Protein linear indices of the ‘macromolecular pseudograph α-carbon atom adjacency matrix’ in bioinformatics. Part 1: Prediction of protein stability effects of a complete set of alanine substitutions in Arc repressor
Abstract A novel approach to bio-macromolecular design from a linear algebra point of view is introduced. A protein’s total (whole protein) and local (one or more amino acid) linear indices are a new set of bio-macromolecular descriptors of relevance to protein QSAR/QSPR studies. These amino-acid level biochemical descriptors are based on the calculation of linear maps on R n [ f k ( x m i ) : R n → R n ] in canonical basis. These bio-macromolecular indices are calculated from the kth power of the macromolecular pseudograph α-carbon atom adjacency matrix. Total linear indices are linear functional on R n . That is, the kth total linear indices are linear maps from R n to the scalar R [ f k …
Atom, atom-type, and total nonstochastic and stochastic quadratic fingerprints: a promising approach for modeling of antibacterial activity.
The TOpological MOlecular COMputer Design (TOMOCOMD-CARDD) approach has been introduced for the classification and design of antimicrobial agents using computer-aided molecular design. For this propose, atom, atom-type, and total quadratic indices have been generalized to codify chemical structure information. In this sense, stochastic quadratic indices have been introduced for the description of the molecular structure. These stochastic fingerprints are based on a simple model for the intramolecular movement of all valence-bond electrons. In this work, a complete data set containing 1006 antimicrobial agents is collected and presented. Two structure-based antibacterial activity classificat…
Bond-based 3D-chiral linear indices: Theory and QSAR applications to central chirality codification
The recently introduced non-stochastic and stochastic bond-based linear indices are been generalized to codify chemical structure information for chiral drugs, making use of a trigonometric 3D-chirality correction factor. These improved modified descriptors are applied to several well-known data sets to validate each one of them. Particularly, Cramer's steroid data set has become a benchmark for the assessment of novel quantitative structure activity relationship methods. This data set has been used by several researchers using 3D-QSAR approaches such as Comparative Molecular Field Analysis, Molecular Quantum Similarity Measures, Comparative Molecular Moment Analysis, E-state, Mapping Prope…
