X-ray crystallographic and hydrogen deuterium exchange studies confirm alternate kinetic models for homolog insulin monomers

Despite the crucial role of various insulin analogs in achieving satisfactory glycemic control, a comprehensive understanding of their in-solution dynamic mechanisms still holds the potential to further optimize rapid insulin analogs, thus significantly improving the well-being of individuals with Type 1 Diabetes. Here, we employed hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry to decipher the molecular dynamics of newly modified and functional insulin analog. A comparative analysis of H/D dynamics demonstrated that the modified insulin exchanges deuterium atoms faster and more extensively than the intact insulin aspart. Additionally, we present new insights derived from our 2.5 Å resolution X-ray crystal structure of modified hexamer insulin analog at ambient temperature. Furthermore, we obtained a distinctive side-chain conformation of the Asn3 residue on the B chain (AsnB3) by operating a comparative analysis with a previously available cryogenic rapid-acting insulin structure (PDB_ID: 4GBN). The experimental conclusions have demonstrated compatibility with modified insulin’s distinct cellular activity, comparably to aspart. Additionally, the hybrid structural approach combined with computational analysis employed in this study provides novel insight into the structural dynamics of newly modified and functional insulin vs insulin aspart monomeric entities. It allows further molecular understanding of intermolecular interrelations driving dissociation kinetics and, therefore, a fast action mechanism.

Association Kinetics for Perfluorinated n -Alkyl Radicals

Radical-radical reaction channels are important in the pyrolysis and oxidation chemistry of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). In particular, unimolecular dissociation reactions within unbranched n-perfluoroalkyl chains, and their corresponding reverse barrierless association reactions, are expected to be significant contributors to the gas-phase thermal decomposition of families of species such as perfluorinated carboxylic acids and perfluorinated sulfonic acids. Unfortunately, experimental data for these reactions are scarce and uncertain. Furthermore, obtaining reliable theoretical predictions for such reactions is a laborious and computationally intensive task. Here, in this work, the chemical kinetics of the various association/decomposition reactions producing/decomposing the C 2 -C 4 series of unbranched n-perfluoroalkanes (C 2 F 6 , C 3 F 8 , and C 4 F 10 ) are examined using state-of-the-art ab initio transition-state-theory-based master-equation calculations. The variable-reaction-coordinate transition-state theory (VRC-TST) formalism is employed in computing the microcanonical and canonical rates for the association reactions. Reaction thermochemistry is obtained via composite quantum chemistry calculations and the laddering of error-canceling reaction schemes via a connectivity-based hierarchy approach employing ANL1/ANL0-style reference energies. Lennard-Jones collision model parameters for the considered systems were estimated by a direct dynamics approach, and collisional energy transfer parameters were obtained from analogies to systems of similar size and heavy-atom connectivity. A one-dimensional master equation approach was used to convert the microcanonical rate coefficients from the VRC-TST analysis into temperature- and pressure-dependent rate constants for the association reactions and the reverse dissociation reactions. The data are reported in standardized formats for usage in comprehensive chemical kinetic models for PFAS thermal destruction.

Toward Hydrogen Isotope Separations through Strong Hydrogen Adsorption at Open Copper(I) Sites in an Ultramicroporous Metal-Organic Framework

Metal-organic frameworks with coordinatively unsaturated metal sites (open metal sites) capable of engaging in orbital interactions with pi-acidic gases are of interest for enabling ambient-temperature gas separations, such as hydrogen isotope separations. In view of the weakly pi-acidic nature of H2, we sought to strengthen pi-backbonding-mediated H2 adsorption through pore confinement effects. Toward that end, we synthesized and characterized the ultramicroporous metal-organic framework CuxZn5-xCl4-yHz(bbta)3 (CuIZn-MFU-4; H2bbta = 1H,5H-benzo(1,2-d:4,5-d')bistriazole), featuring pi-basic trigonal pyramidal CuI sites that reside within 7 A of one another at their closest. Gas adsorption measurements reveal an H2 adsorption enthalpy of -38 kJ/mol, exceeding that of the larger-pore analog (CuIZn-MFU-4l; -33 kJ/mol) and representing the strongest H2 adsorption yet achieved in a metal-organic framework. The stronger H2 adsorption in CuIZn-MFU-4 is attributed to a combination of pore confinement effects and the increased ..sigma..-accepting nature of the CuI sites caused by a more electron-withdrawing bbta2- linker, as supported by structural, spectroscopic, and computational evidence. With the strongest H2 adsorption, equilibrium isotope effects in CuIZn-MFU-4 lead to a D2/H2 selectivity (as estimated by ideal adsorbed solution theory) of 1.35 even at 298 K, approaching the values reported below 200 K for conventional porous materials.

Experiments to validate Thermodynamics and Transport models of Strongly Coupled Dusty Plasma Matter (Final Technical Report for DE-SC0023416)

The goal of this two-year grant is to provide access to the PI to dusty plasma experimental facilities at the DOE-funded Collaborative Research Facility Magnetized Plasma Research Laboratory, Auburn University to become a user of that facility, to obtain experimental data to support another ongoing grant DE-SC0021146 (an Early Career Award to the PI that is focused on modeling of dusty plasma thermodynamics and transport processes), to generate experimental data for funding proposals, and to provide exposure to University of Memphis students to advanced experimental techniques. The following technical accomplishments were made: 1. Development of a novel Bidirectional Electrode Control Arms Assembly (BECAA) for producing perfect 2D grain layers for complex plasma experimentation. BECAA uses movable electrode arms to tilt or move the electrode in a RF discharge from outside the chamber, allowing for the manipulation of grain clouds without needing to change the plasma parameters or gas pressure. This work addresses a longstanding gap in the literature for a method to produce clusters of selectable number of grains and that are perfectly two dimensional as opposed to being only quasi-2D. 2. Experimental investigation of the structural properties of finite-N clusters with N=2 to 50. Individual particle behavior in clusters could vary from grain to grain and this study measured systematically produced clusters for two different grain sizes. Analysis (funded by another grant DE-SC0021146) is currently underway to quantify the differences between grains that are found on the surface vs. the interior of clusters, the shell structure, and the decay of correlations in position, velocity, and kinetic energy. 3. An experimental method to measure the structural entropy of clusters was developed by observing the self-induced structural transitions between various possible arrangements. In a series of heating and cooling cycles, the number of times each possible arrangement was attained was experimentally observed and used to compute the probability of existence of that arrangement, and subsequently the configurational entropy of the cluster. Analysis (funded by another grant DE-SC0021146) is currently underway to produce the entropy of clusters as a function of the number of grains and use the same to compute thermodynamic state variables for 2D complex plasma/grain clusters. 4. A preliminary experimental study of multibody collisions between N grains (N=2 – 10) was conducted. The clusters were produced using the BECAA technique and velocities were imparted to the grains using manipulation laser pulses. Analysis (funded by another grant DE-SC0021146) is currently underway to develop a theoretical framework to describe multibody collisions analogous to classical two-body interactions.

Combining Reactive Quantum-Mechanical Molecular-Dynamics Simulations with Mutagenesis, Crystallography, and Enzyme Kinetics to Reveal Plausible Steps of Isocyanide Hydratase Catalysis

A complete understanding of enzyme mechanisms requires atomistic details of chemical reactions. Quantum-based molecular dynamics simulations (QMD) are a potential source of this information, but trade-offs between accuracy and computational cost have limited their use. We previously developed extended Lagrangian Born–Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (XL-BOMD) methods that leverage a negligible compromise in accuracy to substantially decrease the cost of QMD simulations. Here, we develop a reactive QMD approach using the latest XL-BOMD formulation, which enables efficient simulations of highly reactive systems, and use it to investigate mechanisms of intermediate formation in isocyanide hydratase (ICH) catalysis. In QMD simulations, molecular analogs of ICH active site residues reacted with para-nitrophenyl isocyanide, forming a thioimidate. Analysis of simulated atomic configurational and charge dynamics revealed a pathway where protonation of the isocyanide carbon occurs prior to thioimidate formation and suggested a possible role of Asp17 as a proton donor in the early phase of ICH catalysis. To test whether the pathway seen using the reactive QMD approach might be relevant to ICH catalysis, we performed X-ray crystallography and pre-steady-state enzyme kinetics studies of wild-type and D17N mutant ICH. Both the structure and kinetics are sensitive to the D17N mutation in a manner that is consistent with the order of the reaction steps seen in the simulations. Mobile protons play essential roles in many enzymes, yet they are difficult to observe experimentally, making the ordering of proton-dependent steps ambiguous in many enzyme mechanisms. The ability to directly simulate model reactions for the design of experiments that provide information about enzyme mechanisms involving mobile protons demonstrates the significance of our reactive QMD approach and motivates further biological applications.

A technical analog of the cosmological constant problem and a solution thereof

The near vanishing of the cosmological constant is one of the most puzzling open problems in theoretical physics. We consider a system, the so-called framid, that features a technically similar problem. Its stress-energy tensor has a Lorentz-invariant expectation value on the ground state, yet there are no standard, symmetry-based selection rules enforcing this, since the ground state spontaneously breaks boosts. We verify the Lorentz invariance of the expectation value in question with explicit one-loop computations. These, however, yield the expected result only thanks to highly nontrivial cancellations, which are quite mysterious from the low-energy effective theory viewpoint.

The inflationary wavefunction from analyticity and factorization

Here, we study the analytic properties of tree-level wavefunction coefficients in quasi-de Sitter space. We focus on theories which spontaneously break dS boost symmetries and can produce significant non-Gaussianities. The corresponding inflationary correlators are (approximately) scale invariant, but are not invariant under the full conformal group. We derive cutting rules and dispersion formulas for the late-time wavefunction coefficients by using factorization and analyticity properties of the dS bulk-to-bulk propagator. This gives a unitarity method which is valid at tree-level for general n-point functions and for fields of arbitrary mass. Using the cutting rules and dispersion formulas, we are able to compute n-point functions by gluing together lower-point functions. As an application, we study general four-point, scalar exchange diagrams in the EFT of inflation. We show that exchange diagrams constructed from boost-breaking interactions can be written as a finite sum over residues. Finally, we explain how the dS identities used in this work are related by analytic continuation to analogous identities in Anti-de Sitter space.

Ancilla-entangling Floquet kicks for accelerating quantum algorithms

Quantum simulation with adiabatic annealing can provide insight into difficult problems that are impossible to study with classical computers. However, it deteriorates when the systems scale up due to the shrinkage of the excitation gap and thus places an annealing rate bottleneck for high success probability. Here, in this study, we accelerate quantum simulation using digital multiqubit gates that entangle primary system qubits with ancillary qubits. The practical benefits originate from tuning the ancillary gauge degrees of freedom to enhance the quantum algorithm's original functionality in the system registry. For simple but nontrivial short-ranged, infinite long-ranged transverse-field Ising models, and the hydrogen molecule model after qubit encoding, we show improvement in the time to solution by one hundred percent but with higher accuracy through exact state-vector numerical simulation in a digital-analog setting. The findings are further supported by time-averaged Hamiltonian theory.

UnigeneFinder: An Automated Pipeline for Gene Calling From Transcriptome Assemblies Without a Reference Genome

ABSTRACT For most species, transcriptome data are much more readily available than genome data. Without a reference genome, gene calling is cumbersome and inaccurate because of the high degree of redundancy in de novo transcriptome assemblies. To simplify and increase the accuracy of de novo transcriptome assembly in the absence of a reference genome, we developed UnigeneFinder. Combining several clustering methods, UnigeneFinder substantially reduces the redundancy typical of raw transcriptome assemblies. This pipeline offers an effective solution to the problem of inflated transcript numbers, achieving a closer representation of the actual underlying genome. UnigeneFinder performs comparably or better, compared with existing tools, on plant species with varying genome complexities. UnigeneFinder is the only available transcriptome redundancy solution that fully automates the generation of primary transcript, coding region, and protein sequences, analogous to those available for high‐quality reference genomes. These features, coupled with the pipeline’s cross‐platform implementation, focus on automation, and an accessible, user‐friendly interface, make UnigeneFinder a useful tool for many downstream sequence‐based analyses in nonmodel organisms lacking a reference genome, including differential gene expression analysis, accurate ortholog identification, functional enrichments, and evolutionary analyses. UnigeneFinder also runs efficiently both on high‐performance computing (HPC) systems and personal computers, further reducing barriers to use.

Impact of resonant magnetic perturbations on zonal flows and microturbulence

Results from a joint experimental and computational effort studying the effect of resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) on microturbulence levels and their connection to zonal flows in the DIII-D tokamak L-mode are presented. Beam emission spectroscopy measurements show a direct increase in density fluctuations at microturbulent scales with increasing RMP amplitude, suggesting that magnetic activity introduced by the RMP affects the regulation of microturbulence on DIII-D. This is analogous to how MHD-scale magnetic fluctuations arising from tearing modes have been observed in simulations to increase microturbulence levels in the reversed-field pinch (RFP). In the RFP, this is attributed to magnetic fluctuations eroding turbulence-limiting zonal flows; this work examines if a similar mechanism is present for DIII-D microturbulence. Gyrokinetic simulations find that the application of an RMP corresponds directly to a decrease in zonal flow levels, producing a similar increase of turbulent fluctuation levels over a range of RMP amplitudes as observed in the experiment.

Code conversion with the quantum Golay code for a universal transversal gate set

The [[7,1,3]] Steane code and [[23,1,7]] quantum Golay code have been identified as good candidates for fault-tolerant quantum computing via code concatenation. These two codes have transversal implementations of all Clifford gates but require some other scheme for fault-tolerant T gates. Using magic states, Clifford operations, and measurements is one common scheme, but magic-state distillation can have a large overhead. Code conversion is one avenue for implementing a universal gate set fault tolerantly without the use of magic-state distillation. Analogously to how the [[7,1,3]] Steane code can be fault tolerantly converted to and from the [[15,1,3]] Reed-Muller code which has a transversal T gate, the [[23,1,7]] Golay code can be converted to a [[95,1,7]] triorthogonal code with a transversal T gate. Further, a crucial ingredient of this procedure is the [[49,1,5]] triorthogonal code, which can itself be seen as being related to the self-dual [[17,1,5]] two-dimensional color code. Additionally, a method for code conversion based on a transversal CNOT between the codes, rather than stabilizer measurements, is described.

Deciphering the Mechanism of Base-Triggered Conversion of Ammonia to Molecular Nitrogen and Methylamine to Cyanide

Here we report an in-depth investigation into the ammonia oxidation mechanism by the catalyst [Ru III (tpy)(dmabpy)NH 3 ] 3 + ([Ru(NH 3 )] 3 + ). Stoichiometric reactions of [Ru(NH 3 )] 3 + were carried out with exogenous noncoordinating bases to trigger a proposed redox disproportionation reaction, which was followed using variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy. An intermediate species was identified as a dinitrogen-bridged complex using 15 N NMR and Raman spectroscopy on isotopically labeled complexes. This intermediate is proposed to derive from coupling of nitridyl species formed upon sequential redox disproportion reactions. Acetonitrile displaces the dinitrogen bridge to yield free N 2 . DFT calculations support this lower-energy pathway versus that previously reported for ammonia oxidation by the parent [Ru III (tpy)(bpy)NH 3 ] 3 + complex. These experimental and computational results are consistent with the interpretation of redox disproportionation involving sequential hydrogen atom transfer reactions by an amide/aminyl intermediate, [Ru(NH 2 ) – ] + $\Leftrightarrow$ [Ru(NH 2 ) • ] + , formed upon deprotonation of the parent complex. Control experiments employing a large excess of ammonia as a base indicate this new proposed lower-energy pathway contributes to the oxidation of ammonia to dinitrogen in conditions relevant to electrocatalysis. In addition, analogous methylamine complexes, [Ru(NH 2 CH 3 )] 2 + /3 + , were prepared to further test the proposed mechanism. Treating [Ru(NH 2 CH 3 )] 3 + with a base cleanly yields two products [Ru(NH 2 CH 3 )] 2 + and [Ru(CN)] + in an ~3:1 ratio, fully consistent with the proposed cascade of hydrogen atom transfer reactions by an intermediate.

Photoenzymatic Csp 3 –Csp 3 bond formation via enzyme-templated radical–radical coupling

Cross-couplings are essential reactions in modern chemical synthesis, enabling the rapid construction of complex molecules from simple precursors. Transition metal catalysts are prized for these transformations because their reactivity and selectivity can be tuned via judicious selection of the metal and ligand. Although enzymes offer analogous opportunities for tuning via protein engineering, their application to cross-coupling remains limited, as nature relies on alternative paradigms for building molecular complexity. Here, we report the cross-coupling of alkyl halides and benzylic carboxylic acids using an engineered flavin-dependent lactate monooxygenase—a photoenzyme. The enzyme achieves this feat by exploiting the redox versatility of the flavin cofactor. Stoichiometric experiments, ultrafast spectroscopy, and computational studies support a mechanism in which photoexcited flavin quinone initiates the reaction via oxidative decarboxylation to generate a benzylic radical. The resulting flavin semiquinone can reduce the alkyl halide to form a second organic radical within the protein active site, which rapidly engages in C(sp 3 )–C(sp 3 ) bond formation. A variant was engineered to control the stereochemical outcome of this radical–radical coupling event, highlighting the ability of the protein to alter the energetic barrier for a mechanistic step that is traditionally understood to be near barrierless. This work demonstrates that the scope for nonnative reaction mechanisms in biocatalysis far exceeds previously established bounds and has potential to solve a variety of reactivity challenges in cross-coupling chemistry.

Outdoor Test Bed Performance of a Power Line Sensor Using a Real-Time Event Simulator

This report summarizes the design and application of an outdoor power line sensor testbed (OPLST) with a real-time simulator and power meter to compare a potential transformer (PT) and current transformer (CT) versus an advanced line-post sensor. The OPLST was created to validate advanced medium-voltage (20/34.5 kV) outdoor power line sensors used in electrical distribution systems. Electrical utilities have installed metering and relay-protection transformers like PTs and CTs for several decades. The PTs/CTs are iron core measurement transformers based on the electromagnetic induction principle and provide reliable data in normal grid operation. However, new outdoor power line sensors (OPLS) using other technologies like voltage divider, Rogowski coil and optical principles have become available and may have favorable performance and costs compared to PTs/CTs. Therefore, the importance of testing these technologies with the PT/CT, to compare the measured phase voltage/current at different power grid scenarios is crucial to understand the performance of these new OPLS. For this study a G&W Electric Model CVS-36-O power line sensor was chosen as the OPLS to test with voltage/current signals. An OPAL-RT Technologies Model OP4510 real-time simulator and Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories Model SEL-735 power meter were installed with the 20/34.5 kV OPLST to compare the measured transient events collected from an advanced OPLS and the PT/CT. This system is installed at the Distributed Energy Communications and Control (DECC) lab, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The simulator generated different power grid scenarios (electrical faults, capacitor bank operation, service restoration, etc.), and its analog-output signals were connected to the voltage/current amplifiers that feed the 20/34.5 kV aerial cable loop through the PT/CT devices. Additional PT/CT devices were also wired with the medium voltage aerial cable loop to measure the phase current/voltage signals and server as references. After each test, common format for transient data exchange (COMTRADE) files were collected from the SEL-735 power meter and used to compare the performance of the OPLS with the PT/CT. The behavior of analog signals, harmonic components, total harmonic distortion and crest factors were assessed and found favorable for the G&W sensor as compared to the reference PT/CT.

A precision test of averaging in AdS/CFT

We reconsider the role of wormholes in the AdS/CFT correspondence. We focus on Euclidean wormholes that connect two asymptotically AdS or hyperbolic regions with $\mathbb{S}$ 1 × $\mathbb{S}$ d-1 boundary. There is no solution to Einstein’s equations of this sort, as the wormholes possess a modulus that runs to infinity. To find on-shell wormholes we must stabilize this modulus, which we can do by fixing the total energy on the two boundaries. Such a wormhole gives the saddle point approximation to a non-standard problem in quantum gravity, where we fix two asymptotic boundaries and constrain the common energy. Crucially the dual quantity does not factorize even when the bulk is dual to a single CFT, on account of the fixed energy constraint. From this quantity we extract a smeared version of the microcanonical spectral form factor. For a chaotic theory this quantity is self-averaging, i.e. well-approximated by averaging over energy windows, or over coupling constants. We go on to give a precision test involving the microcanonical spectral form factor where the two replicas have slightly different coupling constants. In chaotic theories this form factor is known to smoothly decay at a rate universally predicted in terms of one replica physics, provided that there is an average either over a window or over couplings. We compute the expected decay rate for holographic theories, and the form factor from a wormhole, and the two exactly agree for a wide range of two-derivative effective field theories in AdS. This gives a precision test of averaging in AdS/CFT. Our results interpret a number of confusing facts about wormholes and factorization in AdS and suggest that we should regard gravitational effective field theory as a mesoscopic description, analogous to semiclassical mesoscopic descriptions of quantum chaotic systems.

Effects of Dissolution Regimes on Flow Channelization and Solute Transport in 3D Fracture Networks: Insights From Graph‐Based Reactive Transport Modeling

We investigate how mineral dissolution reshapes flow pathways and solute transport in three‐dimensional discrete fracture networks using a computationally efficient graph‐based reactive transport model. The DFNs are inspired by field‐site observations of fractured carbonate and represent realistic connectivity and structural heterogeneity. Flow is simulated with the Reynolds equation, and dissolution follows first‐order kinetics with diffusive limitations captured through an effective mass‐transfer coefficient. By systematically varying two key dimensionless parameters, the effective Damköhler number (Da), governing reaction versus advection rates, and a transport parameter (Da), analogous to the Thiele modulus, distinct flow channelization regimes emerge: mildly channelized at low G, highly channelized at intermediate Da, and extreme wormhole formation at high Da and low G. Eulerian and Lagrangian analyses, including breakthrough curves, particle tortuosity, dispersivity, and flow channeling indicators quantitatively characterize the progression of dissolution‐driven network restructuring. Across all regimes, initial fracture heterogeneity persists. The results underscore how the interplay between this initial structure, advection, reaction, and diffusion critically shapes subsurface flow pathways, with implications for applications ranging from groundwater remediation to enhanced geothermal systems.

Electron Beam Irradiation for Water Treatment of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widely used but are now considered a water contamination risk. Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory’s IARC group has demonstrated that passing water through electron beam radiation can destroy PFAS. This project aims to develop a process to scale the system for bulk water treatment. The key is efficient radiation usage, ensuring that all water receives only the minimum dose. Software was developed for this purpose, consisting of a computational fluid dynamics model (CFD) in COMSOL, which calculates particle trajectories through the radiation area. A MATLAB script integrates the radiation dose of these particles, and statistical analysis is performed to evaluate the radiation utilization efficiency. These models are validated with a flow test where colored dye is injected and optically tracked. Radiation dose is measured by testing under an e-beam to measure the degradation of a PFAS analog.
