Molecular Models02:00

Molecular Models

Physical models representing molecular architectures of chemical compounds play essential roles in understanding chemistry. The use of molecular models makes it easier to visualize the structures and shapes of atoms and molecules.
Polymer Classification: Architecture01:14

Polymer Classification: Architecture

Polymers are classified as linear or branched on the basis of their chain architecture. The polymer chains in linear polymers have a long chain-like structure with minimal to no branching at all. Even if a polymer features large substituent groups on the monomer, which appear as branches to the skeleton, it is not considered a branched polymer. A branched polymer contains secondary polymer chains that arise from the main polymer chain. The branching occurs when the polymer growth shifts from...

Mechanistic Models: Overview of Compartment Models

Mechanistic models, a category encompassing both physiological and compartmental modeling, differ from empirical models' approaches to incorporating known factors about the systems being modeled. Empirical models describe data with minimal assumptions, while mechanistic models aim to provide a robust description of available data by specifying assumptions and integrating known factors about the system. Compartmental analysis is a key example of a mechanistic model in pharmacokinetics and...
Polymer Classification: Stereospecificity01:26

Polymer Classification: Stereospecificity

Polymerization generates chiral centers along the entire backbone of a polymer chain. Accordingly, the stereochemistry of the substituent group has a significant effect on polymer properties. Polymers formed from monosubstituted alkene monomers feature chiral carbons at every alternate position in the polymer backbone. Relative to the predominant orientation of substituents at the adjacent chiral carbons, the polymer can exist in three different configurations: isotactic, syndiotactic, and...
SN2 Reaction: Mechanism02:27

SN2 Reaction: Mechanism

The kinetic studies of SN2 reactions suggest an essential feature of its mechanism: it is a single-step process without intermediates. Here, both the nucleophile and the substrate participate in the rate-determining step.
The presence of the more electronegative halogen in the substrate creates a polarized carbon-halide bond. The halide pulls the electron cloud generating an electrophilic center at the carbon atom. Thus, the carbon atom carries a partial positive charge while the halide has a...
What is Organic Chemistry?02:17

What is Organic Chemistry?

Organic chemistry is the study of compounds of carbon called organic compounds. Organic compounds either originate from living organisms or are synthesized by chemists. A defining trait of these compounds is the presence of carbon as the principal element, which is bonded to other carbon atoms and other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. The existence of a wide array of organic molecules is a consequence of carbon atoms’ ability to form up to four strong bonds to other...

Area of Science:

  • Systems Biology
  • Computational Biology
  • Biochemical Network Analysis

Background:

  • The increasing complexity of biomodels necessitates automated quality assessment tools.
  • Stoichiometric analysis methods like chemical organization theory (OT) are valuable but often require explicit stoichiometric data.
  • Information on stoichiometry can be embedded within kinetic laws in Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) models, hindering direct analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an algorithm for extracting hidden stoichiometric information from SBML models.
  • To enable the application of chemical organization theory (OT) to SBML models that include modifiers.
  • To assess the impact of considering modifiers on the analysis of biological networks.

Main Methods:

  • An algorithm was developed to uncover stoichiometric information concealed within kinetic laws of reaction networks.
  • The algorithm was applied to analyze a large-scale dataset of 185 curated biomodels from the BioModels Database.
  • Chemical organization theory (OT) was employed to analyze the extracted stoichiometric information.

Main Results:

  • The analysis revealed that for 41% of the models (22%), the set of organizations changed when modifiers were correctly accounted for.
  • Inconsistencies were identified in 5% of the models, with characteristics of these inconsistencies detailed.
  • Compared to flux-based methods, OT proved more accurate in identifying species and reactions relevant for long-term simulations in 14% of cases.

Conclusions:

  • The developed approach enhances the consistency and quality of biomodels by accurately incorporating stoichiometric information.
  • This method provides a valuable tool for improving the analysis and reliability of biological pathway models.
  • The findings highlight the importance of considering modifiers in stoichiometric analysis for accurate biological network interpretation.
