RNP-machineries thus play vital roles in gene expression and regulation. Recent advances in cryo-EM techniques provided a wealth of near-atomic-level resolution structures setting the basis for understanding how these fascinating multiscale complexes exert their diverse roles. However, these structures represent only isolated snapshots of the plastic and highly dynamic RNP-machineries and are thus insufficient to comprehensively assess their multifaceted mechanisms. In this review, we discuss the role and merit of all-atom simulations in disentangling the mechanism of eukaryotic RNA-based machineries responsible for RNA processing. We showcase how all-atom simulations can capture their large-scale functional movements, trace the signaling pathways that are at the root of their massive conformational remodeling, explain recognition mechanisms of specific RNA sequences, and, lastly, unravel the chemical mechanisms underlying the formation of functional RNA strands. Finally, we review the methodological pitfalls and outline future challenges in modeling key functional aspects of these large molecular engines with all-atom simulations. In addition to providing insights into the most basic processes that govern all forms of life, in-depth mechanistic comprehension of RNP-machineries offers a foundation for developing innovative therapeutic strategies against the variety of human diseases linked to deregulated RNA metabolism.This article is categorized under:\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":236,"journal":{"name":"Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Computational Molecular Science","volume":"13 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.4,"publicationDate":"2022-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"5796578","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}

Typically, such molecules are identified by screening large chemical libraries for desirable physicochemical properties and binding strength with the target protein. This traditional approach, however, has severe limitations as exhaustively screening every molecule in known chemical libraries is computationally infeasible. Furthermore, currently available molecular libraries are only a minuscule part of the entire set of possible drug-like molecular structures (drug-like chemical space). In this review, we discuss how the former limitation is addressed by modeling virtual screening as a search space problem and how these endeavors utilize machine learning to reduce the number of required computational experiments to identify top candidates. We follow that up by discussing generative methods that attempt to approximate the entire drug-like chemical space providing us a path to explore beyond the known drug-like chemical space. We place special emphasis on generative models that learn the marginal distributions conditioned on specific properties or receptor structures for efficient sampling of molecules. Through this review, we aim to highlight modern machine learning based methods that try to efficiently enhance our sampling capability beyond conventional screening methods which, in turn, would benefit drug design significantly. Therefore, we also encourage further methods of development that work on such important aspects of drug design.This article is categorized under:\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":236,"journal":{"name":"Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Computational Molecular Science","volume":"13 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.4,"publicationDate":"2022-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"5894133","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}

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method is considered the most promising method for producing ultrathin 2D materials and has continued to develop in recent years. First-principles calculations have provided important theoretical guidance for the CVD synthesis of 2D materials, and have played an increasingly important role in the field of material synthesis in recent years. In this review, we present recent advances in the growth mechanism of 2D materials, focusing on the theoretical research progress of four typical 2D materials: graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC), and phosphorene. Several aspects of the growth process are discussed in detail, including the decomposition of precursors, nucleation, growth kinetics, domain shape, and epitaxial and alignment of 2D crystals. Based on the understanding of these atomic-scale growth processes, strategies toward the wafer-scale growth of continuous and homogeneous 2D thin films are proposed and confirmed by experiments. In the final section, we summarize future challenges and opportunities in the computational studies of the growth mechanism of 2D materials.This article is categorized under:\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":236,"journal":{"name":"Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Computational Molecular Science","volume":"13 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.4,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"6139654","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}

Despite staggering successes, present-day approximations still struggle when the effects of electron–electron correlation play a prominent role. The limit in which the electronic Coulomb repulsion completely dominates the exchange–correlation functional offers a well-defined mathematical framework that provides insight for new approximations able to deal with strong correlation. In particular, the mathematical structure of this limit, which is now well-established thanks to its reformulation as an optimal transport problem, points to the use of very different ingredients (or features) with respect to the traditional ones used in present approximations. We focus on strategies to use these new ingredients to build approximations for computational chemistry and highlight future promising directions.This article is categorized under:\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":236,"journal":{"name":"Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Computational Molecular Science","volume":"13 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.4,"publicationDate":"2022-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/wcms.1634","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"5859825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
