Sonifying stochastic walks on biomolecular energy landscapes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Translating the complex, multi-dimensional data from simulations of biomolecules to intuitive knowledge is a major challenge in computational chemistry and biology. The so-called “free energy landscape” is amongst the most fundamental concepts used by scientists to understand both static and dynamic properties of biomolecular systems. In this paper we use Markov models to design a strategy for mapping features of this landscape to sonic parameters, for use in conjunction with visual display techniques such as structural animations and free energy diagrams.

متن کاملA framework for generating and analyzing movement paths on ecological landscapes.
The movement paths of individuals over landscapes are basically represented by sequences of points (x(i), y(i)) occurring at times t(i). Theoretically, these points can be viewed as being generated by stochastic processes that in the simplest cases are Gaussian random walks on featureless landscapes. Generalizations have been made of walks that (i) take place on landscapes with features, (ii) h...
متن کاملQuantifying the topography of the intrinsic energy landscape of flexible biomolecular recognition.
Biomolecular functions are determined by their interactions with other molecules. Biomolecular recognition is often flexible and associated with large conformational changes involving both binding and folding. However, the global and physical understanding for the process is still challenging. Here, we quantified the intrinsic energy landscapes of flexible biomolecular recognition in terms of b...
متن کاملSpecificity and Affinity Quantification of Flexible Recognition from Underlying Energy Landscape Topography
Flexibility in biomolecular recognition is essential and critical for many cellular activities. Flexible recognition often leads to moderate affinity but high specificity, in contradiction with the conventional wisdom that high affinity and high specificity are coupled. Furthermore, quantitative understanding of the role of flexibility in biomolecular recognition is still challenging. Here, we ...
متن کاملInterim Report IR-99-052 Correlation Analysis of Fitness Landscapes
Fitness landscapes underlie the dynamics of evolutionary processes and are a key concept of evolutionary theory. Recent research on molecular folding and on evolutionary algorithms has demonstrated that such landscapes are also important for understanding problems of chemistry and of combinatorial optimization. In these cases free energy or cost functions are used instead of biological fitness ...
