Application of Information Theory

Systems can possess different extents of complexity. To measure complexity, the information content of the system can be used. Application of information theory is increasingly finitful for modeling biological activities with regard to the symmetry of molecules.

The observation that some sequence positions are more tolerant to mutation initiated the application of information theory as a method to understand the importance of these residues to the structure and function of the protein (Reidhaar-Olson and Sauer, 1988). A residue that is intolerant to mutations has high information content, whereas a tolerant residue has low information content. By fixing the amino acid identities of residues as the fitness is improved, optimization acts to...

Other relevant applications of information theory include the estimation of branching ratios [179] for reactions in which several products are possible and methods for transforming calculated collinear product energy distributions into three-dimensional distributions for comparison with experiment [180]. The literature and detailed descriptions of the methods of information theory may be found in the recent reviews of Levine and Bernstein [181], Levine [182] and Levine and Kinsey [178].

Information-theoretic ITs are calculated by the application of information theory on molecular graphs. An appropriate set A of elements is derived from a molecular graph G depending on certain structural characteristics. On the basis of an equivalence relation defined on A, the set A is partitioned into disjoint subsets A,- of order n, (i=l, 2,..., /i Sj n, = n). A probability distribution is then assigned to the set of equivalence classes ...
