MOLGENGO: Finding Novel Molecules with Desired Electronic Properties by Capitalizing on Their Global Optimization.

ABSTRACT: The discovery of novel and favorable fluorophores is critical for understanding many chemical and biological studies. High-resolution biological imaging necessitates fluorophores with diverse colors and high quantum yields. The maximum oscillator strength and its corresponding absorption wavelength of a molecule are closely related to the quantum yields and the emission spectrum of fluorophores, respectively. Thus, the core step to design favorable fluorophore molecules is to optimize the desired electronic transition properties of molecules. Here, we present MOLGENGO, a new molecular property optimization algorithm, to discover novel and favorable fluorophores with machine learning and global optimization. This study reports novel molecules from MOLGENGO with high oscillator strength and absorption wavelength close to 200, 400, and 600 nm. The results of MOLGENGO simulations have the potential to be candidates for new fluorophore frameworks.

Project description:A persistent obstacle for constructing kinetic models of metabolism is uncertainty in the kinetic properties of enzymes. Currently, available methods for building kinetic models can cope indirectly with uncertainties by integrating data from different biological levels and origins into models. In this study, we use the recently proposed computational approach iSCHRUNK (in Silico Approach to Characterization and Reduction of Uncertainty in the Kinetic Models), which combines Monte Carlo parameter sampling methods and machine learning techniques, in the context of Bayesian inference. Monte Carlo parameter sampling methods allow us to exploit synergies between different data sources and generate a population of kinetic models that are consistent with the available data and physicochemical laws. The machine learning allows us to data-mine the a priori generated kinetic parameters together with the integrated datasets and derive posterior distributions of kinetic parameters consistent with the observed physiology. In this work, we used iSCHRUNK to address a design question: can we identify which are the kinetic parameters and what are their values that give rise to a desired metabolic behavior? Such information is important for a wide variety of studies ranging from biotechnology to medicine. To illustrate the proposed methodology, we performed Metabolic Control Analysis, computed the flux control coefficients of the xylose uptake (XTR), and identified parameters that ensure a rate improvement of XTR in a glucose-xylose co-utilizing S. cerevisiae strain. Our results indicate that only three kinetic parameters need to be accurately characterized to describe the studied physiology, and ultimately to design and control the desired responses of the metabolism. This framework paves the way for a new generation of methods that will systematically integrate the wealth of available omics data and efficiently extract the information necessary for metabolic engineering and synthetic biology decisions.
