Qualitative and quantitative investigation of chromium-polluted soils by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy combined with neural networks analysis

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been applied to the analysis of three chromium-doped soils. Two chemometric techniques, principal components analysis (PCA) and neural networks analysis (NNA), were used to discriminate the soils on the basis of their LIBS spectra. An excellent rate of correct classification was achieved and a better ability of neural networks to cope with real-world, noisy spectra was demonstrated. Neural networks were then used for measuring chromium concentration in one of the soils. We performed a detailed optimization of the inputs of the network so as to improve its predictive performances and we studied the effect of the presence of matrix-specific information in the inputs examined. Finally the inputs of the network—the spectral intensities—were replaced by the line areas. This provided the best results with a prediction accuracy and precision of about 5% in the determination of chromium concentration and a significant reduction of the data, too.

Prediction of protein secondary structure content by artificial neural network

The neural network method was applied to the prediction of the content of protein secondary structure elements, including alpha-helix, beta-strand, beta-bridge, 3(10)-helix, pi-helix, H-bonded turn, bend, and random coil. The "pair-coupled amino acid composition" originally proposed by K. C. Chou [J Protein Chem 1999, 18, 473] was adopted as the input. Self-consistency and independent-dataset tests were used to appraise the performance of the neural network. Results of both tests indicated high performance of the method.     

Active content determination of non-coated pharmaceutical pellets by near infrared spectroscopy: Method development, validation and reliability evaluation

A robust near infrared (NIR) method able to quantify the active content of pilot non-coated pharmaceutical pellets was developed. A protocol of calibration was followed, involving 2 operators, independent pilot batches of non-coated pharmaceutical pellets and two different NIR acquisition temperatures. Prediction models based on Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression were then carried out. Afterwards, the NIR method was fully validated for an active content ranging from 80 to 120% of the usual active content using new independent pilot batches to evaluate the adequacy of the method to its final purpose. Conventional criteria such as the R², the Root Mean Square Error of Calibration (RMSEC), the Root Mean Square Error of Prediction (RMSEP) and the number of PLS factors enabled the selection of models with good predictive potential. However, such criteria sometimes fail to choose the most fitted for purpose model. Therefore, a novel approach based on accuracy profiles of the validation results was used, providing a visual representation of the actual and future performances of the models. Following this approach, the prediction model using signal pre-treatment Multiplicative Scatter Correction (MSC) was chosen as it showed the best ability to quantify accurately the active content over the 80-120% active content range. The reliability of the NIR method was tested with new pilot batches of non-coated pharmaceutical pellets containing 90 and 110% of the usual active content, with blends of validation batches and industrial batches. All those batches were also analyzed by the HPLC reference method and relative errors were calculated: the results showed low relative errors in full accordance with the results obtained during the validation of the method, indicating the reliability of the NIR method and its interchangeability with the HPLC reference method.     

SPINE X: improving protein secondary structure prediction by multistep learning coupled with prediction of solvent accessible surface area and backbone torsion angles

Accurate prediction of protein secondary structure is essential for accurate sequence alignment, three-dimensional structure modeling, and function prediction. The accuracy of ab initio secondary structure prediction from sequence, however, has only increased from around 77 to 80% over the past decade. Here, we developed a multistep neural-network algorithm by coupling secondary structure prediction with prediction of solvent accessibility and backbone torsion angles in an iterative manner. Our method called SPINE X was applied to a dataset of 2640 proteins (25% sequence identity cutoff) previously built for the first version of SPINE and achieved a 82.0% accuracy based on 10-fold cross validation (Q(3)). Surpassing 81% accuracy by SPINE X is further confirmed by employing an independently built test dataset of 1833 protein chains, a recently built dataset of 1975 proteins and 117 CASP 9 targets (critical assessment of structure prediction techniques) with an accuracy of 81.3%, 82.3% and 81.8%, respectively. The prediction accuracy is further improved to 83.8% for the dataset of 2640 proteins if the DSSP assignment used above is replaced by a more consistent consensus secondary structure assignment method. Comparison to the popular PSIPRED and CASP-winning structure-prediction techniques is made. SPINE X predicts number of helices and sheets correctly for 21.0% of 1833 proteins, compared to 17.6% by PSIPRED. It further shows that SPINE X consistently makes more accurate prediction in helical residues (6%) without over prediction while PSIPRED makes more accurate prediction in coil residues (3-5%) and over predicts them by 7%.
