Scoring components

The diversity clustering analysis that was used to choose the final components of the directed library proved useful to design a second generation library quickly. We re-examined the clusters of the top scoring components, and generated a small library of 39 compounds from other components in those clusters. These are components that combiBUILD predicted would bind well, and which were similar to compounds that had already been shown experimentally to bind well. Almost all (92%) had IC50 better than lpM, and 18% were nanomolar inhibitors, the best with a Ki of 9nM. 

Figure 17. The combinatorial DOCK algorithm. The receptor site is filled with spheres and then the scaffold atom-atom internal distances are matched to the site sphere-sphere distances. The matching process is used to orient the scaffold inside the active site. All components from all attachment sites are placed on the scaffold individually and scored. The top scoring components are combined on the scaffold, and tested for intramolecular clashes. Resulting best scores are saved. The process is repeated for a new orientation.

The monomers exceeding 35 per gram were removed and the 50 highest scoring components from all the conformational families were merged to create the corresponding virtual compounds (g, Fig. 5.30). The compounds were clustered (h. Fig. 

SARI is constituted by two individual score components that evaluate the similarity spectrum within a compound class and potency differences between related ligands as the major determinants of SAR characteristics. Two-dimensional structural similarity of compounds is calculated using the Tanimoto coefficient for MACCS structural keys and potency is represented by either pA or pICso values. Both individual scores of the SARI are first calculated in a raw numerical form and then transformed into final normalized scores. 

The energy scoring component of DOCK [55-57] is also based on the implementation of force field scoring. The program offers the possibility of precomputing the van der Waals and electrostatic potentials for the receptor and...

Thus, the principal effect upon mixing appears to be a reduction of scores for various odor notes from the level of the score for the most highly scored component. Odor notes also appear to differ in their resistance to such degradation. Apparently, introduction of other odor notes on mixing usually weakens the level of the odor notes of the components in an analogy to the role of an auditory noise in sound recognition.

PCR is a combination of PCA and MLR, which are described in Sections 9.4.4 and 9.4.3 respectively. First, a principal component analysis is carried out which yields a loading matrix P and a scores matrix T as described in Section 9.4.4. For the ensuing MLR only PCA scores are used for modeling Y The PCA scores are inherently imcorrelated, so they can be employed directly for MLR. A more detailed description of PCR is given in Ref. [5. ... 

The selection of relevant effects for the MLR in PCR can be quite a complex task. A straightforward approach is to take those PCA scores which have a variance above a certain threshold. By varying the number of PCA components used, the... 

The procedure is as follows first, the principal components for X and Yare calculated separately (cf. Section 9.4.4). The scores of the matrix X are then used for a regression model to predict the scores of Y, which can then be used to predict Y. 

As described above, PCA can be used for similarity detection The score plot of two principal components can be used to indicate which objects are similar. 

Initially, the first two principal components were calculated. This yielded the principal components which are given in Figure 9-9 (left) and plotted in Figure 9-9 (right). The score plot shows which mineral water samples have similar mineral concentrations and which are quite different. For e3oimple, the mineral waters 6 and 7 are similar whUe 4 and 7 are rather dissimilar. 

Seafood Toxins. Vktually scores of fish and shellfish species have been reported to have toxic manifestations. Most of these toxicities have been shown to be microbiological ki origin. There are a few, however, that are natural components of seafoods. 

An assessment package is a tool within a system. It can provide assessment forms, guidance notes and scoring guidelines to conduct an evaluation of a toller s quality/safety system. This sample uses assessment forms to evaluate fourteen components. The results are then compiled in the evaluation summary. The evaluation summary is the basis for a report back to the toller and for mutual discussion... 

The assessor will summarize the results for each component (percentage S D) in the Evaluation Summary table. A score will be awarded for the entire assessment and will be recorded average percentage. In the following tables, S = System D = Documentation. 

As we will soon see, the nature of the work makes it extremely convenient to organize our data into matrices. (If you are not familiar with data matrices, please see the explanation of matrices in Appendix A before continuing.) In particular, it is useful to organize the dependent and independent variables into separate matrices. In the case of spectroscopy, if we measure the absorbance spectra of a number of samples of known composition, we assemble all of these spectra into one matrix which we will call the absorbance matrix. We also assemble all of the concentration values for the sample s components into a separate matrix called the concentration matrix. For those who are keeping score, the absorbance matrix contains the independent variables (also known as the x-data or the x-block), and the concentration matrix contains the dependent variables (also called the y-data or the y-block). 

Fig. 32.9. Thermometer plot representing the scores of the first and second component of a CFA applied to Table 32.10. The solid line denotes the first component which accounts for the women/men contrast in the data. The broken line corresponds with the second component which reveals a contrast between chemistry and other fields.

The score matrix T gives the location of the spectra in the space defined by the two principal components. Figure 34.5 shows a scores plot thus obtained with a clear structure (curve). The cause of this structure is explained in Section 34.2.1. 

In their fundamental paper on curve resolution of two-component systems, Lawton and Sylvestre [7] studied a data matrix of spectra recorded during the elution of two constituents. One can decide either to estimate the pure spectra (and derive from them the concentration profiles) or the pure elution profiles (and derive from them the spectra) by factor analysis. Curve resolution, as developed by Lawton and Sylvestre, is based on the evaluation of the scores in the PC-space. Because the scores of the spectra in the PC-space defined by the wavelengths have a clearer structure (e.g. a line or a curve) than the scores of the elution profiles in the PC-space defined by the elution times, curve resolution usually estimates pure spectra. Thereafter, the pure elution profiles are estimated from the estimated pure spectra. Because no information on the specific order of the spectra is used, curve resolution is also applicable when the sequence of the spectra is not in a specific order.
