In this study, we present a new model that has been developed for the prediction of θ (lower critical solution temperature) using a database of 169 data points that include 12 polymers and 67 solvents. For the characterization of polymer and solvent molecules, a number of molecular descriptors (topological, physicochemical,steric and electronic) were examined. The best subset of descriptors was...

Abstract Poly-parameter Linear Free Energy Relationships (PPLFERs) based on the Abraham solvation model are a useful tool for predicting and interpreting equilibrium partitioning of solutes in solvent systems. The focus this work is neutral organic liquid solvent-air This follow-up to previous (Brown, 2021) which developed predictive empirical correlations between solute descriptors system para...

In herbal medicinal products the entire herbal drug or an herbal drug preparation is regarded as the active pharmaceutical ingredient, regardless of whether constituents with defined therapeutic activity are known. In quality control and stability testing of herbal medicinal products, fingerprint chromatograms are used as powerful tools to evaluate and compare the composition of compounds in su...

In this article, we consider cross-validation of the quantitative structure-property relationship models for reactions and show that conventional k-fold (CV) procedure gives an ‘optimistically’ biased assessment prediction performance. To address issue, suggest two strategies model cross-validation, ‘transformation-out’ CV, ‘solvent-out’ CV. Unlike approach does not nature objects, proposed pro...

Identification and prediction of RNA-binding residues (RBRs) provides valuable insights into the mechanisms of protein-RNA interactions. We analyzed the contributions of a wide range of factors including amino acid sequence, evolutionary conservation, secondary structure and solvent accessibility, to the prediction/characterization of RBRs. Five feature sets were designed and feature selection ...

The recently developed technique of maximum-likelihood density modification [Terwilliger (2000), Acta Cryst. D56, 965-972] allows a calculation of phase probabilities based on the likelihood of the electron-density map to be carried out separately from the calculation of any prior phase probabilities. Here, it is shown that phase-probability distributions calculated from the map-likelihood func...

Amide solvent exchange rates are regarded as a valuable source of information on structure/dynamics of unfolded (disordered) proteins. Proton-based saturation transfer experiments, normally used to measure solvent exchange, are known to meet some serious difficulties. The problems mainly arise from the need to (1) manipulate water magnetization and (2) discriminate between multiple magnetizatio...
