Gibbs Free Energy02:39

Gibbs Free Energy

38.8K
One of the challenges of using the second law of thermodynamics to determine if a process is spontaneous is that it requires measurements of the entropy change for the system and the entropy change for the surroundings. An alternative approach involving a new thermodynamic property defined in terms of system properties only was introduced in the late nineteenth century by American mathematician Josiah Willard Gibbs. This new property is called the Gibbs free energy (G) (or simply the free...

Gibbs Free Energy and Thermodynamic Favorability

The spontaneity of a process depends upon the temperature of the system. Phase transitions, for example, will proceed spontaneously in one direction or the other depending upon the temperature of the substance in question. Likewise, some chemical reactions can also exhibit temperature-dependent spontaneities. To illustrate this concept, the equation relating free energy change to the enthalpy and entropy changes for the process is considered:

According to Raoult’s law, the partial vapor pressure of a solvent in a solution is equal or identical to the vapor pressure of the pure solvent multiplied by its mole fraction in the solution. However, Raoult's Law is only valid for ideal solutions. For a solution to be ideal, the solvent-solute interaction must be just as strong as a solvent-solvent or solute-solute interaction. This suggests that both the solute and the solvent would use the same amount of energy to escape to the...

General Properties of Solutions

Many common substances around us exist as a solution, such as ocean water, air, and gasoline. All solutions are mixtures of substances that are composed of varying amounts of two or more types of atoms or molecules. A mixture with a non-uniform composition is a heterogeneous mixture, whereas a mixture with a uniform composition is a homogeneous mixture. The components that make the homogeneous mixture are evenly spread out and thoroughly mixed.

RNA Stability

Intact DNA strands can be found in fossils, while scientists sometimes struggle to keep RNA intact under laboratory conditions. The structural variations between RNA and DNA underlie the differences in their stability and longevity. Because DNA is double-stranded, it is inherently more stable. The single-stranded structure of RNA is less stable but also more flexible and can form weak internal bonds. Additionally, most RNAs in the cell are relatively short, while DNA can be up to 250 million...

    Area of Science:

    • Computational Biology
    • Bioinformatics
    • Structural Biology

    Background:

    • Multiple RNA interactions are fundamental to biological processes.
    • Current computational models often assume a single optimal structure, which may not reflect biological reality.
    • The existence of multiple, non-unique RNA structures necessitates methods that can explore suboptimal solutions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a combinatorial framework for modeling multiple RNA interactions.
    • To generate a diverse set of optimal and suboptimal RNA structures.
    • To identify distinct representative structures for biological interpretation.

    Main Methods:

    • Formulation of the Multiple RNA Interaction problem as a combinatorial optimization task.
    • Application of approximation algorithms to handle diverse interaction patterns.
    • Integration of Gibbs sampling and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) for efficient solution generation.
    • Clustering of generated solutions to identify representative structures.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed method efficiently generates multiple optimal and suboptimal RNA structures.
    • Exploring dependencies within RNA interactions improves the scoring and sampling of viable structures.
    • Clustering reveals distinct representative structures, offering insights into alternative biological possibilities.
    • The combinatorial approach effectively addresses the non-uniqueness of RNA interaction structures.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed combinatorial formulation and sampling methods provide a robust approach to modeling multiple RNA interactions.
    • This method enhances the exploration of the conformational landscape of interacting RNAs.
    • Identifying distinct suboptimal structures is vital for a comprehensive understanding of RNA function and regulation.
