SAMIE: Statistical Algorithm for Modeling Interaction Energies
نویسندگان
چکیده
We are investigating the rules that govern protein-DNA interactions, using a statistical mechanics based formalism that is related to the Boltzmann Machine of the neural net literature. Our approach is data-driven, in which probabilistic algorithms are used to model protein-DNA interactions, given SELEX and/or phage data as input. In the current report, we trained the network using SELEX data, under the "one-to-one" model of interactions (i.e. one amino acid contacts one base). The trained network was able to successfully identify the wild-type binding sites of EGR and MIG protein families. The predictions using our method are the same or better than that of methods existing in the literature. However our methodology offers the potential to capitalise in quantitative detail, as well as to be used to explore more general model of interactions, given availability of data.

KECSA-Movable Type Implicit Solvation Model (KMTISM)
Computation of the solvation free energy for chemical and biological processes has long been of significant interest. The key challenges to effective solvation modeling center on the choice of potential function and configurational sampling. Herein, an energy sampling approach termed the “Movable Type” (MT) method, and a statistical energy function for solvation modeling, “Knowledge-based and E...
متن کاملModeling two-state cooperativity in protein folding.
A protein model with the pairwise interaction energies varying as the local environment changes, i.e., including some kind of collective effect between the contacts, is proposed. Lattice Monte Carlo simulations on the thermodynamical characteristics and free energy profile show a well-defined two-state behavior and cooperativity of folding for such a model. As a comparison, related simulations ...
متن کاملStatistical physics modeling of equilibrium adsorption of cadmium ions onto activated carbon, chitosan and chitosan/activated carbon composite
The adsorption ability of activated carbon, chitosan, and chitosan/activated carbon composite for cadmium separation from aqueous solution was analyzed via statistical physical modeling. The equilibrium data were analyzed by Langmuir, Hill, double layer model, and the multi-layer model with saturation isotherm models. Results showed that the multi-layer model with saturation could well describe...
متن کاملDAMAGE AND PLASTICITY CONSTANTS OF CONVENTIONAL AND HIGH-STRENGTH CONCRETE PART I: STATISTICAL OPTIMIZATION USING GENETIC ALGORITHM
The constitutive relationships presented for concrete modeling are often associated with unknown material constants. These constants are in fact the connectors of mathematical models to experimental results. Experimental determination of these constants is always associated with some difficulties. Their values are usually determined through trial and error procedure, with regard to experimental...
