# 2019 - the 8th International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians of 2019, 第八届华人数学家大会, June 9 to June 14, 2019. Beijing. Title: Ion conductance in membrane-channel systems: models, meshing, computing, and applications Abstract: Ion channels are pore-forming membrane proteins, as life's nano-valves that allow ions to pass through the channel pore. Many ion channel proteins are specialized to select for only a particular ion species. The continuum electrodiffusion model can qualitatively capture some macroscopic properties of certain ion channel systems such as current-voltage characteristics, conductance rectification, and inverse membrane potential. However, the macroscopic models are often challenged by the requirements: model accuracy, treatment of complex geometry of the membrane-channel protein system, and robustness of numerical computing. I will talk about the Poisson-Nernst-Planck type of PDE models (and the corresponding energy variational forms), meshing method for molecular surface and membrane-protein system, numerical techniques and finite element implementation. A particular application example is the simulation study of a potassium channel. With incorporation of ion solvation effect, the model is capable of simulating selective permeation in potassium channel, in which the larger potassium ions can much more easily pass through the channel than the relatively smaller sodium ions, although both type of ion species carry a same positive unit charge. Another application example is gene sequencing in nanopore. - 生命和物理科学中的微分方程及应用研讨会，2019年5月9-12日，重庆 Title: Continuum modeling of selective permeation in ion channel/nanopore Abstract: Electrodiffusion describes diffusion processes of charged particles in their self-induced (and sometimes together with external) electric field. The phenomena widely exist in electrochemistry, biology, semiconductor, etc. I will talk about a typical continuum modeling approach in biological ion channel studies, which involves researches on a set of Poisson-Nernst-Planck type of PDE models, finite element calculations, and molecular surface/volume mesh generation. The model can qualitatively capture some macroscopic properties of certain ion channel systems such as current-voltage characteristics, conductance rectification, and inverse membrane potential. With incorporation of other effects ignored in the mean field PNP theory such as size-effect, and in particular the ion solvation effect, the model is capable of simulating selective permeation in such as potassium channels, in which the larger potassium ions can much more easily pass through the channel than the relatively smaller sodium ions, although both type of ion species carry a same positive unit charge. Ion current rectification in the potassium channel (KcsA) was observed in both PNP and BPNP models. The method is also applied to studies of nanopore conductance, gene sequencing in nanopore, and so on. In addition, the newly developed molecular meshing method will be discussed if time allowed. - 2018年年终总结会拟定于2019年1月17-18日召开。 # 2018年 - 强约束条件下集成微系统的基础科学技术问题， 2018年12月21日-22日（20日报到），地点：北京大学东莞光电研究院 - Computational and Mathematical Approaches for Bioinformatics and Biophysics, Dec.10 to 14 (check in on 9), 2018， Sanya Title: Continuum modeling of selective ion permeation in a channel/nanopore Abstract: The Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) model describing electrodiffusion processes can qualitatively capture some macroscopic properties of certain ion channel systems such as current-voltage characteristics, conductance rectification, and inverse membrane potential. With incorporation of other effects ignored in the mean field PNP theory such as size-effect, and in partcular the ion solvation effect, it is capable of simulating selective permeation in such as potassium channels. Potassium channels are much more permeable to potassium than sodium ions, although potassium ions are larger and both carry the same positive charge. It is known that the dehydration effect (closely related to ion size) is crucial to selective permeation in potassium channels. We incorporated Born solvation energy into the PNP model (BPNP) to account for ion hydration/dehydration effects when passing through the inhomogeneous dielectric channel environments. The model was applied to study a cylindrical nanopore and a realistic KcsA channel, and three-dimensional finite element simulations were performed. The BPNP model can distinguish different ion species by ion radius and predict selectivity for K+ over Na+ in KcsA channels. Furthermore, ion current rectification in the KcsA channel was observed by both the PNP and BPNP models. The I-V curve of the BPNP model for the KcsA channel indicated an inward rectifier effect for K+ (rectification ratio of ∼3/2) but indicated an outward rectifier effect for Na+ (rectification ratio of ∼1/6). These phenomena can be properly explained by the electrostatic energy landscape of the permeative ion along the channel resulted from the BPNP model. In addition, some other related models and applications will also be discussed in this talk. - （会议委员会）首届中国分子生物拓扑会议, 河北师范大学数学与信息科学学院, 10.26-29, 石家庄 - 科学挑战专题集成微系统领域方向一交流讨论会， 10.24-25，北京 - 第一届全国集成微系统科学技术及其建模与仿真学术交流会会议通知（第一轮）， 暨科学挑战专题强约束集成微系统领域十三五中期进展学术交流会、中国仿真学会第一届集成微系统建模与仿真专业委员会第二次工作会议，拟于2018年7.6-7.7日在四川成都举行。 - 第十一届海峡两岸生物学启发的理论问题研讨会，2018年7月3日至7月7日， 台湾中兴大学&中央大学，惠蓀林場 - SIAM 2018 Annual Meeting， (http://www.siam.org/meetings/an18/), July 9-13, Portland, Oregon, US Title: Finite Element simulations of the solvation of Membrane Channel Proteins and the transport of solvated ions in a channel Abstract: A Finite Element solver is developed to study the Laterally Periodic Poisson-Boltzmann model for Membrane Channel Proteins. Studies shows taht all the factors, the membrane thickness, the length of periodic box, membrane dielectric constant, pore region dielectric constant, and ionic concentration, have individually considerable influence on the solvation energy of a channel protein. In addition, the ion's Born energy is incorporated into the PNP model (BPNP), which is shown to be able to successfully simulate the selective permeation of K+ in KcsA channel. - Mathematics in Action (MiA2018): Modeling and analysis in molecular biology and electrophysiology， Soochow University, June 16-18, 2018. http://www.math.ucsd.edu/~s4zhou/MBE2018/speakers.html Title: (online) Continuum modeling of selective ion permeation in potassium channel Abstract: The Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) model describing electrodiffusion processes can qualitatively capture some macroscopic properties of certain ion channel systems such as current-voltage characteristics, conductance rectification, and inverse membrane potential. In this talk, (1) we will present a proper free energy form for self-consistent variational analysis for inhomogeneous charged system with general nonhomogeneoous boundary conditions. (2) As the continuum mean-field PNP model has no or underestimates the discrete ion effects, in particular the ion solvation effect, it is not applicable to selective permeation simulations. Potassium channels are much more permeable to potassium than sodium ions, although potassium ions are larger and both carry the same positive charge. This puzzle cannot be solved based on the traditional PNP model because it treats all ions as point charges and has no any ion size information, therefore cannot discriminate potassium from sodium ions. It is known that the dehydration effect (closely related to ion size) is crucial to selective permeation in potassium channels. We incorporated Born solvation energy into the PNP model to account for ion hydration/dehydration effects when passing through the inhomogeneous dielectric channel environments. A variational approach was adopted to derive a Born-energy-modified PNP (BPNP) model. The model was applied to study a cylindrical nanopore and a realistic KcsA channel, and three-dimensional finite element simulations were performed. The BPNP model can distinguish different ion species by ion radius and predict selectivity for K+ over Na+ in KcsA channels. Furthermore, ion current rectification in the KcsA channel was observed by both the PNP and BPNP models. The I -V curve of the BPNP model for the KcsA channel indicated an inward rectifier effect for K+ (rectification ratio of ∼3/2) but indicated an outward rectifier effect for Na+ (rectification ratio of ∼1/6). These phenomena can be properly explained by the electrostatic energy landscape of the permeative ion along the channel resulted from the BPNP model.

We developed a ray-casting and surface-tracing method for manifold triangular meshing for large Gaussian molecular surfaces. A new algorithm is recently developed to greatly improve the meshing efficiency and qualities. In the first step, a new adaptive partition and estimation algorithm is proposed to locate the cubes in which the surface are approximated by piece-wise trilinear surface with controllable precision. Then, the piecewise trilinear surface is divided into single valued pieces by tracing along the fold curves, which ensures that the generated surface meshes are manifolds. The mesh quality can be further improved using post-processing techniques. An alternative way is to combine the molecular surface mesh identification and volume mesh generation teogether during mesh refinement procedure when using FEM. Numerical test results show that TMSmesh 2.0 is capable of handling arbitrary sizes of molecules and achieves ten to hundreds of times speedup over the previous algorithm. In all of our extensively tested molecules, the resulted surface meshes are all manifolds and can be used in boundary element method (BEM) and finite element method (FEM) simulations. - 2018软物质与生物物理理论研讨会,2018年1月28日（星期日）至31日（28日报到，31日离会）,中国科学院理论物理研究所，北京 钾离子通道选择性输运的隐式模型及有限元模拟 - "高性能科学计算的基础算法与可计算建模”重大研究计划 年会，2018年1月11-13，广州 钾离子通道选择性输运的隐式模型及有限元模拟 - 计算数学所2017年年终总结会的时间定于2018年1月24日、25日（周三、四）两天，在数学院召开 #2017年 - 12月16日，在北京九所，仿真分会专委会成立大会及第一次学术交流会 - 2017年1月12-14日期间在广州召开“高性能科学计算的基础算法与可计算建模”重大研究计划2017年度学术交流会， - 2017复杂体系计算统计力学研讨会，12月1-4日（暂定），福州 - 强约束集成微系统物理与技术全国研讨会，电扩散反应过程的有限元模拟及其在生物化学材料等领域的应用, 2017.12.2, 厦门 - 第十四届全国计算（机）化学学术会议，在线计算化学I：分子静电计算与可视化，2017年11月17-21，南京大学 - 数值方法及其应用研讨会 暨《计算数学》和《数值计算与计算应用》两刊编委会会议时间: 2017年11月3-5日，南京师范大学 - COMSOL Conference 2017 Beijing (COMSOL用户年会)，“计算化学/生物中的一些隐式溶剂模型模拟方法”，2017年11月2-3号，北京 - 多组分漂移扩散模型及跨尺度半导体器件损伤模拟 研讨会，2017年10月19-22 日，成都 （会议主席） - International Conference on Theoretical and High Performance Computational Chemistry 2017”（ICT-HPCC17），（2017 年理论与高性能计算化学国际会议），2017 年10 月26~29 日，杭州 - 中国力学大会2017，MS079 边界元法与降维方法专题研讨会，“分子模拟中快速边界元计算静电方法进展”，2017.8.13-16，北京 - 边界元法与降维方法进展与应用研讨会，生物分子Poisson-Boltzmann静电作用的高效边界元计算及程序包AFMPB，2017年7月29日-8月1日，桂林 - 8th International Conference on Computational Methods （ICCM 2017）, Accelerating BEM in macromolecular electrostatics computing， 2017.7.25-29，Guilin, China - 第十一届全国计算数学年会, 离子通道模拟, 2017年7月21-23，西安
