A Statistical Mechanical Approach to Combinatorial Chemistry
نویسنده
چکیده
An analogy between combinatorial chemistry and Monte Carlo computer simulation is pursued. Examples of how to design libraries for both materials discovery and protein molecular evolution are given. For materials discovery, the concept of library redesign, or the use previous experiments to guide the design of new experiments, is introduced. For molecular evolution, examples of how to use ``biased'' Monte Carlo to search the protein sequence space are given. Chemical information, whether intuition, theoretical calculations, or database statistics, can be naturally incorporated as an a priori bias in the Monte Carlo approach to library design in combinatorial chemistry. In this sense, combinatorial chemistry can be viewed as an extension of traditional chemical synthesis.

Half-Century Journey from Synthetic Organic Chemistry to Mathematical Stereochemistry through Chemoinformatics
My half-century journey started from synthetic organic chemistry. During the first stage of my journey, my interest in stereochemistry was initiated through the investigation on the participation of steric effects in reactive intermediates, cylophanes, strained heterocycles, and organic compounds for photography. In chemoinformatics as the next stage of the journey, I proposed the concept of im...
متن کاملAn optimization technique for vendor selection with quantity discounts using Genetic Algorithm
Vendor selection decisions are complicated by the fact that various conflicting multi-objective factors must be considered in the decision making process. The problem of vendor selection becomes still more compli-cated with the inclusion of incremental discount pricing schedule. Such hard combinatorial problems when solved using meta heuristics produce near optimal solutions. This paper propose...

The present research has aimed to present a model for and identify the dimensions and components of empowering developmental coaches and deputies in high schools. Taking a mixed, exploratory approach, the research used the strategy derived from grounded theory in the qualitative section, while a descriptive-survey method was used in the quantitative section. The statistical population for the f...
متن کاملA probabilistic approach to high throughput drug discovery.
A methodology is presented in which high throughput screening experimental data are used to construct a probabilistic QSAR model which is subsequently used to select building blocks for a virtual combinatorial library. The methodology is based upon statistical probability estimation and not regression. The methodology is applied to the construction of two focused virtual combinatorial libraries...
