Automated Label‐Free Assay for Viral Detection and Inhibitor Screening via Biomembrane‐Functionalized Microelectrode Arrays

Most virus infection assays have indirect readout such as virus number following entry (e.g., PCR, cell lysis). While effective, these technologies are labor‐intensive, require specialized environments (e.g., sterile or RNA‐free), and detect later‐stage viral events like lysis or cell death, lacking sensitivity to early fusion events. To address these limitations, we present biologically relevant 2D membrane materials, host‐cell‐derived supported lipid bilayers (hcd‐SLBs), integrated with organic microelectrode arrays (OMEAs) for detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) fusion. By overexpressing angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors on the native membranes, the platform functions as a viral sensor capable of detecting virus pseudo particles (VPPs) through the late pathway. Additionally, hcd‐SLBs extracted from human lung epithelium expressing native ACE2 detect fusion events through the early pathway. The platform's utility as a drug‐screening tool is demonstrated by testing antibodies targeting either the ACE2 on the host membrane or the viral spike (S) proteins. To enhance the throughput, microfluidics are integrated for automation and OMEAs are incorporated within each channel, miniaturizing the testing units. This system supports high‐throughput data generation, automation, and scalability, providing an efficient platform for viral fusion detection that advances the study of pathogen‐host interactions and accelerates antiviral drug discovery.

TH-EF-BRB-07: Novel Hardware and Software Platform for Intermediate Energy 4π Radiotherapy

Purpose: To develop a robust and efficient platform for the optimization and robotic delivery of highly noncoplanar intensity modulated radiotherapy, which enables significant reduction of normal tissue toxicity and escalation of tumor dose. Methods: An innovative high-output compact 3 MV linac was designed for mounting onto a commercial robotic system in order to access the entire 4π beam solution space without moving the patient couch. The use of intermediate energy X-rays for radiotherapy was evaluated in comparison to clinical plans delivered using 6 MV X-rays and a state-of-the-art delivery system. Monte Carlo simulations of a 3 MV percent depth dose curve were performed for intermediate energy dose calculation. The beam model was used to create a convolution/superposition-based dose calculation engine for 3MV X-rays. The 4π greedy column generation algorithm was used for optimized beam selection and fluence map optimization. Results: A detailed design of the first 3 MV linac capable of producing a competitively high dose rate of >800 cGy/min at 100 cm was completed and verified through extensive simulation. The complete linac head including a multileaf collimator can access most of the 4π solution space including the posterior orientations without changing the couch height. When compared to 6 MV clinical plans, the proposed 3 MV 4π plans demonstrated significantly better dose compactness and normal tissue sparing in brain, prostate, and partial breast treatment plans. Conclusion: We demonstrate the design of a highly versatile radiotherapy machine to natively deliver non-coplanar 4π radiotherapy without the need to move the patient during treatment. This novel platform is efficient and capable of providing dosimetry that is 30–50% more compact than existing therapy platforms. The new system is projected to be cost effective due to improved treatment time and automation. NIH R43CA183390, NIH R01CA188300.

Bioconversion of self-neutralized chemically depolymerized lignin streams into polyhydroxyalkanoates

Lignin is a chemically complex, diverse, and abundant plant polymer mainly composed of aromatic monomers. These aromatic monomers make lignin a potential source of aromatics and a viable substitute for petrochemically-derived aromatics. However, the structural recalcitrance of lignin requires harsh reagents from the chemical process and expensive catalysts for effective depolymerization. This chemical process often results in poor yields of chemical intermediate mixtures of varying bioavailability and/or toxicity. Furthermore, the cost of additional reagents required to separate or detoxify these intermediates makes processing lignin impractical. We report progress towards the use of such chemically depolymerized lignin streams by employing bacterial strains to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). PHAs are a group of biodegradable microbial polyesters that have potential as a replacement for petroleum-based plastics. In this study we utilized two distinct lignin streams obtained after chemical depolymerization of lignin under alkaline and acidic pH in the presence of catalysts. We mixed the alkali-treated depolymerized stream with the acid-treated depolymerized stream to create a solution of neutral-pH chemically depolymerized lignin (CDL). We found moderate to substantial growth of both native and non-native PHA producers on the mixture of CDL as well as its aliphatic and aromatic components. PHA was detected by Sudan Black B staining in C. necator H16, P. putida KT2440, and E. coli LSBJ STQKAB grown on mixed CDL as the sole carbon source. For C. necator H16 and E. coli LSBJ STQKAB we found that PHA content was greater when grown on mixed CDL when compared to their preferred carbon source by GC-FID quantification. Our study provided progress towards a cost-competitive, sustainable, and industrially relevant use for lignin.

Geometric Structure and Transversal Logic of Quantum Reed–Muller Codes

Designing efficient and noise-tolerant quantum computation protocols generally begins with an understanding of quantum error-correcting codes and their native logical operations. The simplest class of native operations are transversal gates, which are naturally fault-tolerant. Here, in this paper, we aim to characterize the transversal gates of quantum Reed–Muller (RM) codes by exploiting the well-studied properties of their classical counterparts. We start our work by establishing a new geometric characterization of quantum RM codes via the Boolean hypercube and its associated subcube complex. More specifically, a set of stabilizer generators for a quantum RM code can be described via transversal X and Z operators acting on subcubes of particular dimensions. This characterization leads us to define subcube operators composed of single-qubit π/2 k Z -rotations that act on subcubes of given dimensions. We first characterize the action of subcube operators on the code space: depending on the dimension of the subcube, these operators either (1) act as a logical identity on the code space, (2) implement non-trivial logic, or (3) rotate a state away from the code space. Second, and more remarkably, we uncover that the logic implemented by these operators corresponds to circuits of multi-controlled-Z gates that have an explicit and simple combinatorial description. Overall, this suite of results yields a comprehensive understanding of a class of natural transversal operators for quantum RM codes.

Efficient Xml Interchange (exi) For Python (expy)

EXPy provides a native Python interface into the LF Energy EVerest V2G protocol stack. The protocol stack is implemented in C/C++ and compiled into shared object libraries. EXPy provides the Python Ctypes translation of the C/C++ libraries for use with pure Python software. This project eliminates the need for integrating Python with third-party communications applications and greatly reduces the code base and improves performance. The other major benefit is the ability for EXPy to support new EXI based protocols as additional V2G standards are produced (e.g. upgrade from ISO 15118-2 to ISO 15118-20).

Matrix Metalloproteinases as Candidate Antigenic Determinants for Anti‐Tumor Autoantibodies in Human Ovarian Cancer: A Post Hoc Analysis

Circulating antibodies in patients with cancer can facilitate the identification of accessible epitopes on autoantigens expressed by tumors. To identify previously unrecognized protein targets in ovarian cancer, we computationally assessed a heptapeptide consensus motif (VPELGHE, flanked by two cysteine residues yielding a cyclic nonapeptide under oxidizing conditions) previously discovered via phage display-based epitope mapping of autoantibodies in patients. Eight proteins associated with ovarian cancer encompass amino acid sequences similar to the consensus motif and were, therefore, considered as candidate native autoantigens. Among these candidate targets, however, matrix metalloproteinase 14 (MMP14) demonstrates gene expression that is both high and negatively correlated with survival in ovarian cancer patient cohorts. MMP14 protein levels are also stable in tumor versus non-tumor tissues. Moreover, the corresponding heptapeptide mimic in MMP14 occurs within an α-helical secondary structural element observed in its catalytic domain. These findings demonstrate that a subset of patient-derived autoantibodies may interact with a previously unknown antigenic epitope found in MMP14 and other MMPs, thereby providing opportunities for the development of new targeted agents.

Quantum Adiabatic Optimization with Rydberg Arrays: Localization Phenomena and Encoding Strategies

Quantum adiabatic optimization seeks to solve combinatorial problems using quantum dynamics, requiring the Hamiltonian of the system to align with the problem of interest. However, these Hamiltonians are often incompatible with the native constraints of quantum hardware, necessitating encoding strategies to map the original problem into a hardware-conformant form. While the classical overhead associated with such mappings is easily quantifiable and typically polynomial in problem size, it is much harder to quantify their overhead on the quantum algorithm, e.g., the transformation of the adiabatic timescale. In this work, we address this challenge on the concrete example of the encoding scheme proposed in [Nguyen , PRX Quantum , 010316 (2023)], which is designed to map optimization problems on arbitrarily connected graphs into Rydberg atom arrays. We consider the fundamental building blocks underlying this encoding scheme and determine the scaling of the minimum gap with system size along adiabatic protocols. Even when the original problem is trivially solvable, we find that the encoded problem can exhibit an exponentially closing minimum gap. We show that this originates from a quantum coherent effect, which gives rise to an unfavorable localization of the ground-state wave function. On the QuEra Aquila neutral atom machine, we observe such localization and its effect on the success probability of finding the correct solution to the encoded optimization problem. Finally, we propose quantum-aware modifications of the encoding scheme that avoid this quantum bottleneck and lead to an exponential improvement in the adiabatic performance. This highlights the crucial importance of accounting for quantum effects when designing strategies to encode classical problems onto quantum platforms.

Characterization of the Sinorhizobium meliloti HslUV and ClpXP Protease Systems in Free-Living and Symbiotic States

Symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) in the interaction between the soil bacteria Sinorhizobium meliloti and legume plant Medicago sativa is carried out in specialized root organs called nodules. During nodule development, each symbiont must drastically alter their proteins, transcripts, and metabolites in order to support nitrogen fixation. Moreover, bacteria within the nodules are under stress, including challenges by plant antimicrobial peptides, low pH, limited oxygen availability, and strongly reducing conditions, all of which challenge proteome integrity. S. meliloti stress adaptation, proteome remodeling, and quality control are controlled in part by the large oligomeric protease complexes HslUV and ClpXP1. To improve understanding of the roles of S. meliloti HslUV and ClpXP1 under free-living conditions and in symbiosis with M. sativa, we generated ΔhslU, ΔhslV, ΔhslUV, and ΔclpP1 knockout mutants. The shoot dry weight of M. sativa plants inoculated with each deletion mutant was significantly reduced, suggesting a role in symbiosis. Further, slower free-living growth of the ΔhslUV and ΔclpP1 mutants suggests that HslUV and ClpP1 were involved in adapting to heat stress, the while ΔhslU and ΔclpP1 mutants were sensitive to kanamycin. All deletion mutants produced less exopolysaccharide and succinoglycan, as shown by replicate spot plating and calcofluor binding. We also generated endogenous C-terminal enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) fusions to HslU, HslV, ClpX, and ClpP1 in S. meliloti. Using anti-eGFP antibodies, native coimmunoprecipitation experiments with proteins from free-living and nodule tissues were performed and analyzed by mass spectrometry. The results suggest that HslUV and ClpXP were closely associated with ribosomal and proteome quality control proteins, and they identified several novel putative protein-protein interactions.

Extension of the Highly Mobile Membrane Mimetic to Transmembrane Systems through Customized in Silico Solvents

Typically, the mechanics of the protein–lipid interactions of transmembrane proteins are difficult to capture with conventional atomic molecular dynamics, due to the slow lateral diffusion of lipids restricting sampling to states near the initial membrane configuration. The highly mobile membrane mimetic (HMMM) model accelerates lipid dynamics by modeling the acyl tails nearest to the membrane center as a fluid organic solvent while maintaining an atomic description of the lipid headgroups and short acyl tails. The HMMM has been applied to many peripheral protein systems; however, the organic solvent used to date caused deformations in transmembrane proteins by intercalating into the protein and disrupting interactions between individual side chains. We ameliorate the effect of the solvent on transmembrane protein structure through the development of two new in silico Lennard-Jones solvents. The parameters for the new solvents were determined through an extensive parameter search in order to match the bulk properties of alkanes in a highly simplified model. Using these new solvents, we substantially improve the insertion free energy profiles of 10 protein side chain analogues across the entire bilayer. Furthermore, we reduce the intercalation of solvent into transmembrane systems, resulting in native-like transmembrane protein structures from five different topological classes within a HMMM bilayer. The parametrization of the solvents, in addition to their computed physical properties, is discussed. By combining high lipid lateral diffusion with intact transmembrane proteins, we foresee the developed solvents being useful to efficiently identify membrane composition inhomogeneities and lipid binding caused by the presence of membrane proteins.

Data for "Integrated Green Biorefinery for the Production of Anthocyanins, Fermentable Sugars, and High Pure Lignin from Miscanthus × giganteus "

Miscanthus x giganteus (Mxg) is a promising perennial crop for producing natural colorants, renewable fuels, and bioproducts. However, natural recalcitrance and high pretreatment cost are major barriers to their complete conversion. In this study, a green processing method has been investigated for efficient recovery of natural pigments (anthocyanins), fermentable sugars, and pure lignin from Mxg genotypes using choline chloride-based natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) systems. Interestingly, choline chloride: lactic acid (ChCl: LA) NADES-processed biomass resulted in 67.8 ± 2.1 μg g−1 of anthocyanins from dry biomass. A maximum of 87.4%–94.1% glucose yield was achieved after enzymatic saccharification. The effective extraction of lignin with high purity with higher β-aryl ether (βO4) bonds from advanced crops is crucial for lignin valorization. Notably, highly pure lignin (≈93.4% ± 1.4%) is achieved after low-temperature NADES pretreatment while retaining lignin’s native structure. 31P nuclear magnetic resonance demonstrated that total phenolics for ChCl: LA-lignin resulted in 1.20 mmol g−1 hydroxyls. The relative monolignol composition of syringyl (S), guaiacyl (G), and p-hydroxyphenyl (H) is 19.0, 65.7, and 14.3%, respectively, as evidenced by heteronuclear single quantum coherence analysis. This study provides a novel approach for obtaining high-purity lignin for catalytic depolymerization for oligomers and bifunctional monoaromatics production and leverages current cellulosic biorefinery technologies.

Quantifying Membrane Structure and Dynamics during Bioproduct Production in Zymomonas mobilis by Molecular Simulation

The conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels and bioproducts by microbial biorefineries is central to a sustainable chemical industry. Zymomonas mobilis is one such biorefinery chassis and is resistant to ethanol stress, leading to its use in biomass conversion to biofuels and bioproducts. However, Z. mobilis growth is often inhibited by organic acids, aldehydes, alcohols, ketones, and amides found in biomass hydrolysate. The resulting slow growth inhibits production and as a result drives up the price for the resulting products. One hypothesis is that these molecules interact with or disrupt the bacterial membrane, triggering stress responses and hindering growth. To test this hypothesis at the molecular level, we employ all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate lignocellulose-derived small molecules and their impact on a biologically relevant Z. mobilis membrane model. Simulations were conducted across a range of inhibitor concentrations from 0 to 2.5 mol %, analyzing key membrane properties such as area per lipid (APL), membrane thickness, lipid-order parameter (−S CH ), lateral diffusion coefficient (D xy ), and permeability coefficient (Pm). From simulation, we observed altered membrane structure and dynamics at these modest small molecule concentrations commonly found in hydrolysates. Generally, the membranes become thinner, with a higher area per lipid and lower-order parameter as the small molecule concentration increases. These trends are stronger for more hydrophobic molecules with greater hydrophobic bulk, as isobutanol, propanol, and propanoic acid showed greater membrane perturbations as the concentration increased compared to other small molecules. Tracking small molecule distributions directly in our equilibrium simulations allows us to determine concentration-dependent free energy profiles for these molecules. While the trends are noisy, generally the barriers to crossing the membrane decrease as the concentration increases, indicating that the membranes become leakier as small molecule concentrations rise. Comparing between native Z. mobilis membranes with hopanoids and membranes sharing the same phospholipid composition but without hopanoids, hopanoids stabilize and order the membrane for smaller molecules to maintain membrane structure but appear insufficient for larger hydrophobic molecules like isobutanol. These findings provide a mechanistic understanding of how small molecules found in biomass degradation streams interact with the Z. mobilis membrane, offering valuable insights for future strain engineering efforts to optimize biofuel and bioproduct synthesis from biomass feedstocks by highlighting limits to small molecule tolerance. This knowledge can guide the modification of membrane composition to develop more robust microbes, thereby improving microbial survival and yields in industrial contexts.

Fast superconducting qubit control with subharmonic drives

Increasing the fidelity of single-qubit gates requires a combination of faster pulses and increased qubit coherence. However, these requirements can be contradictory. Additionally, increasing the drive power can heat the qubit’s environment and degrade coherence. In this work, we circumvent this issue and achieve rapid gates by pumping a transmon’s native Kerr at approximately one third of the qubit’s resonant frequency. The subharmonic Rabi rate of the process is proportional to applied drive amplitude cubed, allowing for rapid gates. In addition, we demonstrate that filtering can be used to protect the qubit’s coherence while performing rapid gates. Single qubit gates as short as 37.4 ns are demonstrated with fidelity of 99.91%. We present theoretical calculations indicating that drive induced multi-photon decay will not limit qubit lifetime; calculated power absorption also indicates that this technique could reduce cryostat heating for fast gates, a vital requirement for large-scale quantum computers.

A minimal SufB 2 C 2 complex functions as a [4Fe-4S] cluster scaffold in methanogenic archaea

Iron-sulfur clusters are essential cofactors in all domains of life, yet their biogenesis in obligately anaerobic archaea remains poorly understood. Here, we characterized the minimal two-protein SUF system in methanogenic archaea, composed solely of SufB and SufC. Using Methanococcus maripaludis as a model, we demonstrate that the SUF proteins from its native host form a stable SufB 2 C 2 heterotetramer that binds a [4Fe-4S] cluster via three conserved cysteines in SufC. Mutations of conserved cysteine and histidine residues of SufB do not impair cluster binding. The complex interacts with the SAM-containing methanogenesis marker protein 10 (MmpX), suggesting direct Fe-S cluster transfer from SufB 2 C 2 to target proteins. Mutational analysis of Methanothermococcus thermolithotrophicus proteins confirmed that SufC is the primary cluster-binding component, while SufB enhances ATPase and cluster transfer activities. Evolutionary comparisons suggest that this two-protein SUF system represents an ancestral form of Fe-S cluster biogenesis.

Investigation of encapsulin nanocompartment systems as a scaffold for biomaterials synthesis in Rhodococcus species (Annual Report 2025)

Engineered protein compartmentalization systems hold significant promise to enhance reaction efficiencies through co-localization, concentration, and sequestration of biosynthetic pathways. As such, they have the potential to enable the bioproduction of next generation bioproducts and biomaterials in genetically engineered microbes in support of DOE’s mission to build a strong bioeconomy. Among systems of particular interest are protein nanocompartment systems called encapsulins that are natively produced by a variety of bacteria including those with a high potential for bioproduction. This ECRP project is focused on understanding how encapsulins can be used to enhance the biosynthesis of next-generation biomaterials in Rhodococcus species. Specifically, we seek: (1) to probe the mechanistic basis for how these compartments are regulated, biosynthesized, and maintained, and (2) to engineer these systems to achieve new biosynthetic functions (e.g., alkene, inorganic nanoparticle biosynthesis). We anticipate that this work will establish encapsulin compartmentalization systems as a means of improving yields and enabling biosynthetic routes toward new biomaterials, thus advancing the U.S. bioeconomy.

Soft X-ray tomography reveals variations in B. subtilis biofilm structure upon tasA deletion

Bacterial biofilms are complex cell communities within a self-produced extracellular matrix, crucial in various fields but challenging to analyze in 3D. We developed a "biofilm-in-capillary" growth method compatible with full-rotation soft X-ray tomography, enabling high-resolution 3D imaging of bacterial cells and their matrix during biofilm formation. This approach offers 50 nm isotropic spatial resolution, rapid imaging, and quantitative native analysis of biofilm structure. Using Bacillus subtilis biofilms, we detected coherent alignment and chaining of wild-type cells towards the oxygen-rich capillary tip. In contrast, the ΔtasA genetic knock-out showed a loss of cellular orientation and changes in the extracellular matrix. Adding TasA protein to the ΔtasA strain restored matrix density and led to cell assembly compaction, but without the chaining observed in wild-type biofilms. This scalable and transferable approach opens new avenues for examining biofilm structure and function across various species, including mixed biofilms, and response to genetic and environmental factors.

Thermal chemistry of copper acetamidinate atomic layer deposition precursors on silicon oxide surfaces studied by XPS

The thermal surface chemistry of copper(I)-N,N′-di-sec-butylacetamidinate, [Cu({sup s}Bu-amd)]{sub 2}, a metalorganic complex recently proposed for the chemical-based deposition of copper films, has been characterized on SiO{sub 2} films under ultrahigh vacuum conditions by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Initial adsorption at cryogenic temperatures results in the oxidation of the copper centers with Cu 2p{sub 3/2} XPS binding energies close to those seen for a +2 oxidation state, an observation that the authors interpret as the result of the additional coordination of oxygen atoms from the surface to the Cu atoms of the molecular acetamidinate dimer. Either heating to 300 K or dosing the precursor directly at that temperature leads to the loss of one of its two ligands, presumably via hydrogenation/protonation with a hydrogen/proton from a silanol group, or following a similar reaction on a defect site. By approximately 500 K the Cu 2p{sub 3/2}, C 1s, and N 1s XPS data suggest that the remaining acetamidinate ligand is displaced from the copper center and bonds to the silicon oxide directly, after which temperatures above 900 K need to be reached to promote further (and only partial) decomposition of those organic moieties. It was also shown that the uptake of the Cu precursor is self-limiting at either 300 or 500 K, although the initial chemistry is somewhat different at the two temperatures, and that the nature of the substrate also defines reactivity, with the thin native silicon oxide layer always present on Si(100) surfaces being less reactive than thicker films grown by evaporation, presumably because of the lower density of surface nucleation sites.

Mechanism-guided engineering of a minimal biological particle for genome editing

The widespread application of genome editing to treat and cure disease requires the delivery of genome editors into the nucleus of target cells. Enveloped delivery vehicles (EDVs) are engineered virally derived particles capable of packaging and delivering CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoproteins (RNPs). However, the presence of lentiviral genome encapsulation and replication proteins in EDVs has obscured the underlying delivery mechanism and precluded particle optimization. Here, we show that Cas9 RNP nuclear delivery is independent of the native lentiviral capsid structure. Instead, EDV-mediated genome editing activity corresponds directly to the number of nuclear localization sequences on the Cas9 enzyme. EDV structural analysis using cryo-electron tomography and small molecule inhibitors guided the removal of ~80% of viral residues, creating a minimal EDV (miniEDV) that retains full RNP delivery capability. MiniEDVs are 25% smaller yet package equivalent amounts of Cas9 RNPs relative to the original EDVs and demonstrated increased editing in cell lines and therapeutically relevant primary human T cells. These results show that virally derived particles can be streamlined to create efficacious genome editing delivery vehicles with simpler production and manufacturing.
