This paper reports on our new F2 Dock protocol which improves the state of the art in initial stage rigid body exhaustive docking search, scoring and ranking by introducing improvements in the shape-complementarity and electrostatics affinity functions, a new knowledge-based interface propensity term with FFT formulation, a set of novel knowledge-based filters and finally a solvation energy (GBSA) based reranking technique. Our algorithms are based on highly efficient data structures including the dynamic packing grids and octrees which significantly speed up the computations and also provide guaranteed bounds on approximation error. Results -- The improved affinity functions show superior performance compared to their traditional counterparts in finding correct docking poses at higher ranks. We found that the new filters and the GBSA based reranking individually and in combination significantly improve the accuracy of docking predictions with only minor increase in computation time. We compared F2 Dock 2.0 with ZDock 3.0.2 and found improvements over it, specifically among 176 complexes in ZLab Benchmark 4.0, F2 Dock 2.0 finds a near-native solution as the top prediction for 22 complexes; where ZDock 3.0.2 does so for 13 complexes. F2 Dock 2.0 finds a near-native solution within the top 1000 predictions for 106 complexes as opposed to 104 complexes for ZDock 3.0.2. However, there are 17 and 15 complexes where F2 Dock 2.0 finds a solution but ZDock 3.0.2 does not and vice versa; which indicates that the two docking protocols can also complement each other. Availability -- The docking protocol has been implemented as a server with a graphical client (TexMol) which allows the user to manage multiple docking jobs, and visualize the docked poses and interfaces. Both the server and client are available for download. Server: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~bajaj/cvc/soft​ware/f2dock.shtml.

Density space theory : discrete spaces

Allen Freedman defined a density space to be the ordered pair (S,) where S is a certain kind of semigroup called an s-set and is a special type of family of finite subsets of S called a fundamental family on S. Several properties for density spaces are obtained, and the theory of a particular class of density spaces, called discrete density spaces, is developed in detail. The theory of discrete density spaces includes generalizations of some theorems of H. Mann, F. Dyson, and Freedman. Several inequalities for the density of the sum of two subsets of the s-set are obtained. Particular emphasis is placed on obtaining some sufficient conditions for the a + β property of additive number theory

Monitoring the upper southeastern Atlantic transports using altimeter data

A large in-situ data set, collected in the southeastern Atlantic Ocean, is merged with the TOPEX/POSEIDON altimeter observations in order to verify the use of altimeter data in monitoring the transports of the Agulhas/Benguela system. Comparisons between altimeter observations and either moored current meters or inverted echo sounder measurements shows that the sea-surface elevation anomaly is significantly correlated with the thermocline depth and the surface dynamic height, respectively. Knowing the least-squares regression parameters, it is possible to calculate the transports by using geostrophy and either a two-layer or a continuously-stratified model. The transports obtained from fits of dynamic height to altimeter sea-surface height are similar to the ones calculated with the moored instruments. In the southern part of the area under analysis, around 35S, close to the Agulhas retroflection, the transports obtained from the two-layer model are overestimated. Across the Benguela Current, at 30S, transports are still overestimated but of the same order as the measured ones. In this part of the region, the two-layer model can be successfully used to calculate the total and barotropic transports of the Benguela Current. Analysis of the three years of geostrophic transport obtained from the altimeter data indicate that the mean Benguela Current transport does not change interannually more than 20%. However, the primary interannual variability derives from the source water that forms the Benguela Current
