Equilibrium state of molecular breeding.

چکیده
We investigate the equilibrium state of the model of Peng, et al. for molecular breeding. In the model, a population of DNA sequences is successively culled by removing the sequences with the lowest binding affinity to a particular target sequence. The remaining sequences are then amplified to restore the original population size, undergoing some degree of point-substitution of nucleotides in the process. Working in the infinite population size limit, we derive an equation for the equilibrium distribution of binding affinity, here modeled by the number of matches to the target sequence. The equation is then solved approximately in the limit of large sequence length, in the three regimes of strong, intermediate and weak selection. The approximate solutions are verified via comparison to exact numerical results.

A Molecular-Based Equation of State for Vapour-liquid Equilibrium of Pure Substances
A semi-empirical equation of state has been studied for modelling vapour-liquid data of pure substances. The specific molecular based equation of state is employed here as basis because of its mathematical simplicity. The semi-empirical extension has been accomplished to real fluids by correlating the density dependence of the attraction term to vapour liquid data of a reference fluid. The resu...
متن کاملInvestigation of isomorph-invariance in liquid methane by molecular dynamics simulation
In this paper, isomorph invariance of liquid methane is investigated by means of constant-NVT molecular dynamics simulations. According to the data extracted from simulations, equilibrium fluctuations show strong correlation between potential energy U and virial W. We also generated isomorph state points and investigated invariance of certain thermodynamic, structural, and dynamical properties....

متن کاملIntroduction of a Novel Two-Dimensional Equation of State to Predict Gas Equilibrium Adsorption in Highly-Nonideal Systems
Abstract The accurate calculations of adsorption equilibrium for multicomponent gas systems are of great importance in many applications. In this paper, five two-dimensional equations of state 2D-EOS, i.e. Van der Waals, Eyring, Zhou-Ghasem-Robinson, Soave-Redlich-Kwong and Peng-Robinson, were examined to find out their abilities to predict adsorption equilibrium for pure and multi-component ga...
