    Abstract Oxygenated organic compounds (OOCs) are widely found in indoor environments and come from either the direct emissions from indoor activities or the subsequent oxidation of nonoxygenated OCs. Adsorption and partitioning of OCs on surfaces are significant processes in indoor chemistry, yet these interactions specifically involving OOCs are still poorly understood. In this study, we investigate the interactions of three prevalent indoor OOCs (dihydromyrcenol, α-terpineol, and linalool) on an indoor surface proxy (hydroxylated SiO

    Abstract Voltage-gated sodium, potassium, and calcium channels consist of four voltage-sensing domains (VSDs) that surround a central pore domain and transition from a down state to an up state in response to membrane depolarization. While many types of drugs bind pore domains, the number of organic molecules known to bind VSDs is limited. The Hv1 voltage-gated proton channel is made of two VSDs and does not contain a pore domain, providing a simplified model for studying how small ligands interact with VSDs. Here, we describe a ligand, named HIF, that interacts with the Hv1 VSD in the up and down states. We find that HIF rapidly inhibits proton conduction in the up state by blocking the open channel, as previously described for 2-guanidinobenzimidazole and its derivatives. HIF, however, interacts with a site slowly accessible in the down state. Functional studies and MD simulations suggest that this interaction traps the compound in a narrow pocket lined with charged residues within the VSD intracellular vestibule, which results in slow recovery from inhibition. Our findings point to a "wrench in gears" mechanism whereby side chains within the binding pocket trap the compound as the teeth of interlocking gears. We propose that the use of screening strategies designed to target binding sites with slow accessibility, similar to the one identified here, could lead to the discovery of new ligands capable of interacting with VSDs of other voltage-gated ion channels in the down state.

    Abstract Motivation: A protein can be represented in several forms, including its 1D sequence, 3D atom coordinates, and molecular surface. A protein surface contains rich structural and chemical features directly related to the protein's function such as its ability to interact with other molecules. While many methods have been developed for comparing the similarity of proteins using the sequence and structural representations, computational methods based on molecular surface representation are limited.
    Results: Here, we describe "Surface ID," a geometric deep learning system for high-throughput surface comparison based on geometric and chemical features. Surface ID offers a novel grouping and alignment algorithm useful for clustering proteins by function, visualization, and in silico screening of potential binding partners to a target molecule. Our method demonstrates top performance in surface similarity assessment, indicating great potential for protein functional annotation, a major need in protein engineering and therapeutic design.
    Availability and implementation: Source code for the Surface ID model, trained weights, and inference script are available at https://github.com/Sanofi-Public/LMR-SurfaceID.

    Abstract The indoor environment is a dynamic one with many variables impacting indoor air quality and indoor air chemistry. These include relative humidity (RH) and the presence of different surfaces. Although it has been suggested that the indoor concentrations of gas-phase compounds increase at higher relative humidity, because of displacement of these compounds from indoor surfaces, little is known from a molecular perspective about how RH and adsorbed water impact the adsorption of indoor relevant organic compounds such as limonene with indoor relevant surfaces. Herein, we investigate the effects of RH on the adsorption of limonene, a hydrophobic molecule, on hydroxylated SiO

    Abstract The high membrane permeability of H2S was studied using polarizable molecular dynamics simulations of a DPPC lipid bilayer. The solubility-diffusion model predicts permeability coefficients of H2S and H2O that are in good agreement with experiment. The computed diffusion coefficient profile shows H2S to diffuse at a lower rate than H2O, but the barrier for H2S permeation on the Gibbs energy profile is negligible. The hydrophobicity of H2S allows it to partition into the paraffinic interior of the membrane readily.

    Abstract Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using the Drude polarizable force field are used to study the solution and interfacial properties of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in water. Pairwise H2O-H2S Lennard-Jones interactions were optimized to the experimental H2S gas solubility at 298 K. These parameters yield hydration free energies and diffusion coefficients for H2S that are in good agreement with the experiment over 273-323 K and 298-368 K, respectively. H2S is sparingly soluble in water, with a ΔG(hydr)° of -0.5 kcal mol(-1). The free energy perturbation (FEP) calculations and analysis of the radial distribution functions show that H2S has limited hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions with the water solvent and generally behaves like a hydrophobic solute. These features were confirmed by ab initio MD simulations. Umbrella sampling simulations were used to calculate the free energy profile of the transition of H2S across the water-vapor interface, which showed that H2S has a sizable surface excess, with a ΔG(surf) of 1.3 kcal mol(-1). This high surface excess is consistent with our calculations of the surface tension, which decreases to 20 dyn cm(-1) under high densities of H2S (g). The dipole moment of H2S increases from its gas phase value of 0.98 to 1.25 D in bulk water as it moves across the interface. Adsorbed H2S tends to be oriented perpendicular to the interface, with the sulfur atom pointing toward the vapor phase.

    Abstract The quantum mechanical (QM)/molecular mechanical (MM) interface between Chemistry at HARvard Molecular Mechanics (CHARMM) and TURBOMOLE is described. CHARMM provides an extensive set of simulation algorithms, like molecular dynamics (MD) and free energy perturbation, and support for mature nonpolarizable and Drude polarizable force fields. TURBOMOLE provides fast QM calculations using density functional theory or wave function methods and excited state properties. CHARMM-TURBOMOLE is well-suited for extended QM/MM MD simulations using first principles methods with large (triple-ζ) basis sets. We demonstrate these capabilities with a QM/MM simulation of Mg(2+) (aq), where the MM outer sphere water molecules are represented using the SWM4-NDP Drude polarizable force field and the ion and inner coordination sphere are represented using QM PBE, PBE0, and MP2 methods. The relative solvation free energies of Mg(2+) and Zn(2+) were calculated using thermodynamic integration. We also demonstrate the features for excited state properties. We calculate the time-averaged solution absorption spectrum of indole, the emission spectrum of the indole 1La excited state, and the electronic circular dichroism spectrum of an oxacepham.
