Activity-driven polymer knotting for macromolecular topology engineering
Jia-Xiang Li, Song Wu, Li-Li Hao +2
Macromolecules can gain special properties by adopting knotted conformations, but engineering knotted macromolecules is a challenging task. Here we surprisingly observed that knott…
Fluidization and anomalous density fluctuations in 2D Voronoi cell tissues with pulsating activity
Zhu-Qin Li, Qun-Li Lei, Yu-qiang Ma
Cells not only can be motile by crawling but are also capable of non-motility active motions like periodic contraction or pulsation. In this work, based on a Voronoi cell model, we…
Self-Organized Time Crystal in Driven-Dissipative Quantum System
Ya-Xin Xiang, Qun-Li Lei, Zhengyang Bai +1
Continuous time crystals (CTCs) are characterized by sustained oscillations that break the time translation symmetry. Since the ruling out of equilibrium CTCs by no-go theorems, th…
Transformable Super-Isostatic Crystals Self-Assembled from Segment Colloidal Rods
Ji-Dong Hu, Ting Wang, Qun-Li Lei +1
Colloidal particles can spontaneously self-assemble into ordered structures, which not only can manipulate the propagation of light, but also vibration or phonons. Using Monte Carl…
Protein corona critically affects the bio-behaviors of SARS-CoV-2
Yue-wen Yin, Yan-jing Sheng, Min Wang +3
The outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a worldwide public health crisis. When the…
Uncovering the molecular mechanism for dual effect of ATP on phase separation in FUS solution
Chun-Lai Ren, Yue Shan, Pengfei Zhang +2
Recent studies reported that adenosine triphosphate (ATP) could inhibit as well as enhance the phase separation in prion-like proteins. The molecular mechanism underlying such a pu…
Accurate Evaluation on the Interactions of SARS-CoV-2 with Its Receptor ACE2 and Antibodies CR3022/CB6
Hong-ming Ding, Yue-wen Yin, Song-di Ni +2
The spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a global health crisis. The binding affinity…
Self-Assembly of Isostatic Self-Dual Colloidal Crystals
Qun-Li Lei, Wei Zheng, Feng Tang +3
Self-dual structures whose dual counterparts are themselves possess unique hidden symmetry, beyond the description of classical spatial symmetry groups. Here we propose a strategy…
Transition between globule and stretch states of a self-attracting chain in the repulsive active particle bath
Yi-qi Xia, Wen-jie Shan, Wen-de Tian +2
Folding and unfolding of biopolymers are often manipulated in experiment by tuning pH, temperature, single-molecule force or shear field. Here we carry out Brownian dynamics simula…
