    Abstract To study the distribution of somatic mutations in the DNA flanking the 5' side of rearranged Ig V genes, the 5' region of 14 to 21 mutant forms of three different V(D)J were sequenced. These were compared with a fourth V(D)J for which the flanking sequences of 10 mutant forms are known. The leader intron of these four V genes varied from 82 to 365 nucleotides in length. Analysis of the data showed that: 1) The mutation frequency is distributed asymmetrically with respect to the V(D)J exon with skewing in the 3' direction. 2) The distribution of mutations 5' of V(D)J seems to be related to the size of the leader intron. The significance of these findings for models of hypermutation is discussed.

    Abstract We present infrared spectra and density functional theory calculations of hydrated pyrene anion clusters with up to four water molecules. The experimental spectra were acquired by using infrared Ar messenger photodissociation spectroscopy. Water molecules form clusters on the surface of the pyrene, forming hydrogen bonds with the π-system. The structures of the water clusters and their interaction with the π-system are encoded in OH stretching vibrational modes. We find that the interactions between water molecules are stronger than the interactions between water molecules and the π-system. While all clusters show multiple conformers, three- and four-membered rings are the lowest energy structures in the larger hydrates.

    Abstract Covalent drug design is an important component in drug discovery. Traditional drugs interact with their target in a reversible equilibrium, while irreversible covalent drugs increase the drug-target interaction duration by forming a covalent bond with targeted residues and thus may offer a more effective therapeutic approach. To facilitate the design of this class of ligands, computational methods can be used to help identify reactive nucleophilic residues, frequently cysteines, on a target protein for covalent binding, to test various warhead groups for their potential reactivities, and to predict noncovalent contributions to binding that can facilitate drug-target interactions that are important for binding specificity. To further aid covalent drug design, we extended a functional group mapping approach based on explicit solvent all-atom molecular simulations (SILCS: site identification by ligand competitive saturation) that intrinsically considers protein flexibility, functional group, and protein desolvation along with functional group-protein interactions. Through docking of a library of representative warhead fragments using SILCS-Monte Carlo (SILCS-MC), reactive cysteines can be correctly identified for proteins being tested. Furthermore, a machine learning model was trained to quantify the effectiveness of various warhead groups for proteins using metrics from SILCS-MC as well as experimental model compound warhead reactivity data. The ability to rank covalent molecular binders with similar warheads using SILCS ligand grid free energy (LGFE) ranking was also tested for several proteins. Based on these tools, an integrated SILCS-based workflow was developed, named SILCS-Covalent, which can both qualitatively and quantitatively inform covalent drug discovery.

    Abstract Interactions between water and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are essential in many aspects of chemistry, from interstellar and atmospheric processes to interfacial hydrophobicity and wetting phenomena. Despite their growing importance, the intermolecular potentials of the water-hydrocarbon interactions are underdeveloped compared to the water-water potentials, and there are similarly few experimental probes that are sensitive to the details of the water-hydrocarbon potential. We present a combined experimental and computational study of anionic pyrene monohydrate, one of the simplest water/hydrocarbon clusters. The action spectrum in the OH region of the mass-selected cluster ion provides a rigorous benchmark for intermolecular potentials and computational methodologies. We identify missing intermolecular interactions and shortcomings in conventional dynamics calculations by comparing experimental data to density functional theory and classical molecular dynamics calculations. Kinetic trapping is prevalent, even for one water molecule and one pyrene molecule, leading to slow equilibration in conventional molecular dynamics calculations, even on nanosecond time scales and at low temperatures (50 K). At constant energy, temperature fluctuations for the pair of molecules are substantial. Immersing the system in a bath of soft spheres and employing parallel tempering alleviates kinetic trapping and dampens temperature fluctuations, bringing the system closer to the thermodynamic limit. With such augmented sampling, a simple, flexible water model reproduces the line width and the asymmetric broadening of the symmetric OH stretching mode, which we assign to spectral diffusion. In the OH stretching region, dynamics calculations predict a more intense antisymmetric peak than experiments observe but do not predict the bimodal split symmetric peak that the experiments show. Our work suggests that electronic polarization, missing in the empirical force field, is responsible for the first discrepancy and that quantum nuclear effects, captured neither in density functional theory nor in classical dynamics, may be responsible for the second.

    Abstract High-energy x-ray diffraction from molten and glassy BaB2O4 and BaB4O7 has been performed using aerodynamic levitation and laser heating over a wide range of temperatures. Remarkably, even in the presence of a heavy metal modifier dominating x-ray scattering, it was possible to extract accurate values for the tetrahedral, sp3, boron fraction, N4, which declines with increasing temperature, using bond valence-based mapping from the measured mean B-O bond lengths while accounting for vibrational thermal expansion. These are used within a boron-coordination-change model to extract enthalpies, ΔH, and entropies, ΔS, of isomerization between sp2 and sp3 boron. The results for BaB4O7, ΔH = 22(3) kJ mol-1 boron, ΔS = 19(2) J mol-1 boron K-1, agree quantitatively with those found previously for Na2B4O7. Analytical expressions for N4(J, T) and associated configurational heat capacity, CPconf(J, T), and entropy, Sconf(J, T), contributions are extended to cover a wide composition range 0 ≤ J = BaO/B2O3 ≤ 3 using a model for ΔH(J) and ΔS(J) derived empirically for lithium borates. Maxima in the CPconf(J, Tg) and fragility index contributions are thereby predicted for J ≲ 1, higher than the maximum observed and predicted in N4(J, Tg) at J ≃ 0.6. We discuss the utility of the boron-coordination-change isomerization model in the context of borate liquids containing other modifiers and the prospect of neutron diffraction to aid in empirical determinations of modifier-dependent effects, illustrated by new neutron diffraction data on Ba11B4O7 glass, its well-known α-polymorph, and lesser-known δ-phase.

    Abstract Many diseases, including cancer and covid, result in altered mechanical and electric properties of the affected cells. These changes were proposed as disease markers. Current methods to characterize such changes either provide very limited information on many cells or have extremely low throughput. We introduce electro-acoustic spinning (EAS). Cells were found to spin in combined non-rotating AC electric and acoustic fields. The rotation velocity in EAS depends critically on a cell's electrical and mechanical properties. In contrast to existing methods, the rotation is uniform in the field of view and hundreds of cells can be characterized simultaneously. We demonstrate that EAS can distinguish cells with only minor differences in electric and mechanical properties, including differences in age or the number of passages.

    Abstract Computer-aided drug design (CADD) approaches are playing an increasingly important role in understanding the fundamentals of ligand-receptor interactions and helping medicinal chemists design therapeutics. About 5 years ago, we presented a chapter devoted to an overview of CADD methods and covered typical CADD protocols including structure-based drug design (SBDD) and ligand-based drug design (LBDD) approaches that were frequently used in the antibiotic drug design process. Advances in computational hardware and algorithms and emerging CADD methods are enhancing the accuracy and ability of CADD in drug design and development. In this chapter, an update to our previous chapter is provided with a focus on new CADD approaches from our laboratory and other peers that can be employed to facilitate the development of antibiotic therapeutics.
