化学计量学方法辅助多组分分析

近年来，随着生物学、生命科学、药物学、环境科学等学科的迅猛发展，使得人们对于分析化学的要求也越来越高。由于这些学科一般都涉及对复杂多组分体系的定性、定量及结构分析，传统的单组分分析手段已经无法满足需要，这就迫切需要新的分析理论和技术来解决日益复杂的分析问题。而化学计量学的出现和迅速发展，为广大化学工作者提供了强有力的理论工具和分析手段，使得他们能够根据具体问题的不同而采用适当的分析技术来解决传统方法无法解决的难题。论文工作围绕因子分析类方法和小波分析方法在多组分分析中的应用进行了较系统的研究，主要内容归纳如下：1）应用渐进因子分析法和固定尺寸移动窗口渐进因子分析法对模拟的重叠HPLC-DAD数据进行解析，并对两种方法的解析结果进行比较。2）应用子窗口因子分析法解析模拟的重叠HPLC-DAD数据。3）应用小波分析方法进行数据压缩、平滑和滤噪、背景扣除和基线校正、重叠信号的解析，得到了满意的结果。4）将二维小波变换与子窗口因子分析方法相结合，用于高噪声的模拟HPLC-DAD数据的解析。5）将启发渐进式特征投影法和局部正交投影法分别应用于丹参和川芍提取物的HPLC-DAD重叠峰解析，所得结果可以作为进一步定性定量分析的依据。

化学计量学方法在分子光谱分析中的研究与应用

分子光谱手段是化学分析家们常用的一种获得化合物信息的方法，如红外光谱、拉曼光谱、紫外光谱等等。这些方法在化学常规分析中有着非常广泛的应用。化学计量学（Chemometrics）是应用数学、统计学与计算机的工具与手段设计或者选择最优化学测量方法，并通过解析化学测量数据，最大限度的获取化学及其他相关信息。20世纪70年代以来，随着计算机技术的迅速普及，数学和计算机科学在分析化学中的应用日益广泛。在分子光谱分析中，化学计量学方法被用来给一些复杂体系的样品作定量和定性分析。对于一些成分简单的样品，我们可以直接根据该样品的红外、紫外等光谱来得到分析结果，但是对于复杂的样品，尤其是天然产物，根本无法解释它的红外谱图。因此，如果不采用化学计量学方法，根本无法做出准确的定性定量分析。本文更多的是以近红外（Nearhifrared，NIR）光谱方法为主，结合化学计量学方法，包括模式识别、偏最小二乘（PLS）等，对各种复杂体系，如中药，农产品等，进行定量定性分析。对中药的分析结果表明，分子光谱分析技术完全可以实现对中药样品的鉴别分析，尤其是近红外光谱分析技术，分析更为简单、快速，完全可以取代传统方法。用近红外光谱分析技术对大豆、酒醅各项指标进行分析，结果表明近红外分析技术也可用于在实际工作对大豆、酒醅的分析。研究结果表明，分子光谱方法简单快速。同时借助于各种化学计量学方法，能快速得到准确的分析数据，完全可以替代标准方法。只要在实验初期收集足够的具有代表性的样品，然后采用标准方法得到各种化学分析数据，应用计量学建立模型。在对未知样品进行分析时，只需利用采集的谱图数据和建立的模型，就能实现对样品化学分析数据的准确预测，包括定性和定量分析。相比于常规方法，分子光谱分析方法更加简单、快速，能大大提高分析效率。

Application of uniform design and genetic algorithm in optimization of reversed-phase chromatographic separation

An optimization method based on uniform design in conjunction with genetic algorithm is described. According to the proposed method, the uniform design technique was applied to the design of starting experiments, which can reduce the number of experiments compared with traditional simultaneous methods, such as simplex. And genetic algorithm was used in optimization procedure, which can improve the rapidity of optimal procedure. The hierarchical chromatographic response function was modified to evaluate the separation equality of a chromatogram. An iterative procedure was adopted to search for the optimal condition to improve the accuracy of predicted retention and the quality of the chromatogram. The optimization procedure was tested in optimization of the chromatographic separation of 11 alkaloids in reversed-phase ion pair chromatography and satisfactory optimal result was obtained.

A novel invariant and sequence comparison for DNA

We consider numerical characterization of DNA primary sequence based on the positions of bases (a, t, c, g) and the pairs of bases X, Y in DNA (X, Y=a, t, c, g). This leads to a representation of DNA by a numerical sequence. Then, we extract a novel invariant (molecular connectivity index) from the derived numerical sequences. The suitable invariant can offer a characterization of DNA primary sequence. Finally, we provide an illustration of its utility by making a comparison between ten DNA sequences belonging to beta-globin gene in different species. The evolutionary relationships of ten species we have revealed in this contribution accord with phylogenetic tree properly.

Extended topological indices and prediction of activities of chiral compounds

The activities/properties of two molecules with identical formula but different configuration states of the asymmetric atoms are different. Thus, usually the common topological indices are not suitable. In this study, the chiral topological indices were obtained by extending A(mi) indices suggested by our laboratory and molecular connectivity indices. The modified topologial indices have been used for the studies on D2 for dopamine receptor and a receptor activities of fourteen N-alkylated 3-(3-hydroxypyenyl)-piperidines. It has been observed that selected variables possess low correlations. The results obtained by using multiple regression analysis and artificial neural networks are satisfactory.

A QSAR study of the antiallergic activities of substituted benzamides and their structures

Multiple regression analysis (MRA) and comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) have been used in studies of the correlation between the antiallergic activities of substituted benzamides and their structures. The results achieved using Coh IFA based on 3D factors are much better than those obtained using MRA based on mainly 2D structural information. The CoMFA results reveal that the steric effects are more important than the electrostatic effects for the activities of substituted benzamides. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Classification of valence changes of trivalent rare earth ions in alkaline earth borates using artificial neural networks

The investigations of classification on the valence changes from RE3+ to RE2+ (RE = Eu, Sm, Yb, Tm) in host compounds of alkaline earth berate were performed using artificial neural networks (ANNs). For comparison, the common methods of pattern recognition, such as SIMCA, KNN, Fisher discriminant analysis and stepwise discriminant analysis were adopted. A learning set consisting of 24 host compounds and a test set consisting of 12 host compounds were characterized by eight crystal structure parameters. These parameters were reduced from 8 to 4 by leaps and bounds algorithm. The recognition rates from 87.5 to 95.8% and prediction capabilities from 75.0 to 91.7% were obtained. The results provided by ANN method were better than that achieved by the other four methods. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Computer perception of topological symmetry by all-paths algorithm

During the development of our ESESOC system (Expert System for the Elucidation of the Structures of Organic Compounds), computer perception of topological symmetry is essential in searching for the canonical description of a molecular structure, removing the irredundant connections in the structure generation process, and specifying the number of peaks in C-13- and H-1-NMR spectra in the structure evaluation process. In the present paper, a new path identifier is introduced and an algorithm for detection of topological symmetry from a connection table is developed by the all-paths method.

APPLICATION OF FACTOR-ANALYSIS TO CORRECTION OF SPECTRAL OVERLAP INTERFERENCE IN INDUCTIVELY COUPLED PLASMA ATOMIC EMISSION-SPECTROMETRY

Correction of spectral overlap interference in inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry by factor analysis is attempted. For the spectral overlap of two known lines, a data matrix can be composed from one or two pure spectra and a spectrum of the mixture. The data matrix is decomposed into a spectra matrix and a concentration matrix by target transformation factor analysis. The component concentration of interest in a binary mixture is obtained from the concentration matrix and interference from the other component is eliminated. This method is applied to correcting spectral interference of yttrium on the determination of copper and aluminium: satisfactory results are obtained. This method may also be applied to correcting spectral overlap interference for more than two lines. Like other methods of correcting spectral interferences, factor analysis can only be used for additive spectral overlap. Results obtained from measurements on copper/yttrium mixtures with different white noise added show that random errors in measurement data do not significantly affect the results of the correction method.

SEARCH FOR THE BASIC REGULARITIES OF THE TRANSITION EMISSION OF EUROPIUM(II) ION IN COMPLEX FLUORIDES USING PATTERN-RECOGNITION

The relationship between structures of complex fluorides and spectral structure of Eu(II) ion in complex fluorides (AB(m)F(n)) is investigated by means of pattern recognition methods, such as KNN, ALKNN, BAYES, LLM, SIMCA and PCA. A learning set consisting of 32 f-f transition emission host compounds and 31 d-f transition emission host compounds and a test set consisting of 27 host compounds were characterized by 12 crystal structural parameters. These parameters, i.e. features, were reduced from 12 to 6 by multiple criteria for the classification of these host compounds as f-f transition emission or d-f transition emission. A recognition rate from 79.4 to 96.8% and prediction capabilities from 85.2 to 92.6% were obtained. According to the above results, the spectral structures of Eu(II) ion in seven unknown host lattices were predicted.
