling between the atoms and the guided light. By bringing multiple atoms into a single void and exploiting collective enhancement, cooperativities ~400 or more should be achievable. The simulations are carried out using a finite difference time domain method. Methods for the production of such a void and the trapping of cold atoms within it are also discussed.
