Article Title: Computational Modeling of RNA Aptamers: Structure Prediction of the Apo State.
Article Snippet: RNA aptamers are single-stranded oligonucleotides that bind to specific molecular targets with high affinity and specificity.. To design aptamers for new applications, it is critical to understand the ligand binding mechanism in terms of the structure and dynamics of the ligand-bound and apo states.. The problem is that most of the NMR or X-ray crystal structures available for RNA aptamers are for ligand-bound states.

Article Title: Probing the Energy Landscape of Spectrin R15 and R16 and the Effects of Non-native Interactions.
Article Snippet: Understanding the details of a protein folding mechanism can be a challenging and complex task.. One system with an interesting folding behavior is the α-spectrin domain, where the R15 folds three-orders of magnitude faster than its homologues R16 and R17, despite having similar structures.. The molecular origins that explain these folding rate differences remain unclear, but our previous work revealed that a combined effect produced by non-native interactions could be a reasonable cause for these differences.

Article Title: Exploration of Surface Processes for Semiconductor Processing and Heterogeneous Catalysis
Article Snippet: Current methods to model the structure of amorphous materials include performing costly Ab-initio Molecular Dynamics (AIMD) melt-quench simulations[61], using relatively small, periodic structure samples to generate AIMD data to train a neural network or machine learned atomic potentials, [62, 56] or using Reverse Monte Carlo techniques to inverse experimental diffraction or structural data [63].
