These multivalent proteins can bind to distant binding sites along the chromatin backbone and bring them together in spatial proximity, leading to collapsed conformations. Recently, it has been suggested that these proteins not only drive the collapse of the chromatin polymer but also reswelling at higher concentrations. In this study, we investigate the physical mechanisms underlying this unexpected reswelling behavior. We use the Langevin dynamics simulation of a coarse-grained homopolymer to investigate the effects of the valencies of both the binders and the monomers on the polymer conformations. We find that while the extent of collapse of the polymer is strongly dependent on the binder valency, the extent of reswelling is largely determined by the monomer valency. Furthermore, we also discovered two different physical mechanisms that drive the reswelling of the polymer-excluded volume effects and loss of long-range loops. Finally, we obtain a classification map to determine the regimes in which each of these mechanisms is the dominant factor leading to polymer reswelling.","PeriodicalId":15313,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Physics","volume":"162 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144093853","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}

Computer simulations can be instrumental in elucidating early stages of the assembly process, where direct experimental observations are difficult to obtain. In this paper, we report a computational study on the pathway complexities in aqueous mixtures of hydrophobic tripeptides that self-assemble into amorphous nanoscale objects. We introduce a new algorithmic approach for \"complete accounting\" of the simulation data in terms of rearrangements of spatial clusters spanning multiple length and time scales without relying on a priori assumptions. The salient features of an assembly mechanism were analyzed by focusing on four types of \"events\" encompassing all possible redistribution of molecules among interacting clusters. The event tracking analysis of the dynamics of spontaneous assemblies observed in fully atomistic molecular dynamics trajectories of tri-phenylalanine, tri-leucine, and tri-isoleucine revealed non-classical pathways with a clear trend in terms of spatio-temporal hierarchy. The discernible differences between latter two systems, where the building blocks are constitutional isomers, were particularly striking. Tri-phenylalanine assembled by a strongly hierarchical mechanism involving fusions of clusters of varying sizes. On the other hand, tri-isoleucine mostly followed a ripening type growth process, where isolated molecules or small molecular clusters attached to a single growing cluster. The tri-leucine exhibited an intermediate behavior with subtle differences from other two systems. These results underscored the effectiveness of our new analysis protocol in deciphering pathway complexities in molecular assemblies hitherto unreported in the literature.","PeriodicalId":15313,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Physics","volume":"162 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144093862","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}

Our investigation complements the simulation studies of the same process within this special issue. It provides information about both electronic state population and structural dynamics through well-separable inelastic and elastic electron scattering signatures. We observe the depopulation of the photoexcited S2 state of cyclobutanone with n3s Rydberg character through its inelastic electron scattering signature with a time constant of (0.29 ± 0.2) ps toward the S1 state. The S1 state population undergoes ring-opening via a Norrish Type-I reaction, likely while passing through a conical intersection with S0. The corresponding structural changes can be tracked by elastic electron scattering signatures. These changes appear with a delay of (0.14 ± 0.05) ps with respect to the initial photoexcitation, which is less than the S2 depopulation time constant. This behavior provides evidence for the ballistic nature of the ring-opening once the S1 state is reached. The resulting biradical species react further within (1.2 ± 0.2) ps via two rival fragmentation channels yielding ketene and ethylene, or propene and carbon monoxide. Our study showcases the value of both gas-phase ultrafast diffraction studies as an experimental benchmark for nonadiabatic dynamics simulation methods and the limits in the interpretation of such experimental data without comparison with such simulations.","PeriodicalId":15313,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Physics","volume":"162 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143993976","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}

Since their introduction in 2004 and first use in developing a fully permutationally invariant potential for the highly fluxional cation CH5+, PIPs have found widespread use in developing machine learned potentials (MLPs) for isolated molecules, chemical reactions, clusters, condensed phase, and materials. More than 100 potentials have been reported using PIPs. The popularity of PIPs for MLPs stems from their fundamental property of being invariant with respect to permutations of like atoms; this is a fundamental property of potential energy surfaces. This is achieved using global descriptors and, thus, without using an atom-centered approach (which is manifestly fully permutationally invariant). PIPs have been used directly for linear regression fitting of electronic energies and gradients for complex energy landscapes to chemical reactions with numerous product channels. PIPs have also been used as inputs to neural network and Gaussian process regression methods and in many-body (atom-centered, water monomer, etc.) applications, notably for gold standard potentials for water. Here, we focus on the progress and usage of PIPs since 2018, when the last review of PIPs was done by our group.","PeriodicalId":15313,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Physics","volume":"162 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143966156","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}
