ABSTRACTTo tackle the time scales required to study complex chemical reactions, methods performing accelerated molecular dynamics are necessary even with the recent advancement in high-performance computing. A number of different acceleration techniques are available. Here we explore potential synergies between two popular acceleration methods – Parallel Replica Dynamics (PRD) and Collective Variable Hyperdynamics (CVHD), by analysing the speedup obtained for the pyrolysis of n-dodecane. We observe that PRD?+?CVHD provides additional speedup to CVHD by reaching the required time scales for the reaction at an earlier wall-clock time. Although some speedup is obtained with the additional replicas, we found that the effectiveness of the inclusion of PRD is depreciated for systems where there is a dramatic increase in reaction rates induced by CVHD. Similar observations were made in the simulation of ethylene-carbonate/Li system, which is inherently more reactive than pyrolysis, indicate that the speedup obtained via the combination of the two acceleration methods can be generalised to most practical chemical systems. 相似文献

Molecular mechanisms regulating human trophoblast differentiation remain poorly understood due to difficulties in obtaining primary tissues from very early developmental stages in humans. Therefore, the use of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) as a source for generating trophoblast tissues is of significant interest. Trophoblast-like cells have been obtained through treatment of hESCs with bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) or inhibitors of activin/nodal/transforming growth factor-β signaling, or through protocols involving formation of embryoid bodies (EBs); however, there is controversy over whether hESC-derived cells are indeed analogous to true trophoblasts found in vivo. In this review, we provide an overview of previously described efforts to obtain trophoblasts from hESCs. We also discuss the merits and limitations of hESCs as a source of trophoblast derivatives. 相似文献
