we're joined by Dr. Andrey Kovalevsky, Senior Scientist in Structural Biology & Biochemistry at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Andrey and his team used neutrons and x-rays to map part of the internal structure of the coronavirus to create an accurate 3-D model. Specifically, the scientists mapped the main protease (Mpro), an enzyme involved in the virus replication, to which they had added a preliminary small molecule discovered using high-speed computer screening and virtual reality (VR). Using the MedChem tool in Nanome to look at the enzyme model, the scientists virtually constructed different small molecules by modifying their structures to see if any newly designed compounds could fit, or bind, to a key site on the Mpro enzyme surface. A strong enough binding could inhibit, or block, the enzyme from functioning, which is vital to stopping the virus from multiplying in patients with COVID-19. References: Kneller et al. (2021).

Nanome scientists are joined by Dr. Robert Pearlstein and Dr. Hongbin Wan, of Novartis, who share with us their recent publication on the application of biodynamics theory to characterize the structural dynamics of substrate-induced activation under non-equilibrium conditions. Biodynamics is a first principles multi-scale physics-based theory on the general mechanisms by which cellular functions are conveyed by dynamic multi-molecular/ionic systems and by which molecular and multi-molecular systems are powered by covalent and non-covalent forms of free energy (solvation free energy in the latter case). In this video, we cover the transduction of solvation free energy into dynamic molecular structure and drug-target binding exemplified by COVID Mpro inhibition.Reference: Wan, H., Aravamuthan, V. & Pearlstein, R.

In this webinar Zoran Radić, Adjunct Professor at UC San Diego, Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, shares insights into the catalytic core of Acetylcholinesterase and the new perspective on molecular analysis enabled by Virtual Reality.Atomic details of molecular 3D structures reveal the basis for understanding the catalytic power of enzyme molecules. This is why the correct perception of macromolecular architecture is greatly facilitated by immersive visualization and molecule manipulation in VR.When offending inhibitors compromise the optimally evolved geometry of enzymes finding out appropriate correcting tools becomes a challenge. Prof. Radić peek into the active center of one of the most powerful biological catalysts, the enzyme Acetylcholinesterase, and dissect approaches his research team uses to recover enzyme catalytic activity upon covalent modification by some of the most toxic inhibitors, such as Novichok organophosphate poisons.Highlights: - Understanding spatial impaction of Novichok-inhibited acetylcholinesterase is greatly facilitated by VR- 3D structures of Acetylcholinesterase help explain its catalysis and provide a template for structure-based design while revealing an unexpected paradox- Structure-based analysis aided by VR accelerates the creation and refinement of antidotes against acetylcholinesterase poisoning

Zero to Start VR Podcast: Unity development from concept to Oculus test channel
We're on lock down! Last week on March 15th Berkeley, then two days later, the state of California issued a Stay at Home order that moved us from the basement of the matrix and onto Zoom. What is an essential business and does it include cannabis clubs? Will social distancing increase VR adoption or will the supply chain limit VR to industry and early adopters? Are we living in a simulation sparked by alien technology? We contemplate our new reality and re-cap our encounter with an Oculus Rift install bug from 2016 that has us pivoting yet again in search of a way forward.

Dr. Zoran Radic is a scientist working at the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science at UC San Diego, where he focuses his research on nerve agents and the development of good antidotes that have the ability to treat or even prevent nerve gas toxicity. He's using a tool from a company by the name Nanome that allows for virtual reality 3D visualization and analysis of molecules that could function as antidotes to a range of toxic substances. He explains that this tool allows scientists to observe and examine with the natural senses compounds that are microscopic, which is opening the door to an unprecedented level of understanding of the ways nerve agents and antidotes interact in the body and with one another. On today's episode, Dr. Radic also discusses the mechanisms of the most common nerve agents that effectively disable normal neurotransmission in our bodies, which means disabling our ability to control bodily movements and breathe. He explains why developing antidotes has been so challenging, how the Nanome 3D tool is aiding in this process, his research on a particular class of substances that could treat a wide range of toxicities, and what he predicts will happen over the next few years in this exciting field of research.

Steve McCloskey, founder, and CEO of Nanome (nanome.ai) delivers an interesting overview of their virtual reality solutions for scientists and engineers—solutions that could potentially stimulate discovery of disease treatment and even cure. McCloskey studied nanoengineering at the University of California, San Diego where his work was primarily focused on emerging technologies applied to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). While at UC San Diego, McCloskey worked with Ken Vecchio, the founding chair of the nanoengineering department, as they set the foundation for the Nanoengineering Materials Research Center. They were instrumental in the development of thermodynamic processing methods for iron-based superelastic alloys. McCloskey's passion for the field led him to launch Nanome as a vehicle to build virtual reality solutions for scientists and engineers working at the nanoscale. Specifically, Nanome's team spends a significant amount of time exploring protein engineering and small molecule drug development. McCloskey's company, Nanome, transforms our interaction with, and understanding of, science, by providing a virtual world where users can experiment, design, innovate and learn at the nanoscale. McCloskey explains that Nanome's vision is to create an immersive interface where people can see things intuitively, and better interact with science via virtual reality and other tools. McCloskey states that their current technology allows users to view at the atom level, but he is working to develop further, to achieve success at the subatomic level. Additionally, he discusses the energy minimization force field as it relates to forces that are being calculated between atoms as they push and pull apart. McCloskey discusses one of their top products that he is particularly excited about—CalcFlow. CalcFlow allows researchers to study and visualize vector calculus in an interactive environment. The platform enables mathematical modeling, manipulation of 3D graphs, as well as the editing of parameters while you work. He elaborates on the advantages that CalcFlow provides for research and experimentation, such as its ability to bring mechanical engineering design into the dynamic in an observable manner. And the process is exceptionally great for optimization and delivery into the 3D printing environment. The nanoengineering expert describes how the introduction of blockchain to their platform will allow more people to work globally toward solutions to many problems that humans face, from technology to medical and beyond. McCloskey details how the platform can provide an opportunity for a larger group of people to study and hopefully find solutions for tropical diseases, diseases that big pharmaceutical companies have no interest in, due to the fact that their ability to profit is lower. Through the use of open-source models and automated licensing, and even closed source, the use of blockchain truly is changing the rate of discovery, as the global community can be involved. As the technology is expanding, McCloskey expects that virus modeling will become easier, as entire viruses can be viewed with atomic detail, enabling study at the systems level of the biology. And by simulating cells at every level, the possibilities for discovery are enormous.
