    Abstract Simulation of the physicochemical and biochemical behavior of nanomaterials has its own specifics. However, the main goal of modeling for both traditional substances and nanomaterials is the same. This is an ecologic risk assessment. The universal indicator of toxicity is the n-octanol/water partition coefficient. Mutagenicity indicates the possibility of future undesirable environmental effects, possibly greater than toxicity. Models have been proposed for the octanol/water distribution coefficient of gold nanoparticles and the mutagenicity of silver nanoparticles. Unlike the previous studies, here the models are built using an updated scheme, which includes two improvements. Firstly, the computing involves a new criterion for prediction potential, the so-called coefficient of conformism of a correlative prediction (CCCP); secondly, the Las Vegas algorithm is used to select the potentially most promising models from a group of models obtained by the Monte Carlo algorithm. Apparently, CCCP is a measure of the predictive potential (not only correlation). This can give an advantage in developing a model in comparison to using the classic determination coefficient. Likely, CCCP can be more informative than the classical determination coefficient. The Las Vegas algorithm is able to improve the model obtained by the Monte Carlo method.

    Abstract The minimal inhibitory concentrations (pMIC) are a valuable measure of the biological activity of polypeptides. Numerical data on the pMIC are necessary to systematize knowledge on polypeptides' biochemical behaviour. The model of negative decimal logarithm of pMIC of polypeptides in the form of a mathematical function of a sequence of amino acids is suggested. The suggested model is based on the so-called correlation weights of amino acids together with the correlation weights of fragments of local symmetry (FLS). Three kinds of the FLS are considered: (i) three-symbol fragments '…xyx…', (ii) four-symbol fragments '…xyyx…', and (iii) five-symbol fragments '…xyzyx…'. The models built using the Monte Carlo technique improved by applying the index of ideality of correlation (IIC) and correlation intensity index (CII).

This information is presented by quasi-SMILES.

    Abstract Basic principles and problems of the systematization of data on nanomaterials are discussed. The eclectic character of nanomaterials is defined as the key difference between nanomaterials and traditional substances. The quasi-SMILES technique is described and discussed. The possible role of the approach is bridging between experimentalists and developers of models for endpoints related to nanomaterials. The use of models on the possible impact of nanomaterials on the environment and human health has been collected and compared. The new criteria of the predictive potential for the above models are discussed. The advantage of the statistical criteria sensitive simultaneously to both the correlation coefficient and the root mean square error noted. The rejection of the border between the effect of the biochemical reality of substances at a molecular level and the effect of experiment conditions at the macro level gives the possibility to develop models that are epistemologically more reliable in the comparison with traditional models based exclusively on the molecular structure-biological activity interdependence (without taking into account experimental conditions). Models of the physicochemical and biochemical behaviour of nanomaterials are necessary in order to develop and apply new industrial achievements, everyday comfort species, medicine, cosmetics, and foods without negative effects on ecology and human health. The CORAL (abbreviation CORrelation And Logic) software provides the user with the possibility to build up nano-QSAR models as a mathematical function of so-called correlation weights of fragments of quasi-SMILES. These models are built up via the Monte Carlo method. Apparently, the quasi-SMILES is a universal representation of nano-reality since there is no limitation to choose the list of eclectic data able to have an impact on nano-phenomena. This paradigm is a convenient language to the conversation of experimentalists and developers of models for nano-phenomena.

    Abstract A simulation of the effect of metal nano-oxides at various concentrations (25, 50, 100, and 200 milligrams per millilitre) on cell viability in THP-1 cells (%) based on data on the molecular structure of the oxide and its concentration is proposed. We used a simplified molecular input-line entry system (SMILES) to represent the molecular structure. So-called quasi-SMILES extends usual SMILES with special codes for experimental conditions (concentration). The approach based on building up models using quasi-SMILES is self-consistent, i.e., the predictive potential of the model group obtained by random splits into training and validation sets is stable. The Monte Carlo method was used as a basis for building up the above groups of models. The CORAL software was applied to building the Monte Carlo calculations. The average determination coefficient for the five different validation sets was R

    Abstract Risk assessment of toxicants mainly is a result of experiments with single substances. However, toxicity in natural ecosystems typically does not result from single toxicant exposure but is rather a result of exposure to mixtures of toxicants. It is not surprising a mixture of toxicity is a subject of eco-toxicological interest for several decades. A quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR)-based approach is an attractive approach to assessing the joint effects in the binary mixtures. The validity of the proposed approach was demonstrated by comparing the predicted values against the experimentally determined values. Simplified molecular input-line entry system (SMILES) is used for the representation of the molecular structures of components of two-component mixtures to build up QSAR. The SMILES-based models are improving if the Monte Carlo optimization aimed to define 2D-optimal descriptors apply the so-called index of ideality of correlation (IIC), which is a mathematical function of both the correlation coefficient and mean absolute error calculated for the positive and negative difference between observed and calculated values of toxicity. The average statistical quality of these models (for the validation set) is n=25, R

    Abstract The application of nanomaterials is expanding. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the relationship between the structure and toxicity of different nanomaterials. Quasi-SMILES is a line of symbols which are codes of corresponding conditions of experiments aimed to estimate the toxicity of ZnO nanoparticles towards the rat via intraperitoneal injections. By means of the Monte Carlo method, the so-called correlation weights for fragments of quasi-SMILES can be calculated. Having the numerical data on the correlation weights one can build up a one-variable model for the toxicity. The checking up of the approach with five random splits of all available data on results of thirty-six experiments into a sub-system of training and sub-system of validation has confirmed the significance of the statistical quality of models obtained with the above approach. The average determination coefficient equal to 0.957 (dispersion 0.010) and average root mean square error equal to 7.25 [mg/kg] (dispersion 0.59 [mg/kg]).
