As previously noted, the bioavailability of a compound is a complex function that includes contributions from absorption and clearance. Since the molecule must undergo these biological processes in all species, there is a temptation to assume a relationship between the bioavailability between species, and hence that human bioavailability can be predicted by such relationships. Although a linear correlation has been demonstrated for the rate/extent of absorption (% oral dose absorbed) between species for various drugs [6-8], there is clearly a lack of correlation for bioavailability between species [2, 8]. Figure 19.1 shows the excellent correlation in... 

During the last decade, density-functional theory (DFT)-based approaches [1, 2] have advanced to prominent first-principles quantum chemical methods. As computationally affordable tools apt to treat fairly extended systems at the correlated level, they are also of special interest for applications in medicinal chemistry (as demonstrated in the chapters by Rovira, Raber et al. and Cavalli et al. in this book). Several excellent text books [3-5] and reviews [6] are available as introduction to the basic theory and to the various flavors of its practical realization (in terms of different approximations for the exchange-correlation functional). The actual performance of these different approximations for diverse chemical [7] and biological systems [8] has been evaluated in a number of contributions. 

In Ref. 80 we carried out a W1 and W2 investigation for all six cases with X,Y F, Cl, Br, in order to assess the performance of a number of DFT exchange-correlation functionals. W2 is in excellent agreement with experiment where reliable experimental data are available in some other cases, the W1 calculations either suggest revisions or provide the only reliable data available (see Ref. 80 for details). 

The excellent correlation is probably fortuitous. While the data sets are too small to permit conclusive results, it seems likely that sets CR3 and CR4 are a function of polarizability and steric and/or electrical effects. 

A second important application of CMD has been to study the dynamics of the hydrated proton. This study involved extensive CMD simulations to determine the proton transport rate in on our Multi-State Empirical Valence Bond (MS-EVB) model for the hydrated proton. = Shown in Fig. 4 are results for the population correlation function, (n(t)n(O)), for the Eigen cation, HsO, in liquid water. Also shown is the correlation function for D3O+ in heavy water. It should be noted that the population correlation function is expected to decay exponentially at long times, the rate of which reflects the excess proton transport rate. The straight line fits (dotted lines) to the semi-log plots of the correlation functions give this rate. For the normal water case, the CMD simulation using the MS-EVB model yields excellent agreement with the experimental proton hopping... 

The separation between all Chivas and non-Chivas samples is not worsened. More, with the six retained variables the separation occurs along a single axis, because of the high correlation between the selected variables really, also in this case only two variables are needed to obtain a perfect classification, and a line in the plane of these two variables (isoamyl alcohol and acetaldehyde) is an excellent discriminating function. 

The authors finish by exploring the transferability of their force field parameters to a different zeolite, namely, silicalite. In this instance, a Fourier transform of the total dipole correlation function provides another model infrared (IR) spectrum for comparison to experiment, and again excellent agreement is obtained. Dominant computed bands appear at 1099, 806, 545, and464 cm while experimental bands are observed at 1100, 800,550, and 420 cm A Some errors in band intensity are observed in the lower energy region of tlie spectrum. 

The RIS model is usually considered to be an excellent description of the single-chain structure of polymer chains, the manifestation of which is the correlation function >W. The evaluation of csW from the RIS model requires laborious statistical averages, and, as a consequence, various approximations of m(r) are of importance. In the present paper, an approximation is presented which is accurate on all length scales. 

The quality of the fit is excellent as can be judged from Fig. 1(b). The following parameters of the frequency correlation function (Fig.lb, solid line) were obtained in the simulations 1/Afast 2 130 fs, Afas, = 90 cm 1, l/Asiow = 700 100 fs, Asiow = 65 cm 1. These results are in very good agreement with our previous findings from heterodyne-detected two-pulse photon echo experiments [19]. 

For d = 3 deviations of the correlation functions from their asymptotics in the limited the coordinate interval ( 2ro) are considerable. A fraction of very close similar defects, X(r —y 0, oo), exceeds 3—4 times its Poisson value. It gives an explanation and is in excellent agreement with the experimental data for unexpectedly high concentration of dimer F2 centres in KC1 (two nearest F centres) produced at 4 K after prolonged X-ray irradiation [13]. 

Because the response of a system to a specific weak probe is directly related to a correlation function, many experiments have been devised to determine specific correlation functions. Only a few such experiments will be mentioned here. The interested reader should consult the excellent reviews on the subject.12-16... 

The power spectrum of this approximate correlation function is in fair to excellent agreement with the experimental spectrum at high frequencies (o) > 1013/s). 

The density functional calculations of the electronic, and molecular structures of manganese complexes of catechol and pinacolborane were investigated at the DFT B3LYP and BP86 levels to understand the structures, bonding, and energetics of the interactions and were found to be in excellent correlation with the experimental values <2007JOM1997>. 

One of the most useful tools to spot and eliminate errors is a spreadsheet, such as Excel or QuattroPro. QSAR modelers very frequently use spreadsheets to organize data into columns and rows of standardized values of the independent and dependent parameters. Spreadsheets allow easy sorting and filtering — two important functions used to find problem data and duplicates and other errors. In addition, spreadsheets have search and replace routines, plotting, and correlation functions, which allow the data to be reviewed in various comprehensive ways. The data can also be exported to other file types, which allow analysis by other software for statistics and any types of quantitative and qualitative relationships that may exist. It cannot be emphasized enough that the typical spreadsheet functions (including graphing functions) are excellent tools to find and eliminate erroneous or questionable values, duplicates, and other problem entries. 

In this framework, we present the repercussions on the physical properties of a renormalized indirect correlation function y (r) conjugated with an optimized division scheme. All the units are expressed in terms of the LJ parameters, that is, reduced temperature T = kBT/e and reduced density p = pa3. In order to examine the consequences of a renormalization scheme, the direct correlation function c(r) calculated from ZSEP conjugated with DHH splitting is compared in Fig. 7 to those obtained with the WCA separation. For high densities, the differences arise mainly in the core region for y(r) and c(r) [77]. These calculated quantities are in excellent agreement with simulation data. The reader has to note that similar results have been obtained with the ODS scheme (see Ref [80]). Since the acuracy of c(r) can be affected by the choice of a division scheme, the isothermal compressibility is affected too, as can be seen in Table III for the pkBTxT quantity. As compared to the values obtained with... 

Since experiments for Kr have been performed at small angle neutron scattering for some low density states, we present the results of the Fourier transform of the direct correlation function, c(q) = (S(q) — 1 )/p.S (7/), rather than those of the structure factor S(q). Figure 20 shows the curves of c q). As it can be seen, the theoretical results, obtained by HMSA+WCA and MD with the AS plus AT potentials, are in excellent agreement with the experimental data [12]. While the AT contribution is included by means of an effective pair potential in the SCIET, it is used under its original form owing to Eqs.(l 19) and... 

One other second-order integral equation calculation has been made. Henderson and Sokolowski [50] and Henderson et al. [51] have calculated the correlation functions of a hard sphere mixture, when X2 — 0, using the PY2 theory. They find excellent agreement with the HC formulae, Eqs. (42) and (43) with Eq. (41) for g (d ). In particular, the limit 2 = 0, the HNC/PY/PY approximation for 22( 22) is rather good.
