- Molecular Dynamics Simulations Reveal PolyQ-Length-Dependent Conformational Changes in Huntingtin Exon-1: Implications for Environmental Co-Solvent Modulation of Aggregation-Prone States
Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by CAG-repeat expansion in HTT, which lengthens the polyglutamine (polyQ) tract in huntingtin (HTT) and promotes misfolding and aggregation. While polyQ-length-depe...
- A thermodynamic metric quantitatively predicts disordered protein partitioning and multicomponent phase behavior
Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of proteins mediate sequence-specific interactions underlying diverse cellular processes, including the formation of biomolecular condensates. Although IDRs str...
- Polymer-Residue Accessibility Shapes Sequence Dependence of Critical Temperatures for Phase Separation
Biological polymers, such as intrinsically disordered proteins, play a central role in cellular biology, including mediating phase separation and controlling activity of biological condensates. The ph...
- Lemniscate phase trajectories for high-fidelity GHZ state preparation in trapped-ion chains
In trapped-ion chains, multipartite GHZ states can be prepared natively with the help of a single bichromatic laser pulse. However, higher-order terms in the expansion in the Lamb-Dicke parameter η li...
- Disentangling High Harmonic Generation from Surface and Bulk States of a Topological Insulator
The discovery of topological phases has introduced a new dimension to materials science. Three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators (TIs) are a remarkable class of matter that is insulating in the ...
