Among others, DNA stands out as an ideal biological regulator. Its inherent programmability and interaction capabilities allow it to significantly modulate nanozyme activity. This study delves into the dynamic interplay between DNA and molybdenum-zinc single-atom nanozymes(Mo-Zn SANs). Using molecular dynamics simulations, we uncover how DNA influences the peroxidase-like activities of Mo-Zn SANs, providing a foundational understanding that broadens the application scope of SANs in biosensing.With these insights as a foundation, we developed and demonstrated a model aptasensor for point-ofcare testing(POCT), utilizing a label-free colorimetric approach that leverages DNA-nanozyme interactions to achieve high-sensitivity detection of lysozyme. Our work elucidates the nuanced control DNA exerts over nanozyme functionality and illustrates the application of this molecular mechanism through a smartphone-assisted biosensing platform. This study not only underscores the practical implications of DNA-regulated Mo-Zn SANs in enhancing biosensing platforms, but also highlights the potential of single-atom nanozyme technology to revolutionize diagnostic tools through its inherent versatility and sensitivity.展开更多

This study explores the plastic deformation mechanisms of γ-phase U–Mo alloys using molecular dynamics(MD) simulations. In the slip model, the generalized stacking fault energy(GSFE) and the modified Peierls–Nabarro(P–N) model are used to determine the competitive relationships among different slip systems. In the twinning model, the generalized plane fault energy(GPFE) is assessed to evaluate the competition between slip and twinning. The findings reveal that among the three slip systems, the {110}<111>slip system is preferentially activated, while in the {112}<111> system, twinning is favored over slip, as confirmed by MD tensile simulations conducted in various directions. Additionally, the impact of Mo content on deformation behavior is emphasized. Insights are provided for optimizing process conditions to avoid γ → α′′ transitions, thereby maintaining a higher proportion of γ-phase U–Mo alloys for practical applications.展开更多

文摘Stimuli-responsive polymers capable of rapidly altering their chain conformation in response to external stimuli exhibit broad applica-tion prospects.Experiments have shown that pressure plays a pivotal role in regulating the microscopic chain conformation of polymers in mixed solvents,and one notable finding is that increasing the pressure can lead to the vanishing of the co-nonsolvency effect.However,the mecha-nisms underlying this phenomenon remain unclear.In this study,we systematically investigated the influence of pressure on the co-nonsolvency effect of single-chain and multi-chain homopolymers in binary mixed good-solvent systems using molecular dynamics simulations.Our results show that the co-nonsolvency-induced chain conformation transition and aggregation behavior significantly depend on pressure in allsingle-chain and multi-chain systems.In single-chain systems,at low pressures,the polymer chain maintains a collapsed state over a wide range of co-solvent fractions(x-range)owing to the co-nonsolvency effect.As the pressure increases,the x-range of the collapsed state gradually narrows,ac-companied by a progressive expansion of the chain.In multichain systems,polymer chains assemble into approximately spherical aggregates over a broad x-range at low pressures owing to the co-nonsolvency effect.Increasing the pressure reduces the x-range for forming aggregates and leads to the formation of loose aggregates or even to a state of dispersed chains at some x-range.These findings indicate that increasing the pressure can weaken or even offset the co-nonsolvency effect in some x-range,which is in good agreement with the experimental observations.Quantitative analysis of the radial density distributions and radial distribution functions reveals that,with increasing pressure,(1)the densities of both polymers and co-solvent molecules within aggregates decrease,while that of the solvent molecule increases;and(2)the effective interac-tions between the polymer and the co-solvent weaken,whereas those between the polymer and solvent strengthen.This enhances the incorpo-ration of solvent molecules within the chains,thereby weakening or even suppressing the chain aggregation.Our study not only elucidates the regulatory mechanism of pressure on the microscopic chain conformations and aggregation behaviors of polymers,but also may provide theo-retical guidance for designing smart polymericmaterials based on mixed solvents.

文摘The multi-scale modeling combined with the cohesive zone model(CZM)and the molecular dynamics(MD)method were preformed to simulate the crack propagation in NiTi shape memory alloys(SMAs).The metallographic microscope and image processing technology were employed to achieve a quantitative grain size distribution of NiTi alloys so as to provide experimental data for molecular dynamics modeling at the atomic scale.Considering the size effect of molecular dynamics model on material properties,a reasonable modeling size was provided by taking into account three characteristic dimensions from the perspective of macro,meso,and micro scales according to the Buckinghamπtheorem.Then,the corresponding MD simulation on deformation and fracture behavior was investigated to derive a parameterized traction-separation(T-S)law,and then it was embedded into cohesive elements of finite element software.Thus,the crack propagation behavior in NiTi alloys was reproduced by the finite element method(FEM).The experimental results show that the predicted initiation fracture toughness is in good agreement with experimental data.In addition,it is found that the dynamics initiation fracture toughness increases with decreasing grain size and increasing loading velocity.

文摘Liquid hydrogen has attracted much attention due to its high energy storage density and suitability for long-distance transportation.An efficient hydrogen liquefaction process is the key to obtaining liquid hydrogen.In an effort to determine the parameter optimization of the hydrogen liquefaction process,this paper employed process simulation software Aspen HYSYS to simulate the hydrogen liquefaction process.By establishing a dynamic model of the unit module,this study carried out dynamic simulation optimization based on the steady-state process and process parameters of the hydrogen liquefaction process and analyzed the dynamic characteristics of the process.Based on the pressure drop characteristic experiment,an equation for the pressure drop in the heat exchanger was proposed.The heat transfer of hydrogen conversion was simulated and analyzed,and its accuracy was verified by comparison with the literature.The dynamic simulation of a plate-fin heat exchanger was carried out by coupling heat transfer simulation and the pressure drop experiment.The results show that the increase in inlet temperature(5℃and 10℃)leads to an increase in specific energy consumption(0.65%and 1.29%,respectively)and a decrease in hydrogen liquefaction rate(0.63%and 2.88%,respectively).When the inlet pressure decreases by 28.57%,the hydrogen temperature of the whole liquefaction process decreases and the specific energy consumption increases by 52.94%.The research results are of great significance for improving the operating efficiency of the refrigeration cycle and guiding the actual liquid hydrogen production.

文摘The effects of different Al_(2)O_(3)/SiO_(2)(Al/Si)ratios on the structure and tensile strength of Na_(2)O-CaO-MgO-Al_(2)O_(3)-SiO_(2)glass fiber were investigated by Raman,tensile strength tests and molecular dynamics simulation.The results showed that Al^(3+)mainly existed in the form of[AlO_(4)]within the glass network.With the increase of Al/Si ratio,the Si-O-Al linkage gradually became the main connection mode of glass network.The increase of bridging oxygen content and variation of Q^(n) indicated that a higher degree of network polymerization was formed.The tensile strength of the glass fibers obtained through experiments increased from 2653.56 to 2856.83 MPa,which was confirmed by the corresponding molecular dynamics simulation.During the stretching process,the Si-O bonds in the Si-O-Al linkage tended to break regardless of the compositional changes,and the increase of fractured Si-O-Al and Al-O-Al linkage absorbed more energy to resist the destroy.

文摘We present a general numerical simulation method to solve non-Markovian dynamics of an open quantum system influenced by quantum Brownian motion.Based on the determined memory kernel function,this method enables the resolution of non-Markovian dynamics for a wide range of system Hamiltonians and spectral densities.The system dynamics are described by exact integro-differential operator equations without any common approximations and they are simulated in this work by definite-number equations with stochastic initial conditions.This approach ensures the applicability of mature numerical methods and maintains computational complexity that remains largely invariant,even when dealing with more complex models.The high accuracy of our simulation is evident from a comparison with the results obtained from corresponding exact master equations,underscoring the reliability and precision of our method.

文摘The formation of donut-shaped penetration pore upon membrane fusion in a closed lipid membrane system is of biological significance,since such the structures extensively exist in living body with various functions.However,the related formation dynamics is unclear because of the limitation of experimental techniques.This work developed a new model of intra-vesicular fusion to elaborate the formation and stabilization of penetration pores by employing molecular dynamics simulations,based on simplified spherical lipid vesicle system,and investigated the regulation of membrane lipid composition.Results showed that penetration pore could be successfully formed based on the strategy of membrane fusion.The ease of intra-vesicular fusion and penetration pore formation was closely correlated with the lipid curvature properties,where negative spontaneous curvature of lipids seemed to be unfavorable for intra-vesicle fusion.Furthermore,the inner membrane tension around the pore was much larger than other regions,which governed the penetration pore size and stability.This work provided basic understanding for vesicle penetration pore formation and stabilization mechanisms.

文摘Recent advancements in nanotechnology have spotlighted the catalytic potential of nanozymes, particularly single-atom nanozymes(SANs), which are pivotal for innovations in biosensing and medical diagnostics. Among others, DNA stands out as an ideal biological regulator. Its inherent programmability and interaction capabilities allow it to significantly modulate nanozyme activity. This study delves into the dynamic interplay between DNA and molybdenum-zinc single-atom nanozymes(Mo-Zn SANs). Using molecular dynamics simulations, we uncover how DNA influences the peroxidase-like activities of Mo-Zn SANs, providing a foundational understanding that broadens the application scope of SANs in biosensing.With these insights as a foundation, we developed and demonstrated a model aptasensor for point-ofcare testing(POCT), utilizing a label-free colorimetric approach that leverages DNA-nanozyme interactions to achieve high-sensitivity detection of lysozyme. Our work elucidates the nuanced control DNA exerts over nanozyme functionality and illustrates the application of this molecular mechanism through a smartphone-assisted biosensing platform. This study not only underscores the practical implications of DNA-regulated Mo-Zn SANs in enhancing biosensing platforms, but also highlights the potential of single-atom nanozyme technology to revolutionize diagnostic tools through its inherent versatility and sensitivity.

文摘As coal mining depth increases,the combined effects of high stress,mining stress,and fault structures make dynamic impact hazards more frequent.The reproduction of dynamic impact phenomena is basis for studying their occurrence patterns and control mechanisms.Physical simulation test represents an efficacious methodology.However,there is currently a lack of simulation devices that can effectively simulate two types of dynamic impact phenomena,including high stress and fault slip dynamic impact.To solve aforementioned issues,the physical simulation test system for dynamic impact in deep roadways developed by authors is employed to carry out comparative tests of high stress and fault slip dynamic impact.The phenomena of high stress and fault slip dynamic impact are reproduced successfully.A comparative analysis is conducted on dynamic phenomena,stress evolution,roadway deformation,and support force.The high stress dynamic impact roadway instability mode,which is characterized by the release of high energy accompanied by symmetric damage,and the fault slip dynamic impact roadway instability mode,which is characterized by the propagation of unilateral stress waves accompanied by asymmetric damage,are clarified.On the basis,the differentiated control concepts for different types of dynamic impact in deep roadways are proposed.

文摘The effects of temperature and Re content on the mechanical properties,dislocation morphology,and deformation mechanism of γ-γ′phases nickel-based single crystal superalloys are investigated by using the molecular dynamics method through the model of γ-γ′phases containing hole defect.The addition of Re makes the dislocation distribution tend towards the γ phase.The higher the Re content,the earlier theγphase yields,while the γ′phase yields later.Dislocation bends under the combined action of the applied force and the resistance of the Re atoms to form a bend point.The Re atoms are located at the bend points and strengthen the alloy by fixing the dislocation and preventing it from cutting the γ′phase.Dislocations nucleate first in the γ phase,causing theγphase to deform plastically before the γ′phase.As the strain increases,the dislocation length first remains unchanged,then increases rapidly,and finally fluctuates and changes.The dislocation lengths in the γ phase are larger than those in the γ′phase at different temperatures.The dislocation length shows a decreasing tendency with the increase of the temperature.Temperature can affect movement of the dislocation,and superalloys have different plastic deformation mechanisms at low,medium and high temperatures.

文摘Objective To evaluate the antibacterial potential of bioactive compounds from Persicaria hydropiper(L.)(P.hydropiper)against bacterial virulence proteins through molecular docking(MD)and experimental validation.Methods Six bioactive compounds from P.hydropiper were investigated:catechin(CAT1),hyperin(HYP1),ombuin(OMB1),pinosylvin(PSV1),quercetin 3-sulfate(QSF1),and scutellarein(SCR1).Their binding affinities and potential binding pockets were assessed through MD against four bacterial target proteins with Protein Data Bank identifiers(PDB IDs):topoisomerase IV from Escherichia coli(E.coli)(PDB ID:3FV5),Staphylococcus aureus(S.aureus)gyrase ATPase binding domain(PDB ID:3U2K),CviR from Chromobacterium violaceum(C.violaceum)(PDB ID:3QP1),and glycosyl hydrolase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa(P.aeruginosa)(PDB ID:5BX9).Molecular dynamics simulations(MDS)were performed on the most promising compound-protein complexes for 50 nanoseconds(ns).Drug-likeness was evaluated using Lipinski's Rule of Five(RO5),followed by absorption,distribution,metabolism,excretion,and toxicity(ADMET)analysis using SwissADME and pkCSM web servers.Antibacterial activity was evaluated through disc diffusion assays,testing both individual compounds and combinations with conventional antibiotics[cefotaxime(CTX1,30μg/disc),ceftazidime(CAZ1,30μg/disc),and piperacillin(PIP1,100μg/disc)].Results MD revealed strong binding affinity(ranging from-9.3 to-5.9 kcal/mol)for all compounds,with CAT1 showing exceptional binding to 3QP1(-9.3 kcal/mol)and 5BX9(-8.4 kcal/mol).MDS confirmed the stability of CAT1-protein complexes with binding free energies of-84.71 kJ/mol(5BX9-CAT1)and-95.59 kJ/mol(3QP1-CAT1).Five compounds(CAT1,SCR1,PSV1,OMB1,and QSF1)complied with Lipinski's RO5 and showed favorable ADMET profiles.All compounds were non-carcinogenic,with CAT1 classified in the lowest toxicity class(VI).In antibacterial assays,CAT1 demonstrated significant activity against both gram-positive bacteria[Streptococcus pneumoniae(S.pneumoniae),S.aureus,and Bacillus cereus(B.cereus)][zone diameter of inhibition(ZDI):10-22 mm]and gram-negative bacteria[Acinetobacter baumannii(A.baumannii),E.coli,and P.aeruginosa](ZDI:14-27 mm).Synergistic effects were observed when CAT1 was combined with antibiotics and the growth inhibitory indices(GII)was 0.69-1.00.Conclusion P.hydropiper bioactive compounds,particularly CAT1,show promising antibacterial potential through multiple mechanisms,including direct inhibition of bacterial virulence proteins and synergistic activity with conventional antibiotics.The favorable pharmacological properties and low toxicity profiles support their potential development as therapeutic agents against bacterial infections.

文摘In nature,cavitation bubbles typically appear in clusters,engaging in interactions that create a variety of dynamicmotion patterns.To better understand the behavior ofmultiple bubble collapses and the mechanisms of interbubble interaction,this study employs molecular dynamics simulation combined with a coarse-grained force field.By focusing on collapsemorphology,local density,and pressure,it elucidates how the number and arrangement of bubbles influence the collapse process.The mechanisms behind inter-bubble interactions are also considered.The findings indicate that the collapse speed of unbounded bubbles located in lateral regions is greater than that of the bubbles in the center.Moreover,it is shown that asymmetrical bubble distributions lead to a shorter collapse time overall.

文摘Eutectic high entropy alloys are noted for their excellent castability and comprehensive mechanical properties.The excellent mechanical properties are closely related to the activation and evolution of deformation mechanisms at the atomic scale.In this work,AlCoCrFeNi2.1 alloy is taken as the research object.The mechanical behaviors and deformation mechanisms of the FCC and B2 single crystals with different orientations and the FCC/B2 composites with K-S orientation relationship during nanoindentation processes are systematically studied by molecular dynamics simulations.The results show that the mechanical behaviors of FCC single crystals are significantly orientation-dependent,meanwhile,the indentation force of[110]single crystal is the lowest at the elastic-plastic transition point,and that for[100]single crystal is the lowest in plastic deformation stage.Compared with FCC,the stress for B2 single crystals at the elastic-plastic transition point is higher.However,more deformation systems such as stacking faults,twins and dislocation loops are activated in FCC single crystal during the plastic deformation process,resulting in higher indentation force.For composites,the flow stress increases with the increase of B2 phase thickness during the initial stage of deformation.When indenter penetrates heterogeneous interface,the significantly increased deformation system in FCC phase leads to a significant increase in indentation force.The mechanical behaviors and deformation mechanisms depend on the component single crystal.When the thickness of the component layer is less than 15 nm,the heterogeneous interfaces fail to prevent the dislocation slip and improve the indentation force.The results will enrich the plastic deformation mechanisms of multi-principal eutectic alloys and provide guidance for the design of nanocrystalline metallic materials.

文摘Uranium–molybdenum(U–Mo) alloys are critical for nuclear power generation and propulsion because of their superior thermal conductivity, irradiation stability, and anti-swelling properties. This study explores the plastic deformation mechanisms of γ-phase U–Mo alloys using molecular dynamics(MD) simulations. In the slip model, the generalized stacking fault energy(GSFE) and the modified Peierls–Nabarro(P–N) model are used to determine the competitive relationships among different slip systems. In the twinning model, the generalized plane fault energy(GPFE) is assessed to evaluate the competition between slip and twinning. The findings reveal that among the three slip systems, the {110}<111>slip system is preferentially activated, while in the {112}<111> system, twinning is favored over slip, as confirmed by MD tensile simulations conducted in various directions. Additionally, the impact of Mo content on deformation behavior is emphasized. Insights are provided for optimizing process conditions to avoid γ → α′′ transitions, thereby maintaining a higher proportion of γ-phase U–Mo alloys for practical applications.
