Markus Rauhalahti (University of Helsinki)

“Probing into quinone binding in respiratory complex 1 using machine learning methods”

Abstract: Quinone binding is a central step in the mechanism of respiratory complex 1, leading to global structural changes related to proton pumping, and to transferring electrons to other components in the electron transfer chain. In this talk, some methods and results on using machine learning on molecular dynamics trajectories are presented, focusing on the relationship between quinone binding and the change in protein structure.

Abstract: We show that the first law for the Kerr-NUT spacetime is straightforwardly established with the surface charge method. The entropy is explicitly found as a charge and its value is not proportional to the horizon area. We conclude that there are unavoidable contributions from the Misner strings to the charges, still the mass and angular momentum gets standard values. However, there are no independent charges associated with the Misner strings.
