Quick Coarse-grained kinetic Monte Carlo overviewStuart Collins
Overviews the motivation and underworkings of kinetic Monte Carlo, a computer simulation method used to study subjects from biological cell membranes to reactions on platinum surfaces. Then expands kMC to CGMC - a method for speeding up the simulation by averaging out details deemed unimportant to the overall outcome of the simulation.
Monte Carlo Simulations & Membrane Simulation and DynamicsArindam Ghosh
Monte Carlo simulations and molecular dynamics simulations are common computational methods to study membrane proteins and lipid bilayers. Monte Carlo simulations use random sampling to explore the behavior of complex systems. Molecular dynamics simulations numerically simulate particle motions under internal and external forces based on empirical energy functions. There are different levels of molecular dynamics simulations including atomistic, united atom, and coarse grained simulations, each with varying degrees of atomic detail and accessible timescales. Parameterized force fields are used to model interactions in lipid and protein systems. These computational methods provide insights into membrane and protein dynamics that are difficult to obtain experimentally.
Ionic Equilibria and Membrane PotentialCsilla Egri
The document discusses ionic equilibria and membrane potential, including the Nernst and Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz equations. It describes voltage-gated sodium and potassium channels, their structure and function, and how they contribute to the generation and repolarization of action potentials. The document also discusses channelopathies like paramyotonia congenita, a sodium channel mutation that causes muscle stiffness and weakness in response to cold temperatures due to impaired channel inactivation.
Ab initio protein structure prediction uses computational methods to predict a protein's 3D structure from its amino acid sequence. It relies on conformational searching to generate structure decoys and selecting native-like models. The key factors for success are an accurate energy function, efficient search methods like molecular dynamics or genetic algorithms, and effective selection of models close to the native structure. Model selection approaches include energy evaluations, compatibility scores, clustering of similar decoys, and identifying the lowest energy conformations.
From Atomistic to Coarse Grain Systems - Procedures & MethodsFrank Roemer
The physical and mathematical basis as well as the historical background of the most popular coarse graining methods (Reverse/Inverse Monte-Carlo, Iterative Boltzmann Inversion and Force Matching method) in the field of fluids and soft matter are presented here. In terms of lengths and time scale, I refer here to the classical coarse grain systems, which are in between the atomistic and mesoscale systems. The focus is on the path to derive the coarse grain force fields from reference data obtained from atomistic simulations.
Ion channels are pore-forming membrane proteins that selectively transport ions across cell membranes. They are classified based on their gating mechanism (voltage-gated or ligand-gated), the type of ion transported, and their localization. Voltage-gated channels open and close in response to changes in membrane potential, while ligand-gated channels open when specific ligands bind. Dysfunctions in ion channels can cause diseases. Ion channels are important drug targets, and several drugs like tetrodotoxin, ziconotide, benzodiazepines, and lidocaine act by modulating specific ion channels.
The document discusses the generation and propagation of action potentials in neurons. It begins by explaining the resting membrane potential, which arises from ion concentration gradients maintained by the sodium-potassium pump and potassium leakage channels. It then describes how an action potential is triggered when the membrane potential reaches a threshold, causing voltage-gated sodium channels to open and sodium ions to rush in, rapidly depolarizing the membrane. This wave of depolarization then propagates along the neuron as adjacent areas are triggered to reach threshold. The action potential involves sequential phases of depolarization, repolarization, and hyperpolarization.

This document discusses the x-ray crystal structure of the mammalian Shaker family potassium ion channel Kv1.2 determined by the authors. Three key conclusions are presented:
1) The voltage sensors that allow the channel to switch between conductive and nonconductive states are independent domains within the membrane.
2) The voltage sensors perform mechanical work on the pore via the S4-S5 linker helices, positioned to constrict or dilate the pore.
3) In the open conformation, two of the four conserved arginine residues on S4 are on a lipid-facing surface while two are buried within the voltage sensor.

It covers topics like lipid structure and properties, membrane structure and fluidity, membrane proteins and their interactions with lipids, and different classes of ligand-gated ion channels including ATP-sensitive potassium channels, G protein-gated potassium channels, cyclic nucleotide-gated channels involved in phototransduction, nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, and glutamate receptors. Experimental techniques like fluorescence recovery after photobleaching are also mentioned for studying membrane component diffusion.
1) The document discusses voltage-gated ion channels and how they generate action potentials. It provides historical context from Hodgkin and Huxley's experiments identifying sodium and potassium currents.
2) Single channel recordings show channels fluctuating between open and closed states, with open probability increasing with depolarization.
3) Voltage-gated sodium and potassium channels underlie the upstroke and repolarization of action potentials, respectively, through their changing open probabilities with membrane potential.
This document outlines the goals and objectives of a lecture on ion transport through membrane transport proteins. Specifically, it will discuss:
1. The three main classes of membrane transport proteins - transporters, ion channels, and ATP-powered pumps - and how they differ in transport rates and energy utilization.
2. Uniporter-catalyzed transport through GLUT1 glucose transporters as a representative example, including the Michaelis-Menten kinetics of transport and the current model of GLUT1's transport mechanism.
3. How ion movement through ion channels serves electrical signaling roles by changing membrane potential and intracellular ion concentrations, allowing rapid cell-environment communication.
This document provides an overview of a lecture on membrane structure and ligand-gated ion channels. The first part of the lecture will discuss the lipid composition and forces that contribute to the stability of the lipid bilayer membrane environment that ion channels reside in. The second part will present ion channels that are gated by intracellular molecules like ATP and G proteins, as well as those gated by extracellular molecules like acetylcholine and glutamate.

It lists 14 learning objectives related to understanding ion transport mechanisms, membrane potentials, the Nernst equation, Ohm's law, different types of ion channels, and patch clamp techniques. Key concepts covered include the distribution of ions inside and outside cells, equilibrium potentials, selectivity and permeation of potassium channels, and the role of PIP2 in channel gating.
This document contains 4 practice problems about membrane potentials and ion concentrations:
1. It asks the reader to calculate equilibrium potentials for Na+, K+, and Ca2+ ions in a muscle cell based on given concentrations, and asks which ion the membrane is most permeable to at the peak of an action potential.
2. It asks the reader to calculate the membrane potential across mitochondria given concentrations of a lipid-soluble ion on both sides of the membrane.
3. It asks whether a neurotransmitter that opens proton channels would be excitatory or inhibitory given internal and external pH levels and the resting potential.
4. It asks about the Nernst equilibrium potential for Cl- in skeletal muscle
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
