Major biological polymerization processes achieve remarkable accuracy while operating out of thermodynamic equilibrium by utilizing the mechanism known as kinetic proofreading. Here, we study the interplay of the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of proofreading by exploring the dissipation and catalytic rate, respectively, under the realistic constraint of fixed chemical potential difference. Theoretical analyses reveal no-monotonic variations of the catalytic rate and total entropy production rate (EPR), the latter quantifying the dissipation, at steady state. Applying this finding to a tRNA selection network in protein synthesis, we observe that the network tends to maximize both the EPR and catalytic rate, but not the accuracy. Simultaneously, the system tries to minimize the ratio of the EPRs due to the proofreading steps and the catalytic steps. Therefore, dissipation plays a guiding role in the optimization of the catalytic rate in the tRNA selection network of protein synthesis.Investigating the local micromagnetic structure of ferromagnetic nanowires (NWs) at the nanoscale is essential to study the structure-property relationships and can facilitate the design of nanostructures for technology applications. Herein, we synthesized high-quality iron and cobalt NWs and investigated the magnetic properties of these NWs using off-axis electron holography. The Fe NWs are about 100 nm in width and a few micrometers in length with a preferential growth direction of [100], while the Co NWs have a higher aspect-ratio with preferential crystal growth along the [110] direction. It is noted that compact passivation surface layers of oxides protect these NWs from further oxidation, even after nearly two years of exposure to ambient conditions; furthermore, these NWs display homogeneous ferromagnetism along their axial direction revealing the domination of shape anisotropy on magnetic behavior. Importantly, the average value of magnetic induction strengths of Fe NWs (2.07 ± 0.10 T) and Co NWs (1.83 ± 0.15 T) is measured to be very close to the respective theoretical value, and it shows that the surface oxide layers do not affect the magnetic moments in NWs. Our results provide a useful synthesis approach for the fabrication of single-crystalline, defect-free metal NWs and give insight into the micromagnetic properties in ferromagnetic NWs based on the transmission electron microscopy measurements.The degradation of fibrils under the influence of thermal fluctuations was studied experimentally by various groups around the world. In the first set of experiments, it was shown that the decay of fibril content, which can be measured by the ThT fluorescence assay, obeys a bi-exponential function. In the second series of experiments, it was demonstrated that when the monomers separated from the aggregate are not recyclable, the time dependence of the number of monomers belonging to the dominant cluster is described by a single-exponential function if the fraction of bound chains becomes less than a certain threshold. Note that the time dependence of the fraction of bound chains can be measured by tryptophan fluorescence. To understand these interesting experimental results, we developed a phenomenological theory and performed molecular simulation. According to our theory and simulations using the lattice and all-atom models, the time dependence of bound chains is described by a logistic function, which slowly decreases at short time scales but becomes a single exponential function at large time scales. The results, obtained by using lattice and all-atom simulations, ascertained that the time dependence of the fibril content can be described by a bi-exponential function that decays faster than the logistic function on short time scales. We have uncovered the molecular mechanism for the distinction between the logistic and bi-exponential behavior. Since the dissociation of the chain from the fibrils requires the breaking of a greater number of inter-chain contacts as compared to the breaking of the beta sheet structure, the decrease in the number of connected chains is slower than the fibril content. Selleck Cryptotanshinone Therefore, the time dependence of the aggregate size is logistic, while the two-exponential behavior is preserved for the content of fibrils. Our results are in agreement with the results obtained in both sets of experiments.Solvent polarization around a polar solute molecule plays an essential role in determining the electronic and thermodynamic properties of solutions. In this study, a solvent-polarizable model in response to solute polarization is proposed, which is coupled with a three-dimensional reference interaction-site model theory. The charge-response kernel is used to describe solvent polarizability, and four different coupling schemes are assessed. The most feasible behavior scheme among them is the one that incorporates responses not only to solute polarization but also to solute-induced solvent polarization. The numerical results indicated that solvent molecules near the polar solute show significant polarization, and therefore, the model proposed here is useful for considering the solvation process and thermodynamics of polar solute molecules.We present a framework for the calculation of diabatic states using the combined density functional theory and multireference configuration interaction (DFT/MRCI) method. Due to restrictions present in the current formulation of the DFT/MRCI method (a lack of analytical derivative couplings and the inability to use non-canonical Kohn-Sham orbitals), most common diabatization strategies are not applicable. We demonstrate, however, that diabatic wavefunctions and potentials can be reliably calculated at the DFT/MRCI level of theory using a propagative variant of the block diagonalization diabatization method (P-BDD). The proposed procedure is validated via the calculation of diabatic potentials for LiH and the simulation of the vibronic spectrum of pyrazine. In both cases, the combination of the DFT/MRCI and P-BDD methods is found to correctly recover the non-adiabatic coupling effects of the problem.
