Fuzzy spectral clustering by PCCA+: application to Markov state models and data classification

TLDR
It is demonstrated in this paper that PCCA+ always delivers an optimal fuzzy clustering for nearly uncoupled, not necessarily reversible, Markov chains with transition states.
Abstract
Given a row-stochastic matrix describing pairwise similarities between data objects, spectral clustering makes use of the eigenvectors of this matrix to perform dimensionality reduction for clustering in fewer dimensions. One example from this class of algorithms is the Robust Perron Cluster Analysis (PCCA+), which delivers a fuzzy clustering. Originally developed for clustering the state space of Markov chains, the method became popular as a versatile tool for general data classification problems. The robustness of PCCA+, however, cannot be explained by previous perturbation results, because the matrices in typical applications do not comply with the two main requirements: reversibility and nearly decomposability. We therefore demonstrate in this paper that PCCA+ always delivers an optimal fuzzy clustering for nearly uncoupled, not necessarily reversible, Markov chains with transition states.

Dinucleotides as simple models of the base stacking-unstacking component of DNA 'breathing' mechanisms

TL;DR: The analyses show that the CD spectrum of dApdA is defined by two distinct chiral conformations that correspond, respectively, to a Watson-Crick form and a hybrid form with one base in a Hoogsteen configuration, and find also that ionic structure and water orientation around d ApdA play important roles in controlling its breathing fluctuations.

Dynamics Rationalize Proteolytic Susceptibility of the Major Birch Pollen Allergen Bet v 1

TL;DR: Estimating the thermodynamics and kinetics of local unfolding around an initial cleavage site, it is found that the Bet v 1 variant with the highest cleavage rate also shows the highest probability for local unfolding, which strengthens the link between the conformational dynamics of allergen proteins and their stability during endolysosomal degradation.
