Ab initio random model method facilitates 3D reconstruction of icosahedral particles.
Model-based, three-dimensional (3D) image reconstruction procedures require a starting model to initiate data analysis. We have designed an ab initio method, which we call the random model (RM) method, that automatically generates models to initiate structural analysis of icosahedral viruses imaged by cryo-electron microscopy. The robustness of the RM procedure was demonstrated on experimental ...
متن کاملAb initio random structure searching.
It is essential to know the arrangement of the atoms in a material in order to compute and understand its properties. Searching for stable structures of materials using first-principles electronic structure methods, such as density-functional-theory (DFT), is a rapidly growing field. Here we describe our simple, elegant and powerful approach to searching for structures with DFT, which we call a...
متن کاملAb initio reconstruction of metabolic pathways
We propose a new formulation for the problem of ab initio metabolic pathway reconstruction. Given a set of biochemical reactions together with their substrates and products, we consider the reactions as transfers of atoms between the chemical compounds and we look for successions of reactions transferring a maximal (or preset) number of atoms between a given source and sink compound. We state t...
متن کاملThree-dimensional reconstruction of icosahedral particles--the uncommon line.
The past few years have seen an explosion in the number of viral structures determined by icosahedral reconstruction from cryoelectron micrographs. The success of this work has depended upon a combination of the high-fidelity but low-contrast information contained in these images with efficient algorithms for determining particle orientation and three-dimensional structure. This review describe...
متن کاملChemical Enhancements in Shock-Accelerated Particles: Ab initio Simulations.
We study the thermalization, injection, and acceleration of ions with different mass/charge ratios, A/Z, in nonrelativistic collisionless shocks via hybrid (kinetic ions-fluid electrons) simulations. In general, ions thermalize to a postshock temperature proportional to A. When diffusive shock acceleration is efficient, ions develop a nonthermal tail whose extent scales with Z and whose normali...
