The amount of water in liquid water-ethanol mixtures can significantly affect how quickly ethanol molecules evaporate. Here, we study the mechanism and rate of evaporation of ethanol from pure liquid ethanol and ethanol/water binary mixtures through both unbiased molecular dynamics simulations and biased simulations using the umbrella sampling method. We first calculated the surface tension of pure ethanol and the mixtures, which are found to be consistent with those obtained in experiments. The rate of evaporation decreases as the surface tension increases with an increasing amount of water in ethanol. The free energy of evaporation is found to be positive, and it also increases with an increasing water concentration, which again can be linked to the slower evaporation rate for higher water concentration. The making and breaking of hydrogen bonds are found to play vital roles in the process of evaporation. The energy transfer to the evaporating molecule occurs through collision and hydrogen bonding interactions, which lead to the translation of the ethanol molecule from the surface to the vapor phase. Molecular identifications are made for the last interacting molecule, which provides the required kinetic energy to the evaporating ethanol molecule through collisional encounters before the breaking of the last hydrogen bond of the evaporating molecule.</p>","PeriodicalId":60,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Physical Chemistry B","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145032468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Upregulation of NR2F6 expression in tumor cells has been linked to proliferation and metastasis, while in immune cells NR2F6 inhibits antitumor T-cell responses. Small molecule modulation of NR2F6 activity might therefore be a novel strategy in cancer treatment, benefiting from this dual role of NR2F6. However, there are no molecular strategies available for targeting NR2F6, hampered among others by lack of structural insights and appropriate biochemical assays. To overcome these challenges, several noncanonical nuclear receptor coregulator peptide motifs were identified to be constitutively recruited to the NR2F6 ligand binding domain (LBD). Co-crystallization of the NR2F6 LBD with a peptide from the coregulator Nuclear Receptor Binding SET Domain Protein 1 (NSD1) enabled, for the first time, the structural elucidation of the unliganded (apo) form of NR2F6. This revealed an autorepressed, homodimeric LBD conformation in which helix 12 folds over the canonical coregulator binding site, generating an alternative contact surface for NSD1 binding. Screening of a focused library of covalent NR probes identified compounds that preferentially target a cysteine residue near the NSD1 binding site, inhibiting NR2F6 coregulator recruitment. Combined, these results provide structural insights into the ligand-independent transcriptional activity of NR2F6 and may serve as a starting point for the development of novel NR2F6 modulators.</p>","PeriodicalId":11,"journal":{"name":"ACS Chemical Biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145032391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, a reactive machine learning potential (RMLP) model is developed to accelerate transition state optimizations and ligand screening for organometallic catalysis based on an automated transition state database construction method and a higher-order equivariant message passing neural network. In case studies involving the ethylene hydrogenation reaction catalyzed by organometallic catalysts, RMLP rapidly predicts potential energy surfaces along intrinsic reaction coordinate paths, achieving speeds nearly 3 orders of magnitude faster than those of rigorous quantum chemistry calculations.
