New liquid modeling technique predicts chemical reactions and lowers drug development costs

To reduce drug development cost a new way is developed which is more accurate & efficient for modeling molecules & chemical reactions in liquid solutions allowing the chemists to understand molecule synthesis process details. This software is developed for the need to better understand molecular reaction in liquids.
A molecule is expected to behave in a certain manner & the recent models allow us to predict its behavior in the vacuum only where the molecules are isolated.  We also know that drugs are supposed to interact with the liquid they surround like blood. Till now there is no way to predict the behavior of molecules in liquids where the drug will actually make the effect. After knowing this, the question how the molecules change on being put into the liquid surrounding them is answered.
In the quantum chemistry, modeling liquids is still a big challenge. It is still not known how to model water model &molecules model when they are dissolved. Molecules in the liquid surrounding face many disturbances for the state-of-the-art quantum models. Hence, quantum descriptions are not able to efficiently handle such intense uncertainties.
This new modeling technique elaborates the Non-Equilibrium Green Function method (NEGF) to the region of liquid quantum chemistry. It allows the chemists to calculate time-dependent non-equilibrium expectation values.
One of the main focuses of quantum chemistry is to predict the salvation energy i.e the energy change when a molecule is dissolved in a liquid. It is done by combining the quantum effects of molecules with the statistical uncertainties of a liquid environment. This explicitly can be done for any kind of liquid and dissolved molecule.

Photosynthetic protein structure that harvests and traps infrared light

Scientist finds the solution for the structure of a photosynthetic protein in plants to know how near-infrared light is converted into electrical charge. This study explores the insight of the efficiency & limits to the photosynthesis process i.e life-giving process. The chlorophyll used by the plants & algae to absorb energy from sun initiates photosynthesis at wavelength up to 720nm. This is the red part of the light spectrum ranging in the visibility region for the human eye. Bacteria, however, can extend this limit of wavelength into near infra-red region. The research was acted on photosynthetic LH1-RC complex obtained from bacterium Blastochloris Viridis, which has the ability to harvest and use light at wavelengths more than 1,000 nm. Cryo-electron microscopy is used to determine the structure of this complex which depicts how near-infrared light is converted to electrical charge which boosts cell metabolism in the bacterium allowing it to live at an extreme re...

New technique could provide insights about behavior of biomolecules in watery environments

Scientists have measured for the first time at the nanometer scale the characteristic patterns of folds responsible for proteins to know their three-dimensional shape in water with the help of the method developed earlier. With the help of this technique, scientists will be able to gain insights about the behavior of biomolecules in watery environments. These insights will result into increase in understanding the major diseases including Alzheimer's , that are related to "mistakes" in protein folding. We would not be able survive life if proteins didn't fold into precise patterns resulting into helices, sheets and other shapes that give proteins their three-dimensional structure.
