Physiological Pharmacokinetic Models: Assumption with Protein Binding

355
Physiological models with protein binding in pharmacokinetics offer a sophisticated approach to understanding drug disposition. These models consider drug-protein interactions, enabling them to effectively predict drug concentrations in different organs and tissues. This precision aids in accurate drug dosing, providing a significant advantage over conventional models. A key process within these models is equilibration, which ensures that drug concentrations achieve a steady state within the...

Entropy and Solvation

8.8K
The process of surrounding a solute with solvent is called solvation. It involves evenly distributing the solute within the solvent. The rule of thumb for determining a solvent for a given compound is that like dissolves like. A good solvent has molecular characteristics similar to those of the compound to be dissolved. For example, polar solutions dissolve polar solutes, and apolar solvents dissolve apolar solutes. A polar solvent is a solvent that has a high dielectric constant (ϵ...

Chemical Shift: Internal References and Solvent Effects

1.6K
In an NMR sample, precise measurement of the absolute absorption frequencies of nuclei is difficult. A standard internal reference compound is added, and the frequency difference between the reference signal and sample signals is measured.
The internal reference compound generally used in NMR spectroscopy is tetramethylsilane (TMS). TMS is preferred because it is chemically inert, soluble in NMR solvents, and easily removable. Also, the highly shielded methyl protons in TMS yield an intense...

Area of Science:

  • Computational Chemistry
  • Biophysics
  • Molecular Modeling

Background:

  • Generalized Born (GB) models are fast implicit solvent models used in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.
  • Existing GB models have limitations in accuracy due to empirical parameterization.
  • Refining these parameters is crucial for improving the reliability of solvation energy and effective radii calculations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To refit the empirical parameters of the GB-Neck model to enhance its accuracy.
  • To develop an improved GB model (GB-Neck2) for more precise solvation energy and effective radii calculations.
  • To validate the performance of GB-Neck2 against established methods and experimental data.

Main Methods:

  • Refitting empirical parameters for the GB-Neck model using extensive datasets.
  • Comparing the performance of the new GB-Neck2 model against other pairwise GB models (e.g., GB-OBC, original GB-Neck) and Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) calculations.
  • Evaluating GB-Neck2's ability to reproduce solvation energies, secondary structure preferences, and experimental profiles of model peptides.

Main Results:

  • The refitted GB-Neck2 model demonstrates improved accuracy in solvation energy and effective radii calculations.
  • GB-Neck2 shows better agreement with PB solvation energies for diverse systems, including peptides and proteins.
  • GB-Neck2 accurately reproduces secondary structure preferences from explicit solvent MD simulations and experimental data for model peptides.

Conclusions:

  • The GB-Neck2 model offers enhanced accuracy for implicit solvent simulations compared to previous GB models.
  • This improved model facilitates more reliable molecular dynamics simulations for biomolecular systems.
  • Future work will focus on extending the GB-Neck2 model to non-protein systems.
