Molecular Models

43.8K
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.

The Bohr Model

81.1K
Following the work of Ernest Rutherford and his colleagues in the early twentieth century, the picture of atoms consisting of tiny dense nuclei surrounded by lighter and even tinier electrons continually moving about the nucleus was well established. This picture was called the planetary model since it pictured the atom as a miniature “solar system” with the electrons orbiting the nucleus like planets orbiting the sun. The simplest atom is hydrogen, consisting of a single proton as the...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.5K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Compartment Models: Two-Compartment Model01:20

Compartment Models: Two-Compartment Model

7.2K
The two-compartment model divides the body into central and peripheral compartments to account for varying blood perfusion rates among organs and tissues, affecting drug distribution. The central compartment includes blood and highly perfused tissues with rapid drug distribution, while the peripheral compartment contains tissues with slower drug distribution. After a single IV bolus dose, the drug concentration is high in plasma and low in tissues. The drug distribution between compartments...

Clearance Models: Physiological Models

328
Drug clearance is a critical pharmacokinetic process involving the irreversible removal of drugs from the body through various organs over a specified time period. Physiological models are indispensable in determining organ-specific clearance, defined by the proportion of the drug eliminated per unit of time from the organ's blood volume.
The organ's clearance rate depends on the blood flow to the organ and the extraction ratio (E). The extraction ratio describes the organ's...

Clearance Models: Compartment Models

340
Clearance measures drug elimination from the central compartment, including plasma and highly perfused organs like kidneys and liver. Its calculation varies depending on pharmacokinetic models and administration routes. The one-compartment model, for instance, portrays the pharmacokinetics of polar drugs such as aminoglycoside antibiotics administered intravenously and readily excreted in urine. In this case, clearance is influenced by the terminal rate constant (λz) and the total volume...

Summary

A new stochastic model explains how low doses of harmful agents, like ionizing radiation, can prolong life by influencing intracellular lesion repair. This model helps interpret findings on hormesis and animal longevity.

Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Radiobiology
  • Gerontology

Background:

  • Hormesis describes beneficial effects of low doses of agents typically harmful at high doses.
  • Ionizing radiation is a known agent exhibiting hormetic effects on lifespan.
  • Understanding the mechanisms behind hormesis is crucial for its application in longevity research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a stochastic model explaining the life-prolonging effects of hormetic agents.
  • To investigate the role of intracellular lesion accumulation, progression, and repair in hormesis.
  • To analyze lifetime distributions from animal experiments involving radiation and other agents.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a stochastic model for intracellular lesion dynamics.
  • Incorporation of lesion repair processes at molecular and cellular levels.
