SYNOPSIS: SYNthesize and OPtimize System in Silico. J. Med. Chem. 2003, 46, 2765–2773. [ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] [ PubMed][ Green Version] Protons are positively charged particles found within atomic nuclei. Rutherford discovered them in experiments with cathode-ray tubes that were conducted between 1911 and 1919. Protons are about 99.86% as massive as neutrons according to the Jefferson Lab. MRI imaging works by subjecting hydrogen nuclei, which are abundant in the water in soft tissues, to fluctuating magnetic fields, which cause them to emit their own magnetic field. This signal is then read by sensors in the machine and interpreted by a computer to form a detailed image. An atom is the smallest component of an element that retains all of the chemical properties of that element. For example, one hydrogen atom has all of the properties of the element hydrogen, such as it exists as a gas at room temperature, and it bonds with oxygen to create a water molecule. Hydrogen atoms cannot be broken down into anything smaller while still retaining the properties of hydrogen. If a hydrogen atom were broken down into subatomic particles, it would no longer have the properties of hydrogen.

Rutherford was able to approximate the size of the nucleus of the gold atom, finding it to be at least 10,000 times smaller than the size of the entire atom with much of the atom being empty space. Rutherford's model of the atom is still the basic model that is used today.

Normally, SOAP similarity uses a dot product on normalized SOAP vectors; however, in our experience this reduces the discriminative ability of the representation.

The hydrogen and oxygen atoms that combine to form water molecules are bound together by covalent bonds. The electron from the hydrogen atom divides its time between the outer shell of the hydrogen atom and the incomplete outer shell of the oxygen atom. To completely fill the outer shell of an oxygen atom, two electrons from two hydrogen atoms are needed, hence the subscript “2” in H 2O. The electrons are shared between the atoms, dividing their time between them to “fill” the outer shell of each. This sharing is a lower energy state for all of the atoms involved than if they existed without their outer shells filled.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] Although electrons do not follow rigid orbits a set distance away from the atom’s nucleus, they do tend to stay within certain regions of space called electron shells. An electron shell is a layer of electrons that encircle the nucleus at a distinct energy level.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] Thus, in these first two cases, we see that the LER approach discovers well-known, and physically important structures or defects that are commonly identified in metallic structures. Perhaps even more interesting is the second LAE in Fig. 5b, which has the highest relative importance of all (≈9%). The centro-symmetry parameter (CSP) for the atom at the center of the LAE is 0.125, or close to a perfectly structured FCC lattice, as visual inspection of the LAE would suggest. However, the CSP cannot be directly compared with the LAE because CSP examines only nearest neighbors while the LAE encompasses a larger environment, including the defect at the edge of the LAE. 47 Most importantly, this structure may not be immediately identified with any known metallic defect, but we know that it is highly correlated with thermally activated mobility across all the GBs in the data set.

In their most common form, many elements also contain the same number of neutrons as protons. The most common form of carbon, for example, has six neutrons as well as six protons, for a total of 12 subatomic particles in its nucleus. An element’s mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. So the most common form of carbon’s mass number is 12. (Electrons have so little mass that they do not appreciably contribute to the mass of an atom.) Carbon is a relatively light element. Uranium (U), in contrast, has a mass number of 238 and is referred to as a heavy metal. Its atomic number is 92 (it has 92 protons) but it contains 146 neutrons; it has the most mass of all the naturally occurring elements. Neutrons, like protons, reside in the nucleus of an atom. They have a mass of 1 and no charge. The positive (protons) and negative (electrons) charges balance each other in a neutral atom, which has a net zero charge.

Looking at the periodic table again ( Figure 2.3), you will notice that there are seven rows. These rows correspond to the number of shells that the elements within that row have. The elements within a particular row have increasing numbers of electrons as the columns proceed from left to right. Although each element has the same number of shells, not all of the shells are completely filled with electrons. If you look at the second row of the periodic table, you will find lithium (Li), beryllium (Be), boron (B), carbon (C), nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), fluorine (F), and neon (Ne). These all have electrons that occupy only the first and second shells. Lithium has only one electron in its outermost shell, beryllium has two electrons, boron has three, and so on, until the entire shell is filled with eight electrons, as is the case with neon. Protons are also vital in the core of the sun, where the energy that manifests as the light and heat of the sun is generated via a mechanism known as the proton-proton chain. In the core of the sun, the temperature reaches 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius) — sufficient for nuclear fusion. In these high temperatures, all atoms are ionized, and since the sun is mainly hydrogen, then this means that the core of the sun is filled with protons. Each element is designated by its chemical symbol (such as H, N, O, C, and Na), and possesses unique properties. These unique properties allow elements to combine and to bond with each other in specific ways. Atoms Nicolaou, C.A.; Kannas, C.; Loizidou, E.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] [ PubMed]The atoms of the elements found in the human body have from one to five electron shells, and all electron shells hold eight electrons except the first shell, which can only hold two. This configuration of electron shells is the same for all atoms. The precise number of shells depends on the number of electrons in the atom. Hydrogen and helium have just one and two electrons, respectively. If you take a look at the periodic table of the elements, you will notice that hydrogen and helium are placed alone on either sides of the top row; they are the only elements that have just one electron shell ( Figure 2.7). A second shell is necessary to hold the electrons in all elements larger than hydrogen and helium. Ichihara, O.; Barker, J.; Law, R.J.; Whittaker, M. Compound Design by Fragment-Linking. Mol.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef][ Green Version] Several other scientists furthered the atomic model, including Niels Bohr (built upon Rutherford's model to include properties of electrons based on the hydrogen spectrum), Erwin Schrödinger (developed the quantum model of the atom), Werner Heisenberg (stated that one cannot know both the position and velocity of an electron simultaneously), and Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig (independently developed the theory that protons and neutrons were composed of quarks). Additional resources Shear coupling predictions are a little disappointing, but show some important limitations of the approach and suggest possible physical insights. Since little correlation was found between local environment descriptions and shear coupling, it may imply that the physical phenomenon must be multi-scale. Both the ASR and LER use knowledge of the local environments around atoms, but do not consider longer-range interactions between LAEs. Thus, only physical information within the cutoff (5 Å in this case) is considered. A future avenue of research could investigate whether connectivity of LAEs at multiple length scales or the full GB network are responsible for shear coupling.
