As a rule, an experiment carried out at school or in undergraduate study
courses is rather simple and not very informative. However, when the experiments
are to be performed using modern methods, they are often abstract and
difficult to understand. Here, we describe a quick and simple experiment,
namely the enzymatic characterization of ptyalin (human salivary amylase)
using a starch degradation assay. With the experimental setup presented here,
enzyme parameters, such as pH optimum, temperature optimum, chloride
dependence, and sensitivity to certain chemicals can be easily determined. This
experiment can serve as a good model for enzyme characterization in general,
as modern methods usually follow the same principle: determination of the
activity of the enzyme under different conditions. As different alleles occur in
humans, a random selection of test subjects will be quite different with regard
to ptyalin activities. Therefore, when the students measure their own ptyalin
activity, significant differences will emerge, and this will give them an idea of
the genetic diversity in human populations. The evaluation has shown that the
pupils have gained a solid understanding of the topic through this experiment.
An automated pipeline for comprehensive calculation of intermolecular interaction energies based on molecular force-fields using the Tinker molecular modelling package is presented. Starting with non-optimized chemically intuitive monomer structures, the pipeline allows the approximation of global minimum energy monomers and dimers, configuration sampling for various monomer-monomer distances, estimation of coordination numbers by molecular dynamics simulations, and the evaluation of differential pair interaction energies. The latter are used to derive Flory-Huggins parameters and isotropic particle-particle repulsions for Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD). The computational results for force fields MM3, MMFF94, OPLSAA and AMOEBA09 are analyzed with Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations and DPD simulations for a mixture of the non-ionic polyoxyethylene alkyl ether surfactant C10E4 with water to demonstrate the usefulness of the approach.
Stereo Camera Setup for 360° Digital Image Correlation to Reveal Smart Structures of Hakea Fruits
(2024)
About forty years after its first application, digital image correlation (DIC) has become an established method for measuring surface displacements and deformations of objects under stress. To date, DIC has been used in a variety of in vitro and in vivo studies to biomechanically characterise biological samples in order to reveal biomimetic principles. However, when surfaces of samples strongly deform or twist, they cannot be thoroughly traced. To overcome this challenge, different DIC setups have been developed to provide additional sensor perspectives and, thus, capture larger parts of an object’s surface. Herein, we discuss current solutions for this multi-perspective DIC, and we present our own approach to a 360 DIC system based on a single stereo-camera setup. Using this setup, we are able to characterise the desiccation-driven opening mechanism of two woody Hakea fruits over their entire surfaces. Both the breaking mechanism and the actuation of the two valves in predominantly dead plant material are models for smart materials. Based on these results, an evaluation of the setup for 360 DIC regarding its use in deducing biomimetic principles is given. Furthermore, we propose a way to improve and apply the method for future measurements.
An Augmented Multiphase Rail Launcher With a Modular Design: Extended Setup and Muzzle Fed Operation
(2024)
Inspired by the super-human performance of deep learning models in playing the game of Go after being presented with virtually unlimited training data, we looked into areas in chemistry where similar situations could be achieved. Encountering large amounts of training data in chemistry is still rare, so we turned to two areas where realistic training data can be fabricated in large quantities, namely a) the recognition of machine-readable structures from images of chemical diagrams and b) the conversion of IUPAC(-like) names into structures and vice versa. In this talk, we outline the challenges, technical implementation and results of this study.
Optical Chemical Structure Recognition (OCSR): Vast amounts of chemical information remain hidden in the primary literature and have yet to be curated into open-access databases. To automate the process of extracting chemical structures from scientific papers, we developed the DECIMER.ai project. This open-source platform provides an integrated solution for identifying, segmenting, and recognising chemical structure depictions in scientific literature. DECIMER.ai comprises three main components: DECIMER-Segmentation, which utilises a Mask-RCNN model to detect and segment images of chemical structure depictions; DECIMER-Image Classifier EfficientNet-based classification model identifies which images contain chemical structures and DECIMER-Image Transformer which acts as an OCSR engine which combines an encoder-decoder model to convert the segmented chemical structure images into machine-readable formats, like the SMILES string.
DECIMER.ai is data-driven, relying solely on the training data to make accurate predictions without hand-coded rules or assumptions. The latest model was trained with 127 million structures and 483 million depictions (4 different per structure) on Google TPU-V4 VMs
Name to Structure Conversion: The conversion of structures to IUPAC(-like) or systematic names has been solved algorithmically or rule-based in satisfying ways. This fact, on the other side, provided us with an opportunity to generate a name-structure training pair at a very large scale to train a proof-of-concept transformer network and evaluate its performance.
In this work, the largest model was trained using almost one billion SMILES strings. The Lexichem software utility from OpenEye was employed to generate the IUPAC names used in the training process. STOUT V2 was trained on Google TPU-V4 VMs. The model's accuracy was validated through one-to-one string matching, BLEU scores, and Tanimoto similarity calculations. To further verify the model's reliability, every IUPAC name generated by STOUT V2 was analysed for accuracy and retranslated using OPSIN, a widely used open-source software for converting IUPAC names to SMILES. This additional validation step confirmed the high fidelity of STOUT V2's translations.
Computational methods for the accurate prediction of protein folding based on amino acid sequences have been researched for decades. The field has been significantly advanced in recent years by deep learning-based approaches, like AlphaFold, RoseTTAFold, or ColabFold. Although these can be used by the scientific community in various, mostly free and open ways, they are not yet widely used by bench scientists in relevant fields such as protein biochemistry or molecular biology, who are often not familiar with software tools such as scripting notebooks, command-line interfaces or cloud computing. In addition, visual inspection functionalities like protein structure displays, structure alignments, and specific protein hotspot analyses are required as a second step to interpret and apply the predicted structures in ongoing research studies.
PySSA (Python rich client for visual protein Sequence to Structure Analysis) is an open Graphical User Interface (GUI) application combining the protein sequence to structure prediction capabilities of ColabFold with the open-source variant of the molecular structure visualisation and analysis system PyMOL to make both available to the scientific end-user. PySSA enables the creation of managed and shareable projects with defined protein structure prediction and corresponding alignment workflows that can be conveniently performed by scientists without specialised computer skills or programming knowledge on their local computers. Thus, PySSA can help make protein structure prediction more accessible for end-users in protein chemistry and molecular biology as well as be used for educational purposes. It is openly available on GitHub, alongside a custom graphical installer executable for the Windows operating system: https://github.com/urban233/PySSA/wiki/Installation-for-Windows-Operating-System.
To demonstrate the capabilities of PySSA, its usage in a protein mutation study on the protein drug Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 (BMP2) is described: the structure prediction results indicate that the previously reported BMP2-2Hep-7M mutant, which is intended to be less prone to aggregation, does not exhibit significant spatial rearrangements of amino acid residues interacting with the receptor.
The DECIMER.ai Project
(2024)
Over the past few decades, the number of publications describing chemical structures and their metadata has increased significantly. Chemists have published the majority of this information as bitmap images along with other important information as human-readable text in printed literature and have never been retained and preserved in publicly available databases as machine-readable formats. Manually extracting such data from printed literature is error-prone, time-consuming, and tedious. The recognition and translation of images of chemical structures from printed literature into machine-readable format is known as Optical Chemical Structure Recognition (OCSR). In recent years, deep-learning-based OCSR tools have become increasingly popular. While many of these tools claim to be highly accurate, they are either unavailable to the public or proprietary. Meanwhile, the available open-source tools are significantly time-consuming to set up. Furthermore, none of these offers an end-to-end workflow capable of detecting chemical structures, segmenting them, classifying them, and translating them into machine-readable formats.
To address this issue, we present the DECIMER.ai project, an open-source platform that provides an integrated solution for identifying, segmenting, and recognizing chemical structure depictions within the scientific literature. DECIMER.ai comprises three main components: DECIMER-Segmentation, which utilizes a Mask-RCNN model to detect and segment images of chemical structure depictions; DECIMER-Image Classifier EfficientNet-based classification model identifies which images contain chemical structures and DECIMER-Image Transformer which acts as an OCSR engine which combines an encoder-decoder model to convert the segmented chemical structure images into machine-readable formats, like the SMILES string.
A key strength of DECIMER.ai is that its algorithms are data-driven, relying solely on the training data to make accurate predictions without any hand-coded rules or assumptions. By offering this comprehensive, open-source, and transparent pipeline, DECIMER.ai enables automated extraction and representation of chemical data from unstructured publications, facilitating applications in chemoinformatics and drug discovery.
Unsupervised physics-informed deep learning can be used to solve computational physics problems by training neural networks to satisfy the underlying equations and boundary conditions without labeled data. Parameters such as network architecture and training method determine the training success. However, the best choice is unknown a priori as it is case specific. Here, we investigated network shapes, sizes, and types for unsupervised physics-informed deep learning of the two-dimensional Reynolds averaged flow around cylinders. We trained mixed-variable networks and compared them to traditional models. Several network architectures with different shape factors and sizes were evaluated. The models were trained to solve the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations incorporating Prandtl’s mixing length turbulence model. No training data were deployed to train the models. The superiority of the mixed-variable approach was confirmed for the investigated high Reynolds number flow. The mixed-variable models were sensitive to the network shape. For the two cylinders, differently deep networks showed superior performance. The best fitting models were able to capture important flow phenomena such as stagnation regions, boundary layers, flow separation, and recirculation. We also encountered difficulties when predicting high Reynolds number flows without training data.
