The objective of this paper is to present a methodology for developing and calibrating models of complex reaction/transport systems. In particular, the complex network of biochemical reaction/transport processes and their spatial organization make the development of a predictive model of a living cell a grand challenge for the 21st century. However, advances in reaction/transport modeling and the exponentially growing databases of genomic, proteomic, metabolic, and bioelectric data make cell modeling feasible, if these two elements can be automatically integrated in an unbiased fashion. In this paper, we present a procedure to integrate data with a new cell model, Karyote, that accounts for many of the physical processes needed to attain the goal of predictive modeling. Our integration methodology is based on the use of information theory. The model is integrated with a variety of types and qualities of experimental data using an objective error assessment approach. Data that can be used in this approach include NMR, spectroscopy, microscopy, and electric potentiometry. The approach is demonstrated on the well-studied Trypanosoma brucei system. A major obstacle for the development of a predictive cell model is that the complexity of these systems makes it unlikely that any model presently available will soon be complete in terms of the set of processes accounted for. Thus, one is faced with the challenge of calibrating and running an incomplete model. We present a probability functional method that allows the integration of experimental data and soft information such as choice of error measure, a priori information, and physically motivated regularization to address the incompleteness challenge.

On the SmCo Dimer: A Detailed Density Functional Theory Analysis
Oymak, Hueseyin; Erkoç, Şakir (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2010-02-04)
Making use of 21 different exchange-correlation functionals, we performed density functional theory calculations, within the effective core potential level, to investigate some spectroscopic and electronic features of the SmCo dimer in its ground state. A particular emphasis was placed on the (spin) multiplicity of SmCo. Most of the functionals under discussion unanimously agreed that the multiplicity of SmCo should be 10. It was observed that the nature of interaction between Sm and Co atoms to form the Sm...
Potential Energy Surfaces for Vibrational Structure Calculations from a Multiresolution Adaptive Density-Guided Approach: Implementation and Test Calculations
Sparta, Manuel; Hoyvik, Ida-Marie; Toffolı, Danıele; Christiansen, Ove (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2009-07-30)
A multiresolution procedure to construct potential energy surfaces (PESs) for use in vibrational structure calculations is developed in the framework of the adaptive density-guided approach. The implementation of the method allows the construction of hybrid PESs with different mode-coupling terms calculated with a variety of combinations of electronic structure methods and basis sets. Furthermore, the procedure allows the construction of hybrid PESs that incorporate a variety of contributions and correction...

Single crystal molecular structure and solution photophysical properties are reported for 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (1), of interest its a model compound in studies of singlet fission. For the ground state of I and of its radical cation (1(+center dot)) and anion (1(-center dot)), we report the UV-visible absorption spectra, and for neutral 1, also the magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) and the decomposition of the absorption spectrum into purely polarized components, deduced from fluorescence polarization. ...
Investigation of structure-spectroscopy-function relationship of two-dimensional J-aggregates of tetrachlorobenzimidazolocarbocyanine preferentially oriented in poly-vinyl-alcohol thin films
Gulen, Demet; Atasoylu, Onur; ÖZÇELİK, Serdar (Elsevier BV, 2009-01-07)
The structure-spectroscopy-function relationship of 1,1',1,3,3'-tetraethyl-5,5',6,6'-tetrachlorobenzimidazolocarbocyanine (TTBC) aggregates is studied using a combination of experimental and theoretical techniques. The aggregates are macroscopically aligned in poly-vinyl-alcohol thin films by vertical spin coating. Angular dependence of the UV-Vis spectra is measured at eleven different orientations between the electric field polarization and the macroscopic alignment axis. The aggregates are characterized ...
A hierarchy of potential energy surfaces constructed from energies and energy derivatives calculated on grids
Matito, Eduard; Toffolı, Danıele; Christiansen, Ove (AIP Publishing, 2009-04-07)
In this work we develop and test a methodology for the generation of Born-Oppenheimer potential energy surfaces (PES) for use in vibrational structure calculations. The method relies on the widely used restricted-mode-coupling expansion of the fully coupled potential surface where only up to n or less vibrational coordinates are coupled in the potential. Low-order derivatives of the energy are then used to extrapolate the higher mode-coupling potential terms; derivative information is thus used in a conveni...
