On a Variational Definition for the Jensen-Shannon Symmetrization of Distances Based on the Information Radius

Frank Nielsen

Summary: The paper generalizes the Jensen-Shannon divergence and diversity index using a variational definition with respect to a generic mean, extending the concept of Sibson's information radius. The variational definition applies to arbitrary distances and provides a new way of defining Jensen-Shannon symmetrization of distances, as well as introducing relative Jensen-Shannon divergences for prescribed families of probability measures. Applications of these variational Jensen-Shannon divergences to clustering and quantization tasks of probability measures, including statistical mixtures, are also discussed.

Assessment of Globularity of Protein Structures via Minimum Volume Ellipsoids and Voxel-Based Atom Representation

Mateusz Banach

Summary: The algorithm presents a method to assess the globularity of protein structures by enclosing the input protein in a minimum volume ellipsoid and calculating a profile measuring how voxelized space within this shape is occupied by atoms. The method assigns globular status to proteins based on their ellipsoid indexes, above certain levels, and includes a companion method to detect and reduce the influence of structural outliers. The complete workflow of the algorithm is applied to over two thousand representatives of SCOP 2.08 domain superfamilies to survey the landscape of protein tertiary structure from the Protein Data Bank.

Model of Environmental Membrane Field for Transmembrane Proteins

Irena Roterman et al.

Summary: The water environment influences the activity of biological processes, with membrane proteins experiencing a change in hydrophobicity distribution when transitioning from a polar to a hydrophobic environment. The fuzzy oil drop model is utilized to interpret the structure of membrane proteins and describe both positive and negative cases involving protein behavior in different environments.

Contribution to the Understanding of Protein-Protein Interface and Ligand Binding Site Based on Hydrophobicity Distribution-Application to Ferredoxin I and II Cases

Mateusz Banach et al.

Summary: The study analyzes the hydrophobicity characteristics of Ferredoxin I and II using the fuzzy oil drop model, showing their specificity in binding ligands and forming complexes, which can be valuable for predicting protein structure. The observation of peculiarities in hydrophobicity distribution in proteins like Ferredoxin may serve as a promising starting point for computer simulations aimed at predicting protein quaternary structures.
