The processes at the molecule level, which are the source of the ergodic properties of thermodynamic systems, are analyzed with special reference to entropy. The entropy change produced by increasing the temperature T depends on the increase of velocity of the particles with a decrease of the squared mean sojourn time (τm 2) and gradual loss of instant energy intensity. The diminution, which is due to dilution, of the number of terms in the summation of cumulative so ...[more]

Large Energy Capacitive High-Entropy Lead-Free Ferroelectrics.

Project description:Advanced lead-free energy storage ceramics play an indispensable role in next-generation pulse power capacitors market. Here, an ultrahigh energy storage density of ~ 13.8 J cm-3 and a large efficiency of ~ 82.4% are achieved in high-entropy lead-free relaxor ferroelectrics by increasing configuration entropy, named high-entropy strategy, realizing nearly ten times growth of energy storage density compared with low-entropy material. Evolution of energy storage performance and domain structure with increasing configuration entropy is systematically revealed for the first time. The achievement of excellent energy storage properties should be attributed to the enhanced random field, decreased nanodomain size, strong multiple local distortions, and improved breakdown field. Furthermore, the excellent frequency and fatigue stability as well as charge/discharge properties with superior thermal stability are also realized. The significantly enhanced comprehensive energy storage performance by increasing configuration entropy demonstrates that high entropy is an effective but convenient strategy to design new high-performance dielectrics, promoting the development of advanced capacitors .

Entropy from state probabilities: hydration entropy of cations.

Project description:Entropy is an important energetic quantity determining the progression of chemical processes. We propose a new approach to obtain hydration entropy directly from probability density functions in state space. We demonstrate the validity of our approach for a series of cations in aqueous solution. Extensive validation of simulation results was performed. Our approach does not make prior assumptions about the shape of the potential energy landscape and is capable of calculating accurate hydration entropy values. Sampling times in the low nanosecond range are sufficient for the investigated ionic systems. Although the presented strategy is at the moment limited to systems for which a scalar order parameter can be derived, this is not a principal limitation of the method. The strategy presented is applicable to any chemical system where sufficient sampling of conformational space is accessible, for example, by computer simulations.

Simple Entropy Terms for End-Point Binding Free Energy Calculations.

Project description:We introduce a number of computationally inexpensive modifications to the MM/PBSA and MM/GBSA estimators for binding free energies, which are based on average receptor-ligand interaction energies in simulations of a noncovalent complex, to improve the treatment of entropy: second- and higher-order terms in a cumulant expansion and a confining potential on ligand external degrees of freedom. We also consider a filter for snapshots where ligands have drifted from the initial binding pose. The variations were tested on six sets of systems for which binding modes and free energies have previously been experimentally determined. For some data sets, none of the tested estimators led to results significantly correlated with measured free energies. In data sets with nontrivial correlation, a ligand RMSD cutoff of 3 Å and a second-order truncation of the cumulant expansion was found to be comparable or better than the average interaction energy by several statistical metrics.

Wrapping Up Hydrophobic Hydration: Locality Matters.

Project description:Water, being the universal solvent, acts as a competing agent in fundamental processes, such as folding, aggregation or biomolecular recognition. A molecular understanding of hydrophobic hydration is of central importance to understanding the subtle free energy differences, which dictate function. Ab initio and classical molecular dynamics simulations yield two distinct hydration water populations in the hydration shell of solvated tert-butanol noted as "HB-wrap" and "HB-hydration2bulk". The experimentally observed hydration water spectrum can be dissected into two modes, centered at 164 and 195 cm-1. By comparison to the simulations, these two bands are attributed to the "HB-wrap" and "HB-hydration2bulk" populations, respectively. We derive a quantitative correlation between the population in each of these two local water coordination motifs and the temperature dependence of the solvation entropy. The crossover from entropy to enthalpy dominated solvation at elevated temperatures, as predicted by theory and observed experimentally, can be rationalized in terms of the distinct temperature stability and thermodynamic signatures of "HB-wrap" and "HB-hydration2bulk".

Entropy, Free Energy, and Symbolization: Free Association at the Intersection of Psychoanalysis and Neuroscience.

Project description:Both a method of therapy and an exploration of psychic reality, free association is a fundamental element of psychoanalytical practices that refers to the way a patient is asked to describe what comes spontaneously to mind in the therapeutic setting. This paper examines the role of free association from the point of view of psychoanalysis and neuroscience in order to improve our understanding of therapeutic effects induced by psychoanalytic therapies and psychoanalysis. In this regard, we first propose a global overview of the historical origins of the concept of free association in psychoanalysis and examine how Freud established its principles. Then, from Freud's distinction between primary and secondary processes, we proceed to compare the psychoanalytic model with research originating from cognitive psychology and neuroscience. The notions of entropy and free energy appear particularly relevant at the intersection of these different domains. Finally, we propose the notion of symbolizing transmodality to describe certain specificities of symbolization processes within free association and we summarize the main functions of free association in psychoanalytic practices.

Thermal surface free energy and stress of iron.

Project description:Absolute values of surface energy and surface stress of solids are hardly accessible by experiment. Here, we investigate the temperature dependence of both parameters for the (001) and (110) surface facets of body-centered cubic Fe from first-principles modeling taking into account vibrational, electronic, and magnetic degrees of freedom. The monotonic decrease of the surface energies of both facets with increasing temperature is mostly due to lattice vibrations and magnetic disorder. The surface stresses exhibit nonmonotonic behaviors resulting in a strongly temperature dependent excess surface stress and surface stress anisotropy.

Hydration Free Energy from Orthogonal Space Random Walk and Polarizable Force Field.

Project description:The orthogonal space random walk (OSRW) method has shown enhanced sampling efficiency in free energy calculations from previous studies. In this study, the implementation of OSRW in accordance with the polarizable AMOEBA force field in TINKER molecular modeling software package is discussed and subsequently applied to the hydration free energy calculation of 20 small organic molecules, among which 15 are positively charged and five are neutral. The calculated hydration free energies of these molecules are compared with the results obtained from the Bennett acceptance ratio method using the same force field, and overall an excellent agreement is obtained. The convergence and the efficiency of the OSRW are also discussed and compared with BAR. Combining enhanced sampling techniques such as OSRW with polarizable force fields is very promising for achieving both accuracy and efficiency in general free energy calculations.

Inner pore hydration free energy controls the activation of big potassium channels.

Project description:Hydrophobic gating is an emerging mechanism in regulation of protein ion channels where the pore remains physically open but becomes dewetted to block ion permeation. Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations have played a crucial role in understanding hydrophobic gating by providing the molecular details to complement mutagenesis and structural studies. However, existing studies rely on direct simulations and do not quantitatively describe how the sequence and structural changes may control the delicate liquid-vapor equilibrium of confined water in the pore of the channel protein. To address this limitation, we explore two enhanced sampling methods, namely metadynamics and umbrella sampling, to derive free-energy profiles of pore hydration in both the closed and open states of big potassium (BK) channels, which are important in cardiovascular and neural systems. It was found that metadynamics required substantially longer sampling times and struggled to generate stably converged free-energy profiles due to the slow dynamics of cooperative pore water diffusion even in the barrierless limit. Using umbrella sampling, well-converged free-energy profiles can be readily generated for the wild-type BK channels as well as three mutants with pore-lining mutations experimentally known to dramatically perturb the channel gating voltage. The results show that the free energy of pore hydration faithfully reports the gating voltage of the channel, providing further support for hydrophobic gating in BK channels. Free-energy analysis of pore hydration should provide a powerful approach for quantitative studies of how protein sequence, structure, solution conditions, and/or drug binding may modulate hydrophobic gating in ion channels.

Hydrophobic-hydration hydrophilic interaction (H3I) capturing intact glycopeptides

Project description:H3I was adopted to idetify the glycosylation of bovine fetuin, human ACE2 and SARS-CoV-2 S1 proteins. Both N- and O-linked glycopeptides are successfully captured with significant enrichment rate improvements, especially for O-glycopeptides with relatively lower hydrophilicity. The majority of N- and O-glycosylation within SARS-CoV-2 S1 and hACE2 proteins are characterized simultaneously by H3I strategy, including 10 novel O-glycosylation regions with important functions in viral fusion and antibody evasion.
