Cooperative Allosteric Transitions01:58

Cooperative Allosteric Transitions

8.9K
Cooperative allosteric transitions can occur in multimeric proteins, where each subunit of the protein has its own ligand-binding site. When a ligand binds to any of these subunits, it triggers a conformational change that affects the binding sites in the other subunits; this can change the affinity of the other sites for their respective ligands. The ability of the protein to change the shape of its binding site is attributed to the presence of a mix of flexible and stable segments in the...

Phase Transitions

23.3K
Whether solid, liquid, or gas, a substance's state depends on the order and arrangement of its particles (atoms, molecules, or ions). Particles in the solid pack closely together, generally in a pattern. The particles vibrate about their fixed positions but do not move or squeeze past their neighbors. In liquids, although the particles are closely spaced, they are randomly arranged. The position of the particles are not fixed—that is, they are free to move past their neighbors to...

Phase Transitions: Vaporization and Condensation

21.5K
The physical form of a substance changes on changing its temperature. For example, raising the temperature of a liquid causes the liquid to vaporize (convert into vapor). The process is called vaporization—a surface phenomenon. Vaporization occurs when the thermal motion of the molecules overcome the intermolecular forces, and the molecules (at the surface) escape into the gaseous state. When a liquid vaporizes in a closed container, gas molecules cannot escape. As these gas phase molecules...

Phase Transitions: Sublimation and Deposition

20.3K
Some solids can transition directly into the gaseous state, bypassing the liquid state, via a process known as sublimation. At room temperature and standard pressure, a piece of dry ice (solid CO2) sublimes, appearing to gradually disappear without ever forming any liquid. Snow and ice sublimate at temperatures below the melting point of water, a slow process that may be accelerated by winds and the reduced atmospheric pressures at high altitudes. When solid iodine is warmed, the solid sublimes...

Area of Science:

  • Physics and Computer Science
  • Machine Learning Applications in Physical Sciences

Background:

  • Classifying states of matter and phase transitions is a complex machine learning challenge.

Main Methods:

  • Introduced a pair of discriminative cooperative networks (DCNs) for unsupervised phase transition detection.
  • Employed an active contour model (snake) from computer vision to host the DCNs in 2D parameter spaces.
  • The snake actively moves and learns within the parameter space to locate phase boundaries.

Main Results:

  • The DCNs successfully detected phase transitions from fully unlabeled data.
  • The scheme demonstrated efficiency in handling two-dimensional parameter spaces.
  • The active contour model with DCNs automatically located phase boundaries.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed unsupervised machine learning scheme offers an efficient method for identifying phase transitions.
  • This approach advances the application of machine learning in analyzing physical systems and phase diagrams.
  • The integration of computer vision techniques enhances the automated discovery of physical phenomena.
