Virtual screening and library enumeration of new hydroxycinnamates based antioxidant compounds: A complete framework

Designing of molecules for drugs is important topic from many decades. The search of new drugs is very hard, and it is expensive process. Computer assisted framework can provide the fastest way to design and screen drug-like compounds. In present work, a multidimensional approach is introduced for the designing and screening of antioxidant compounds. Antioxidants play a crucial role in ensuring that the body's oxidizing and reducing species are kept in the proper balance, minimizing oxidative stress. Machine learning models are used to predict antioxidant activity. Three hydroxycinnamates are selected as standard antioxidants. Similar compounds are searched from ChEMBL database using chemical structural similarity method. The libraries of new compounds are generated using evolutionary method. New compounds are also designed using automatic decomposition and construction building blocks. The antioxidant activity of all designed and searched compounds is predicted using machine learning models. The chemical space of searched and generated compounds is envisioned using t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) method. Best compounds are shortlisted, and their synthetic accessibility is predicted to further facilitate the experimental chemists. The chemical similarity between standard and selected compounds is also studied using fingerprints and heatmap.     

两种不同光谱类型的R-藻红蛋白的荧光性质研究

红藻中的R-藻红蛋白(R-PE)依照其吸收光谱可分为两种不同的光谱类型,即“双峰型”和“三峰型”。本文通过对不同pH条件下的R-PE的荧光光谱及荧光寿命的研究,发现“三峰型”R-PE的pH稳定范围较“双峰型”R-PE大。在R-PE浓度对荧光光谱的影响实验中,随着蛋白浓度的增加,荧光峰位置逐渐红移。荧光寿命逐渐增大,荧光强度先行增加而后减弱。用碘离子对其荧光进行猝灭,随着碘离子浓度的增大,荧光强度逐渐降低,荧光寿命逐渐缩短,并服从Stem-Volmer规则。

Supermolecular structures and flow birefringence in polymer solutions

Experimental studies of supermolecular structures and localized flow birefringence in solutions of high-molecular weight polymer are described. Advantage is taken of poly(ethylene oxide) and polyisobutylene. Supermolecular structures are examined with the aid of optical microscopy using freeze-dried samples of the polymer solutions. Birefringence is investigated that arises in planar elongational flow in a cross-slot cell. Flow velocities at which the onset of the localized birefringence occurs are determined. Then these velocities are correlated with viscoelastic characteristics of the solutions. The presence of a liquid-crystalline fibrillar network in the polymer solutions exhibiting flow birefringence is ascertained. The fibrils are birefringent objects. The fibrils are birefringent objects. The localized birefringence phenomenon is explained in term of the orientation of the fibrils in elongational flow. It has been shown that the onset of localized birefringence occurs at a critical Weissenberg number, the value of which is close to unity.

Interlaboratory comparisons and improvements of methods for acid number determination in used motor oils

The results of two interlaboratory comparisons of acid number determinations in used motor oils are discussed. It is shown that the comparability of the measurement results is not as good as that required by known standards for petroleum products. The problem is motor oil contaminants which accumulated during use, and which are the source of a matrix effect in the acid number determination. The standard methods’ drawbacks are analyzed and some improvements are proposed. Repeatability and accuracy of the improved methods are evaluated.

The evaluation and use of properties of individual ions in slution

A critical examination is given of extra-thermodynamic methods for evaluation of properties of individual ions in solution. The ways in which such data may be applied, or are required in various problems concerning specific properties of electrolyte solutions and in the fields of kinetics, electrochemistry, colloid and interfacial chemistry, are outlined. Special attention is given to the problem of evaluation of individual ionic thermodynamic functions for the hydration of ions but, in some cases, corresponding data for nonaqueous solutions are available for discussion and are of interest in a comparative way. The reliability of the various methods is assessed and estimates of numerical values for various individual ionic functions are tabulated. The question of scales of individual ionic radii, on which some of the derived data depend, is also examined. The dependence of various properties for anions and for cations on ionic radius is discussed and data are plotted comparatively. It is shown that for most, but not all, properties, the values for anions are more sensitive to increasing ionic radius than are the values for cations. This behavior, as well as the exceptions, is of theoretical interest. The significance of ion-specific behavior at interfaces is considered and the importance of interactions between ions of like sign of charge is indicated.Presented at the Symposium on Electrolytes, University of Reading, September 13, 1977.

Film formation with latex particles

The coalescence of latex particles is investigated through small-angle neutron scattering and electron microscopy. The particles are made of a soft polymeric core protected by a hydrophilic membrane, and they are dispersed in water. This dispersion is spread on a substrate, and water is removed to form a dry film. As the membranes of neighboring particles come into contact, they may break up to allow fusion of the particle cores. This is found to occur when the membranes are made of short-chain surfactant molecules; then all hydrophilic material is expelled to the film surface or to large isolated lumps. Alternatively, the membranes may remain until the film is completely dry; this is found to occur when they are made of hydrophilic polymers which are grafted onto the core. Hence, the fusion of particles is controlled by the connectivity of membranes.This work used the neutron beams of ILL in Grenoble and LLB in Saclay

Validation of remote, on-line, near-infrared measurements for the classification of demolition waste

The classification performance, based on measurements obtained by a dedicated remote near-infrared sensor, is validated. Goal is the separation of demolition waste in three fractions: wood, plastic, and stone. In phase one, reference objects are collected and measured in order to develop the classification algorithm and to obtain reference classification results. In phases two and three, the validation performance and robustness are tested under laboratory and industrial conditions. In phase two, preliminary measurements are performed in the laboratory, indicating that some sensor hardware modifications are necessary. In phase three, measurements are performed on a pilot plant according to the following validation design. On the conveyor belt, objects are measured in the middle and at both borders, wet objects are measured in the middle, and a small set of objects is measured during 4 consecutive days. It is checked whether the classification performance obeys the predefined demands. The applied chemometrical techniques are well capable of separating dry demolition waste if the objects are positioned in the middle of the conveyor belt. It is recommended to overcome the sensor miniaturization-scale limitations by applying larger optical parts. The hardware sensor is not robust to wet objects, although this problem was accounted for during the development of the classification procedure. Including wet objects in the training set might overcome this restriction.

A detailed elastic analysis of the flat punch (tack) test for pressure‐sensitive adhesives

Detailed finite element calculations are carried out in order to study the mechanical response of a compliant layer sandwiched between a rigid cylindrical flat punch and a rigid substrate. Two cases of practical interest are considered: one in which the layer is perfectly bonded to the punch and the substrate and one in which the interface between the punch and the layer is frictionless. The substrate is assumed to be perfectly bonded to the adhesive layer in both cases. Analytic expressions are obtained for the stresses away from the edges, and the effect of lateral constraint is examined. The compliances of the loading systems for both cases are obtained numerically, and accurate analytic expressions are determined based on these numeric results. The nature of the stress fields near the contact edge are explored, and their connections with the energy release rate are determined. The relevance of these calculations to two recent adhesion tests is discussed. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 38: 2769–2784, 2000     

Relativistic quantum chemistry and rigorous variational analysis

A brief review of relativistic quantum chemistry is given here. Relativistic effects and their importance in chemistry are discussed. An outline of different theoretical aspects is presented. Aspects of variation techniques relevant to relativistic calculations are discussed in detail. These involve the derivation of min-max theorems for Dirac, Dirac-Hartree-Fock and Dirac-Coulomb calculations. The consequence of relativistic Hamiltonians being unbounded are also discussed for other lines of investigation. The upper bounds derived are physically interpreted. Sample Dirac-Hartree-Fock results for the Be atom, calculated using both STO and GTO bases for the nonrelativistic orbitals and the upper components of the relativistic orbitals, are given. The inadequacy of the so-called kinetically balanced basis set is discussed and illustrated with these results. The importance of the variational or dynamical balance and hence the merit of the LCAS-MS scheme is pointed out. The possibility of calculating quantum electrodynamical pair energy from relativistic configuration interaction calculations on a two-electron atom is discussed and exemplified. The present status of relativistic molecular calculations is briefly reviewed. Conclusions on the aspects of variational analysis and molecular calculations are enclosed.     

Optimization of St John's Wort flavonoid separation by reversed phase liquid chromatography on a silica-based monolithic column

Summary An optimization procedure for the separation of flavonoids from St John's Wort by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography on monolithic stationary phase is described. Three-component mobile phase systems are studied using experimental design methodology. The starting experimental domain is a triangle, each vertex of which is a pure component. From preliminary isocratic experiments, truncations in the domain are performed leading to a quadrilateral shape working domain with no symmetry. To cope with both separation and analysis time, desirability functions are used. Optimal conditions are finally given by binary systems and the four flavonoids are separated in less than seven minutes.     

Evaluation of a method for controlling molecular scaffold diversity in de novo ligand design

We describe an algorithm for the automated generation of molecular structures subject to geometric and connectivity constraints. The method relies on simulated annealing and simplex optimization of a penalty function that contains a variety of conditions and can be useful in structure-based drug design projects. The procedure controls the diversity and complexity of the generated molecules. Structure selection filters are an integral part and drive the algorithm. Several procedures have been developed to achieve reliable control. A number of template sets can be defined and combined to control the range of molecules which are searched. Ring systems are predefined. Normally, the ring-system complexity is one of the most elusive and difficult factors to control when fusion-, bridge- and spiro-structures are built by joining templates. Here this is not an issue; the decision about which systems are acceptable, and which are not, is made before the run is initiated. Queries for inclusion and exclusion spheres are incorporated into the objective function, and, by using a flexible notation, the structure generation can be directed and more focused. Simulated annealing is a reliable optimizer and converges asymptotically to the global minimum. The objective functions used here are degenerate, so it is likely that each run will produce a different set of good solutions.
