Predicting Abraham model solvent coefficients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Abraham general solvation model can be used in a broad set of scenarios involving partitioning and solubility, yet is limited to a set of solvents with measured Abraham coefficients. Here we extend the range of applicability of Abraham's model by creating open models that can be used to predict the solvent coefficients for all organic solvents.

Results

We created open random forest models for the solvent coefficients e, s, a, b, and v that had out-of-bag R(2) values of 0.31, 0.77, 0.92, 0.47, and 0.63 respectively. The models were used to suggest sustainable solvent replacements for commonly used solvents. For example, our models predict that propylene glycol may be used as a general sustainable solvent replacement for methanol.

Conclusion

The solvent coefficient models extend the range of applicability of the Abraham general solvation equations to all organic solvents. The models were developed under Open Notebook Science conditions which makes them open, reproducible, and as useful as possible.

Predicting the activity coefficients of free-solvent for concentrated globular protein solutions using independently determined physical parameters.

Project description:The activity coefficient is largely considered an empirical parameter that was traditionally introduced to correct the non-ideality observed in thermodynamic systems such as osmotic pressure. Here, the activity coefficient of free-solvent is related to physically realistic parameters and a mathematical expression is developed to directly predict the activity coefficients of free-solvent, for aqueous protein solutions up to near-saturation concentrations. The model is based on the free-solvent model, which has previously been shown to provide excellent prediction of the osmotic pressure of concentrated and crowded globular proteins in aqueous solutions up to near-saturation concentrations. Thus, this model uses only the independently determined, physically realizable quantities: mole fraction, solvent accessible surface area, and ion binding, in its prediction. Predictions are presented for the activity coefficients of free-solvent for near-saturated protein solutions containing either bovine serum albumin or hemoglobin. As a verification step, the predictability of the model for the activity coefficient of sucrose solutions was evaluated. The predicted activity coefficients of free-solvent are compared to the calculated activity coefficients of free-solvent based on osmotic pressure data. It is observed that the predicted activity coefficients are increasingly dependent on the solute-solvent parameters as the protein concentration increases to near-saturation concentrations.

Predicting protein diffusion coefficients.

Project description:Diffusion coefficients for proteins in water are predicted. The numerical method developed is general enough to be applied to a wide range of protein surface shapes, from rodlike to globular. Results are presented for lysozyme and tobacco mosaic virus, and they are compared with actual data and with predictions made by less general methods.

Predicting Sorbent-Air Partition Coefficients for Terpenoids at Multiple Temperatures.

Project description:Partition coefficients describe the relative concentration of a chemical equilibrated between two phases. In the design of air samplers, the sorbent-air partition coefficient is a critical parameter, as is the ability to extrapolate or predict partitioning at a variety of temperatures. Our specific interest is the partitioning of plant-derived terpenes (hydrocarbons formed from isoprene building blocks) and terpenoids (with oxygen-containing functional groups) in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) sorbents. To predict KPDMS/AIR as a function of temperature for compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, we developed a group contribution model that explicitly incorporates the van't Hoff equation. For the 360 training compounds, predicted KPDMS/AIR values strongly correlate (R2 > 0.987) with KPDMS/AIR values measured at temperatures from 60 °C to 200 °C. To validate the model with available literature data, we compared predictions for 50 additional C10 compounds, including 6 terpenes and 22 terpenoids, with KPDMS/AIR values measured at 100 °C and determined an average relative error of 3.1 %. We also compared predictions with KPDMS/AIR values measured at 25 °C. The modeling approach developed here is advantageous for properties with limited experimental values at a single temperature.

Predicting the Solubility of Pharmaceutical Cocrystals in Solvent/Anti-Solvent Mixtures.

Project description:In this work, the solubilities of pharmaceutical cocrystals in solvent/anti-solvent systems were predicted using PC-SAFT in order to increase the efficiency of cocrystal formation processes. Modeling results and experimental data were compared for the cocrystal system nicotinamide/succinic acid (2:1) in the solvent/anti-solvent mixtures ethanol/water, ethanol/acetonitrile and ethanol/ethyl acetate at 298.15 K and in the ethanol/ethyl acetate mixture also at 310.15 K. The solubility of the investigated cocrystal slightly increased when adding small amounts of anti-solvent to the solvent, but drastically decreased for high anti-solvent amounts. Furthermore, the solubilities of nicotinamide, succinic acid and the cocrystal in the considered solvent/anti-solvent mixtures showed strong deviations from ideal-solution behavior. However, by accounting for the thermodynamic non-ideality of the components, PC-SAFT is able to predict the solubilities in all above-mentioned solvent/anti-solvent systems in good agreement with the experimental data.

Predicting partition coefficients for the SAMPL7 physical property challenge using the ClassicalGSG method.

Project description:The prediction of [Formula: see text] values is one part of the statistical assessment of the modeling of proteins and ligands (SAMPL) blind challenges. Here, we use a molecular graph representation method called Geometric Scattering for Graphs (GSG) to transform atomic attributes to molecular features. The atomic attributes used here are parameters from classical molecular force fields including partial charges and Lennard-Jones interaction parameters. The molecular features from GSG are used as inputs to neural networks that are trained using a "master" dataset comprised of over 41,000 unique [Formula: see text] values. The specific molecular targets in the SAMPL7 [Formula: see text] prediction challenge were unique in that they all contained a sulfonyl moeity. This motivated a set of ClassicalGSG submissions where predictors were trained on different subsets of the master dataset that are filtered according to chemical types and/or the presence of the sulfonyl moeity. We find that our ranked prediction obtained 5th place with an RMSE of 0.77 [Formula: see text] units and an MAE of 0.62, while one of our non-ranked predictions achieved first place among all submissions with an RMSE of 0.55 and an MAE of 0.44. After the conclusion of the challenge we also examined the performance of open-source force field parameters that allow for an end-to-end [Formula: see text] predictor model: General AMBER Force Field (GAFF), Universal Force Field (UFF), Merck Molecular Force Field 94 (MMFF94) and Ghemical. We find that ClassicalGSG models trained with atomic attributes from MMFF94 can yield more accurate predictions compared to those trained with CGenFF atomic attributes.

The SAMPL6 challenge on predicting octanol-water partition coefficients from EC-RISM theory.

Project description:Results are reported for octanol-water partition coefficients (log P) of the neutral states of drug-like molecules provided during the SAMPL6 (Statistical Assessment of Modeling of Proteins and Ligands) blind prediction challenge from applying the "embedded cluster reference interaction site model" (EC-RISM) as a solvation model for quantum-chemical calculations. Following the strategy outlined during earlier SAMPL challenges we first train 1- and 2-parameter water-free ("dry") and water-saturated ("wet") models for n-octanol solvation Gibbs energies with respect to experimental values from the "Minnesota Solvation Database" (MNSOL), yielding a root mean square error (RMSE) of 1.5 kcal mol-1 for the best-performing 2-parameter wet model, while the optimal water model developed for the pKa part of the SAMPL6 challenge is kept unchanged (RMSE 1.6 kcal mol-1 for neutral compounds from a model trained on both neutral and ionic species). Applying these models to the blind prediction set yields a log P RMSE of less than 0.5 for our best model (2-parameters, wet). Further analysis of our results reveals that a single compound is responsible for most of the error, SM15, without which the RMSE drops to 0.2. Since this is the only compound in the challenge dataset with a hydroxyl group we investigate other alcohols for which Gibbs energy of solvation data for both water and n-octanol are available in the MNSOL database to demonstrate a systematic cause of error and to discuss strategies for improvement.

Model selection for Cox models with time-varying coefficients.

Project description:Summary Cox models with time-varying coefficients offer great flexibility in capturing the temporal dynamics of covariate effects on right-censored failure times. Because not all covariate coefficients are time varying, model selection for such models presents an additional challenge, which is to distinguish covariates with time-varying coefficient from those with time-independent coefficient. We propose an adaptive group lasso method that not only selects important variables but also selects between time-independent and time-varying specifications of their presence in the model. Each covariate effect is partitioned into a time-independent part and a time-varying part, the latter of which is characterized by a group of coefficients of basis splines without intercept. Model selection and estimation are carried out through a fast, iterative group shooting algorithm. Our approach is shown to have good properties in a simulation study that mimics realistic situations with up to 20 variables. A real example illustrates the utility of the method.

Excluded volume approximation to protein-solvent interaction. The solvent contact model.

Project description:Important properties of globular proteins, such as the stability of its folded state, depend sensitively on interactions with solvent molecules. Existing methods for estimating these interactions, such as the geometrical surface model, are either physically misleading or too time consuming to be applied routinely in energy calculations. As an alternative, we derive here a simple model for the interactions between protein atoms and solvent atoms in the first hydration layer, the solvent contact model, based on the conservation of the total number of atomic contacts, a consequence of the excluded-volume effect. The model has the conceptual advantage that protein-protein contacts and protein-solvent contacts are treated in the same language and the technical advantage that the solvent term becomes a particularly simple function of interatomic distances. The model allows rapid calculation of any physical property that depends only on the number and type of protein-solvent nearest-neighbor contacts. We propose use of the method in the calculation of protein solvation energies, conformational energy calculations, and molecular dynamics simulations.

Predicting Displaceable Water Sites Using Mixed-Solvent Molecular Dynamics.

Project description:Water molecules are an important factor in protein-ligand binding. Upon binding of a ligand with a protein's surface, waters can either be displaced by the ligand or may be conserved and possibly bridge interactions between the protein and ligand. Depending on the specific interactions made by the ligand, displacing waters can yield a gain in binding affinity. The extent to which binding affinity may increase is difficult to predict, as the favorable displacement of a water molecule is dependent on the site-specific interactions made by the water and the potential ligand. Several methods have been developed to predict the location of water sites on a protein's surface, but the majority of methods are not able to take into account both protein dynamics and the interactions made by specific functional groups. Mixed-solvent molecular dynamics (MixMD) is a cosolvent simulation technique that explicitly accounts for the interaction of both water and small molecule probes with a protein's surface, allowing for their direct competition. This method has previously been shown to identify both active and allosteric sites on a protein's surface. Using a test set of eight systems, we have developed a method using MixMD to identify conserved and displaceable water sites. Conserved sites can be determined by an occupancy-based metric to identify sites which are consistently occupied by water even in the presence of probe molecules. Conversely, displaceable water sites can be found by considering the sites which preferentially bind probe molecules. Furthermore, the inclusion of six probe types allows the MixMD method to predict which functional groups are capable of displacing which water sites. The MixMD method consistently identifies sites which are likely to be nondisplaceable and predicts the favorable displacement of water sites that are known to be displaced upon ligand binding.
