[HTML][HTML] The chemical bond in external electric fields: Energies, geometries, and vibrational Stark shifts of diatomic molecules

S Sowlati-Hashjin, CF Matta - The Journal of chemical physics, 2013 - pubs.aip.org
It is shown that the response of molecular properties of diatomics such as the total energy,
the bond length, and the vibrational Stark shift to an external homogenous electric field (EF) …

Insights into the polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) mechanism of action on bacterial membrane and DNA: A molecular dynamics study

S Sowlati-Hashjin, P Carbone… - The Journal of Physical …, 2020 - ACS Publications
Polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) is a cationic polymer with antimicrobial and antiviral
properties. It has been commonly accepted that the antimicrobial activity is due to the ability …

Variational autoencoder for design of synthetic viral vector serotypes

S Lyu, S Sowlati-Hashjin, M Garton - Nature Machine Intelligence, 2024 - nature.com
Recent, rapid advances in deep generative models for protein design have focused on small
proteins with lots of data. Such models perform poorly on large proteins with limited natural …

Biphasic proton transport mechanism for uncoupling proteins

A Ardalan, S Sowlati-Hashjin, H Oduwoye… - The Journal of …, 2021 - ACS Publications
It has been suggested that uncoupling proteins (UCPs) transport protons via interconversion
between two conformational states: one in the “cytoplasmic state” and the other in the “…
