AbstractNear-infrared fluorescent proteins (NIR FPs) engineered from bacterial phytochromes are widely used for structural and functional deep-tissue imaging in vivo. To fluoresce, NIR FPs covalently bind a chromophore, such as biliverdin IXa tetrapyrrole. The efficiency of biliverdin binding directly affects the fluorescence properties, rendering understanding of its molecular mechanism of major importance. miRFP proteins constitute a family of bright monomeric NIR FPs that comprise a Per-ARNT-Sim (PAS) and cGMP-specific phosphodiesterases - Adenylyl cyclases - FhlA (GAF) domain. Here, we structurally analyze biliverdin binding to miRFPs in real time using time-resolved stimulated Raman spectroscopy and quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations. Biliverdin undergoes isomerization, localization to its binding pocket, and pyrrolenine nitrogen protonation in <1 min, followed by hydrogen bond rearrangement in ~2 min. The covalent attachment to a cysteine in the GAF domain was detected in 4.3 min and 19 min in miRFP670 and its C20A mutant, respectively. In miRFP670, a second C–S covalent bond formation to a cysteine in the PAS domain occurred in 14 min, providing a rigid tetrapyrrole structure with high brightness. Our findings provide insights for the rational design of NIR FPs and a novel method to assess cofactor binding to light-sensitive proteins.

Virtual surgery robot can accurately modeling of surgical instruments and human organs, and realistic simulation of various surgical phenomena such as deformation of organic tissues, surgery simulation system can provide operators with reusable virtual training and simulation environment. To meet the requirement of virtual surgery robot for the authenticity and real-time of soft tissue deformation and surgical simulation in liver surgery, a new method is proposed to simulate the deformation of soft tissue. This method combines the spring force, the external force of the system, and the constraint force produced by the constraint function of the position-based dynamics. Based on the position-based dynamics, an improved three-parameter mass-spring model is added. In the calculation of the elastic force, the nonlinearity and viscoelasticity of the soft tissue are introduced, and the joint force of the constraint projection process and the constraint force of the position-based dynamics is used to modify mass points movement. The method of position-based dynamics based on biological characteristics, not only considers the biomechanical properties of biological soft tissue as an organic polymer such as viscoelasticity, nonlinearity, and incompressibility but also retains the rapidity and stability of the position based dynamic method. Through the simulation data, the optimal side length of tetrahedral mesh in the improved three-parameter model is obtained, and the physical properties of the model are proved. The real-time simulation of the liver and other organs is completed by using the Geomagic touch force feedback device, which proves the practicability and effectiveness of this method.
