Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Subatomic Particles

Subatomic Particles

Dalton was only partially correct about the particles that make up matter. All matter is composed of atoms, and atoms are composed of three smaller subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. These three particles account for the mass and the charge of an atom.

Equilibrium Conditions for a Particle

Equilibrium Conditions for a Particle

When an object is in equilibrium, it is either at rest or moving with a constant velocity. There are two types of equilibrium: static and dynamic. Static equilibrium occurs when an object is at rest, while dynamic equilibrium occurs when an object is moving with a constant velocity. In both cases, there must be a balance of forces acting on the object.
To understand the concept of equilibrium, let us first consider the forces acting on an object. When different forces act on an object, they can...

Area of Science:

Multiscale modeling of nanoparticle dynamics
Statistical mechanics and computational physics

Background:

Viruses and nanoparticles exhibit both microscopic and macroscopic characteristics.
Existing multiscale analyses face challenges due to internal atomic dynamics and potential overcounting of degrees of freedom.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a robust method for multiscale analysis of the all-atom Liouville equation for nanoparticles.
To overcome technical difficulties in removing secular behavior for accurate dynamics description.

Main Methods:

Introduction of a "nanocanonical" ensemble method.
Facilitation of multiscale analysis of the all-atom Liouville equation.
Ensuring complete removal of secular behavior in the N-atom probability density.

Main Results:

Successfully overcomes technical challenges in multiscale modeling of nanoparticle dynamics.
Enables the derivation of Fokker-Planck-type equations without secular behavior.
Provides a framework for parameter-free universal models based on calibrated interatomic force fields.

Conclusions:

The nanocanonical ensemble method offers a powerful tool for understanding complex nanoparticle systems.
This approach has significant potential for modeling viral migration, phase transitions, and disassembly in various media.
