A Metadynamics-Based Protocol for Sampling and Scoring Peptide Nanofibril Conformations
The morphology of a cross-β nanofibril, ranging from ribbon to rod conformations, is commonly determined by the amino acid sequence of its constituent peptides in addition to environmental factors such as pH and salt concentration. The u...

Entropy-Driven Stabilization of Highly Charged Peptoid Nanosheets
Free-standing two-dimensional (2D) peptoid nanosheets are promising for many aqueous applications, yet how the ionic environment governs their structure and thermal stability remains poorly understood. Here we design an ultrathin (∼2 nm)...

Glycosaminoglycans Recruit IAPP Oligomers on Lipid Bilayers
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are anionic polysaccharides that coexist with cell membranes in the extracellular matrix and have been shown to cooperatively enhance the aggregation of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) at zwitterionic lipid sur...

Molecular Mechanisms of the Cytotoxicity of an Anti-Cancer Peptide
The molecular mechanisms of anticancer peptides (ACPs) are largely unknown, which makes their rational design challenging. Here, we investigate the action of an ACP, the peptide NAF-144–67, to elucidate a detailed reaction sequence with ...

Interfacial Solute Organization Governs Mixed-Osmolyte Compatibility under Salt Stress
Mixed osmolytes protect charged biomolecular and nanomaterial interfaces under salt stress, but their combined effects are often nonadditive. Here we identify interfacial solute organization as a molecular criterion that determines wheth...

Molecular Origins of Catalysis in Random Heteropolymer Enzyme Mimics through All-Atom Simulations
Random heteropolymers (RHPs) have recently emerged as synthetic macromolecules capable of enzyme-inspired catalysis despite lacking defined secondary and tertiary structures. However, the molecular origins of their catalytic activity rem...

Membrane Diffusion Mode of Human Perforin-1 and Its Cholesterol Sensitivity
Perforin-1, a pore-forming protein, is essential for cytotoxic T lymphocyte- and natural killer cell-mediated immune responses. Human perforin-1 (hPRF) exists as a surface-bound monomer that diffuses on the membrane before oligomerizing ...

Composition-Controlled Hydrogen-Bond Restructuring and Interfacial Transport in Glycerol–Ethanol Mixtures for Orange Essential Oil Separation: Experiments and Multiscale Modeling
Hydrogen-bonded glycerol–ethanol (Gly–EtOH) mixtures are promising biodiesel-derived solvents for orange essential oil (OEO) separation. However, how solvent composition governs equilibrium and transport properties and selectivity remain...

Resolving Concentration Dependent Electrochemistry of Ether-Based Electrolytes for Lithium Metal Anodes
Concentrated ether-based electrolytes are effective in stabilizing lithium metal anodes, yet the molecular origins of the distinct concentration dependences of ionic conductivity, interfacial kinetics, and lithium reversibility remain un...
