Synaptic energy drives the information processing mechanisms in spiking neural networks by Karim El Laithy, Martin Bogdan

“…Following a bottom-up approach, a hypothetical energy function is proposed for dynamic synaptic models based on the theoretical thermodynamic principles and the Hopfield networks. We show that a synapse exposes stable operating points in terms of its excitatory postsynaptic potential as a function of its synaptic strength. …”

Investigation on the Binding and Conformational Change of All-trans-Retinoic Acid with Peptidyl Prolyl cis/trans Isomerase Pin1 Using Spectroscopic and Computational Techniques by GuoFei Zhu, ShaoLi Lyu, Yang Liu, Chao Ma, Wang Wang

“…The intrinsic fluorescence of Pin1 was quenched through a static quenching mechanism in the presence of ATRA with binding constants on the order of 105 mol/L. Thermodynamic parameters (ΔH = 15.76 kJ/mol and ΔS = 158.36 J/mol·K at 293 K) and computational results illustrated that the hydrophobic interactions played a significant role in the binding process of ATRA to Pin1, but electrostatic forces, weak van der Waals, and hydrogen bonds cannot be ignored. …”
