    Abstract The structure of the proton-bound dimer compound of hydrogen sulfate and formate has been studied by considering nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) using the path integral molecular dynamics method. This study unveiled the location of the shared proton and answered the following question: "Is the shared proton localized on either an anion or located around the center of two anions?" We have elucidated that the shared proton is distributed in the region beyond the transition state due to the NQEs, even though the shared proton did not completely overcome the transition state for the proton shuttle.

    Abstract To improve virtual screening for drug discovery, we present a collaborative approach between explainable artificial intelligence (AI) and simplified chemical interaction scores to efficiently search for active ligands bound to the target receptor. In particular, we focus on cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2), which is well known as a cancer target protein. Docking simulation alone is insufficient to distinguish active ligands from decoy molecules. To identify active ligands, in this paper, machine learning is employed together with scoring functions that simplify the screened Coulomb and Lennard-Jones interactions between the ligands and residues of the target receptor. We demonstrate that these simplified interaction scores can significantly improve the classification ability of machine learning models. We also demonstrate that explainable AI together with the simplified scoring method can highlight the important residues of CDK2 for recognizing active ligands.

    Abstract The placenta, a unique organ that helps maintain a healthy pregnancy, plays a pivotal role in maternal adaptation to pregnancy and releases extracellular vesicles (EVs), autacoids, and hormones. EVs are membranous vesicles released by all types of cells, including placental trophoblasts, which are involved in intracellular communication by delivering their cargo, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, to the targeted cells in a neighboring or distant location. Recently, an increasing number of publications have reported that EVs secreted from the placenta into maternal circulation deliver their cargo to maternal organs and mediate placenta-to-maternal communication during pregnancy. This review provides an overview of the transport mechanism of placenta-derived EVs to maternal organs.

    Abstract A positive Mu is a useful tool for investigating the spin density of radical species. The theoretical estimation of its behavior in a molecule requires the inclusion of a quantum effect due to the small mass of muonium. Herein, we performed ab initio a path integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) simulation, which accurately included a multi-dimensional quantum effect, for muoniated 9H-xanthene-9-thione (μXT). Our results showed that the quantum effect significantly increased the hyperfine coupling constant (HFCC) value of μXT, which qualitatively improved the calculated HFCC value, compared to the experimental one. In the PIMD simulation, the bond length between muonium and sulfur in μXT is longer than that between hydrogen and sulfur in a hydrogenated 9H-xanthene-9-thione (HXT), leading to a spin density transfer from XT (9H-xanthene-9-thione) to muonium due to neutral dissociations. Additionally, we found that the S-Mu bond in μXT prefers a structure perpendicular to the molecular plane, where the interaction between Mu and the singly occupied molecular orbital of μXT is the strongest. These structural changes resulted in a larger HFCC value in the PIMD simulation of μXT.

    Abstract Curcumin and its derivatives possess intramolecular low-barrier hydrogen bonds for intramolecular proton transfer. The π-delocalization in the OCCCO framework of the hydrogen bond in these compounds is reorganized concomitantly with the proton transfer. To characterize the hydrogen bond and π-delocalization, we performed path integral molecular dynamics simulations, revealing that although the proton migration and reorganization of the π-delocalized structure showed a positive correlation, the correlation was weak.

    Abstract In this work, the excitation energies of asymmetric thiazolothizaole (TTz) dye molecules have been theoretically studied using dielectric-dependent density functional theory (DFT). In the dielectric-dependent DFT approach, the ratio (fraction) of the nonlocal Hartree exchange term incorporated into the DFT exchange-correlation functional is a system-dependent parameter, which is inversely proportional to the dielectric constant of the target material. The dielectric-dependent DFT method is closely related to the Coulomb hole and screened exchange (COHSEX) approximation in the GW method and therefore has been applied to crystalline systems with periodic boundary conditions, such as semiconductors and inorganic materials. By focusing on the solvatofluorochromic phenomena of asymmetric TTz dyes, we show that excitation energy calculations obtained from the dielectric-dependent DFT method can reproduce the corresponding experimental UV-vis absorption and emission spectra of dyes in solvents.
