概括
对于分子结构的更高层次的量子化学 (QM) 几何优化,在定量结构-活性关系 (QSAR) 性能方面提供了最小的实际收益. 尽管描述值不同,但先进的QM方法与较低级别的方法相比,并不能显著提高抗癌药物发现的预测准确性.
科学领域:
- 计算化学计算化学
- 化学信息学 化学信息学
- 定量结构-活动关系 (QSAR) 建模
背景情况:
- 准确的三维 (3D) 分子结构对于定量结构-活性关系 (QSAR) 建模至关重要.
- 量子化学 (QM) 几何优化水平对经典3D描述器和QSAR性能的影响尚不清楚.
- 经典的依赖形状的3D描述符 (Dragon 3D) 在QSAR中被广泛使用.
研究的目的:
- 为了对八个QM几何优化协议进行基准测试,以评估它们对3D描述器和QSAR性能的影响.
- 评估提高QM理论水平对QSAR建模的实际好处.
- 提出QSAR研究中实用方法选择的框架.
主要方法:
- 八个QM几何优化协议 (从HF/STO-3G到DFT和复合方法) 的基准测试.
- 在三个抗癌活性数据集和十个机器学习分类器中进行评估.
- 描述器级分析 (偏差,相关性,相似性) 和QSAR性能指标 (平衡准确性).
主要成果:
- 高精度的QM协议产生一致的描述符空间,而较低级别的方法引入了变化,但保持了分子排名.
- QSAR性能仅受到QM水平的微弱影响,平均平衡精度紧密集群 (0.852-0.871).
- B3LYP/3-21G显示了最高的平均平衡精度,但性能差异是边际的 (<1-2%) 和相对于计算成本在统计学上无关紧要.
结论:
- 提高QM几何优化水平对经典的3D描述符忠实性和QSAR预测准确性提供了有限的实际好处.
- 质量管理升级主要改变描述符值,但没有预测能力的相应增长,特别是考虑到计算成本.
- 拟议的绝对效率比率 (AER) 框架通过平衡性能和效率来帮助务实的方法选择.

Quantitative Aspects of Drug-Receptor Interaction
2.2K
The receptor occupancy theory connects a drug's response to the number of occupied receptors. With higher drug concentrations, more receptors are occupied, leading to increased responses. The formation of drug-receptor complexes involves association and dissociation rates, which reach equilibrium when the forward and backward reactions are equal. The equilibrium association constant (Ka) and its inverse, the equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd), indicate drug affinity. Higher Ka and lower...
