SIDE models realistic biomolecular transition paths
—
in ChemistryWhat the study found The study found that SIDE, a Stochastic Integro-Differential Equation approach based on the Langevin bridge formalism, can generate realistic transition paths between different conformations of large biomolecular systems. In the authors' description, it produces smooth, low-energy trajectories and often recovers experimentally supported intermediate states. Why the authors say this matters The…
Heteroleptic carbones are predicted to be stable and often bent
—
in ChemistryWhat the study found The calculations suggest that the heteroleptic carbones L1-C-L2 are generally stable enough to be experimentally observed. Most of these complexes are predicted to have bent equilibrium structures, with two exceptions that are linear. Why the authors say this matters The authors conclude that comparing heteroleptic carbones with homoleptic species helps show…
