Over the past three decades, it has become increasingly clear that this framework is the most sensible approach to describe related structures, albeit technically much less tractable than the Ammann‐Kramer‐Neri tiling, which is the simplest icosahedral tiling geometry based on the two Ammann rhombohedra. Geometrical arrangements of cells pose a number of combinatorial problems that cannot be handled using simple linear algebra, making it infeasible to determine structures using the standard six‐dimensional scheme. This up‐to‐date review begins with the motivation, definition, and mathematical facts about the canonical cell tiling. Then the reader is taken through the zoo of concrete structures, from smaller periodic approximants to larger ones, along with an overview of the techniques and heuristics used to study them. The recent discovery of a quasiperiodic canonical cell tiling is also briefly illustrated. The latter half of this review surveys the atomistic modeling of real atomic structures in all the three existing structural families based on the decoration concept of the canonical cell tiling.","PeriodicalId":14686,"journal":{"name":"Israel Journal of Chemistry","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140310882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While these are considered as distinct phases, they share a common feature of being constructed from atomic clusters, either Tsai or Bergman. In this study, we employ Density Functional Theory to perform electronic structure calculations on the Zn<jats:sub>84.79</jats:sub>Mg<jats:sub>0.86</jats:sub>Sc<jats:sub>14.35</jats:sub> periodic approximant crystal phase. Our investigation involves systematically displacing atoms from Tsai cluster sites to Bergman cluster sites, allowing us to explore modifications in the electronic structure. Our findings reveal that the stability of the phase is influenced by the interaction between Zn‐4p and Sc‐3d orbitals. We observe that the sp‐d hybridization effect may play a more crucial role rather than Hume‐Rothery stabilization, as this observation holds true regardless of the presence or absence of periodic boundary conditions. Notably, the additional atom present in the Tsai structure serves as a significant electron acceptor in low‐energy orbitals. Its absence in Bergman structures results in a composition with fewer atoms possessing high‐energy d orbitals. This discovery provides a rationale for the frequent occurrence of Bergman phases with transition metals or rare earth elements, which occupy less than 10 % of the sites in the structure.","PeriodicalId":14686,"journal":{"name":"Israel Journal of Chemistry","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140311064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We first find natural candidates of dynamical subsystems to approximate the substitution dynamical system.

Transthyretin, TTR, is an amyloidogenic protein causing sporadic disease from the wild‐type protein during aging and from numerous different autosomal dominant familial mutations at earlier ages depending on the sequence of the hereditary variant. Until recently the disease process was poorly understood, and therapies were scarce. Over the past decades, spurred by clinical data, using chemical biology research, the mechanisms of TTR production and misfolding have been elucidated affording almost complete coverage of the TTR amyloidogenesis pathway to be targeted.
