<p>The chemical space for novel electronic donor-acceptor oligomers with targeted properties was explored using deep generative models and transfer learning. A General Recurrent Neural Network model was trained from the ChEMBL database to generate chemically valid SMILES strings. The parameters of the General Recurrent Neural Network were fine-tuned via transfer learning using the electronic donor-acceptor database from the Computational Material Repository to generate novel donor-acceptor oligomers. Six different transfer learning models were developed with different subsets of the donor-acceptor database as training sets. We concluded that electronic properties such as HOMO-LUMO gaps and dipole moments of the training sets can be learned using the SMILES representation with deep generative models, and that the chemical space of the training sets can be efficiently explored. This approach identified approximately 1700 new molecules that have promising electronic properties (HOMO-LUMO gap <2 eV and dipole moment <2 Debye), 6-times more than in the original database. Amongst the molecular transformations, the deep generative model has learned how to produce novel molecules by trading off between selected atomic substitutions (such as halogenation or methylation) and molecular features such as the spatial extension of the oligomer. The method can be extended as a plausible source of new chemical combinations to effectively explore the chemical space for targeted properties.</p>

Surface properties, including morphology, submicron morphology, and surface chemistry, are essential factors that affect the quality and manner of biological responses at the site of tissue contact with the implant, affecting the bone healing process. In this in vitro study, morphology and biocompatibility of nitinol (NiTi) memory alloy surfaces mechanically polished and modified with a chemical solution consisting of three types of acid (HCl-HF-H3PO4) and then chemical operations in solution (HNO3 and HCl) with a Volumetric scale of 1:1 and examined at ambient temperature. 75 samples were used for surface chemical modification, biological evaluations, and surface roughness, and also 9 samples as control. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and nitinol alloy (NiTi) surface roughness measurements were performed to analyze the surfaces. Besides, MG-63 cells were cultured on different nitinol alloy levels to evaluate adhesion and cell growth and proliferation. Data were analyzed using t-test and one-way analysis of variance. The results show that the chemical surface modification operation with two-stage acid solution had a higher roughness compared to the unmodified surfaces and the surface chemical modification operation with the acidic solution with an only solution consisting of (HCl-HF-H3PO4). Cell culture evaluations also showed that the two-stage modified nitinol levels showed significant cell adhesion and significant growth and proliferation compared to the tertiary acid-modified and unmodified levels. The surface chemical modification method for nitinol alloy can change the surface chemistry and change the surface morphology and create sub-micron scale roughness. This can increase the connectivity of the implant tissue and reduce the toxic effect of nickel.

In this investigation, the feasibility of detecting the amantadine (AMD) molecule onto the outer surface of pristine fullerene (C[Formula: see text]), as well as C[Formula: see text]X ([Formula: see text], Ge, B, Al, Ga, N, P, and As) decorated structures, was carefully evaluated. For achieving this goal, a density functional theory level of study using the HSEH1PBE functional together with a 6-311G(d) basis set has been used. Subsequently, the B3LYP-D3, wB97XD and M062X functionals with a 6-311G(d) basis set were also employed to consider the single point energies. Natural bond orbital (NBO) and the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) were implemented using the B3LYP-D3/6-311G(d) method and the results were compatible with the electronic properties. In this regard, the total density of states (TDOSs), the Wiberg bond index (WBI), natural charge, natural electron configuration, donor–acceptor NBO interactions, and the second-order perturbation energies are performed to explore the nature of the intermolecular interactions. All of the energy calculations and population analyses denote that by adsorbing of the AMD molecule onto the surface of the considered nanostructures, the intermolecular interactions are of the type of strong physical adsorption. Among the doped fullerenes, Ge-doped structure has very high adsorption energy compared to other elements. Generally, it was revealed that the sensitivity of the adsorption will be increased when the AMD molecule interacts with the decorated fullerenes and decrease the HOMO–LUMO band gap; therefore, the change of electronic properties can be used to design suitable nanocarrier.
