Electronic structure calculations in arbitrary electrostatic environments.
Mark A. Watson,Dmitrij Rappoport,Elizabeth M. Y. Lee,Roberto Olivares-Amaya,Alán Aspuru-Guzik +4 more
TL;DR: A novel approach to the molecular electronic structure in arbitrary electrostatic environments that is compatible with standard quantum chemical methods and can be applied to medium-sized and large molecules is developed and implemented.

PHOENICS: A universal deep Bayesian optimizer
TL;DR: It is shown that PHOENICS is less sensitive to the nature of the co-domain, and outperforms GP and RF optimizations, and is recommended for rapid optimization of scalar, possibly non-convex, black-box unknown objective functions.

Temperature and Carbon Assimilation Regulate the Chlorosome Biogenesis in Green Sulfur Bacteria
Joseph Kuo-Hsiang Tang,Semion K. Saikin,Sai Venkatesh Pingali,Miriam M. Enriquez,Joonsuk Huh,Harry A. Frank,Volker S. Urban,Alán Aspuru-Guzik +7 more
TL;DR: The chlorosome is a natural self-assembled aggregate of bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) molecules, which adjust the structure and functionality of the chlorosomes in response to environmental stress factors.

Absence of Selection for Quantum Coherence in the Fenna–Matthews–Olson Complex: A Combined Evolutionary and Excitonic Study
Stéphanie Valleau,Romain A. Studer,Florian Häse,Christoph Kreisbeck,Rafael G. Saer,Robert E. Blankenship,Eugene I. Shakhnovich,Alán Aspuru-Guzik,Alán Aspuru-Guzik +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an ancestor of the Fenna-Matthews-Olson protein complex was reconstructed to establish whether coherence in the exciton transport was selected for or optimized over time.
