Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Algorithms for Numerical Problem Solving

48
Mechanistic models play a crucial role in algorithms for numerical problem-solving, particularly in nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NMEM). These models aim to minimize specific objective functions by evaluating various parameter estimates, leading to the development of systematic algorithms. In some cases, linearization techniques approximate the model using linear equations.
In individual population analyses, different algorithms are employed, such as Cauchy's method, which uses a...

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Individual and Population Analysis

37
Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least...

¹H NMR of Conformationally Flexible Molecules: Temporal Resolution

830
At room temperature, the chair conformer of cyclohexane undergoes rapid ring flipping between two equivalent chair conformers at a rate of approximately 105 times per second. These two chair conformers are in equilibrium. The rapid ring flipping results in the interconversion of the axial proton to an equatorial proton and an equatorial to the axial proton. Such interconversions are too rapid and cannot be detected on the NMR timescale. Hence, the NMR spectrometer cannot distinguish between the...

¹H NMR of Conformationally Flexible Molecules: Variable-Temperature NMR

1.1K
The axial and equatorial protons in cyclohexane can be distinguished by performing a variable-temperature NMR experiment. In this process, except for one proton, the remaining eleven protons are replaced by deuterium. The deuterium substitution avoids the possible peak splitting caused by the spin-spin coupling between the adjacent protons. The remaining proton flips between the axial and equatorial positions.

Area of Science:

  • Computational Chemistry
  • Molecular Dynamics
  • Biophysics

Background:

  • Accurate theoretical predictions of molecular structural ensembles rely on precise forward models (FMs).
  • Bayesian Inference of Conformational Populations (BICePs) reconciles simulated data with experimental observations, handling sparse and noisy data.
  • Existing methods require accurate FM parameters, limiting their application in force field validation and optimization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance the BICePs algorithm for refining empirical forward model (FM) parameters.
  • To introduce and evaluate novel methods for optimizing FM parameters within the BICePs framework.
  • To improve the accuracy of theoretical predictions by refining parameters crucial for molecular simulations.

Main Methods:

  • Developed two novel methods for FM parameter optimization: nuisance parameter integration and variational minimization of the BICePs score.
  • Implemented improved likelihood functions to handle experimental outliers effectively.
  • Applied the enhanced BICePs approach to refine Karplus relation parameters for predicting J-coupling constants.

Main Results:

  • Successfully refined six sets of Karplus parameters for human ubiquitin, covering various J-couplings (e.g., 3J(HNHA), 3J(HA C extquotesingle), 3J(HNC extbeta), 3J(HNC extquotesingle), 3J(C extquotesingleC extbeta), 3J(C extquotesingleC extquotesingle)).
  • Demonstrated the approach's validity using a toy model system and human ubiquitin.
  • Showcased the ability to refine parameters without relying on predetermined parameterization, enhancing predictive accuracy.
