Complexation aspects of the family of water-soluble macrocyclic cyclophanes are also described. The index is used to determine the stereochemistry of the host, which we will discuss shortly. The concave binding site and the water-solubilizing groups are always on opposite sides of the ethenoanthracene.
One of the most important such guests to be studied was 1-adamantyltrimethylammonium iodide (ATMA). As in the second mode, the charged end of the guest is the deepest inside the host cavity. If it is part of the host species, the position is similarly given by Equation 8.
Bias is the difference between the estimator's expectation or mean and the true value of the parameter.

The identities of the fundamental random variables of an experiment depend on the design of the experiment itself. The calibration I of the delivery devices (pipettes or syringes) used to add the amounts, and. Substituting equations 12 and 6 into equation 18 puts this in terms of the fundamental random variables Oobspi.
Calibrating the delivery device by adding the latest quantity is I; its "measured" value is unity. Vt, [Ht]o, and [Gt]o are the V, [H]o, and [G]o of the sample previously in the tube; therefore, these values are all zero for the first solution in a pipe.

Conclusions
This error is drawn from a normal distribution with a mean of zero and a variance determined by the distribution of calibration errors for that type of device. The Monte Carlo value of I, the device calibration, is obtained by adding 1 to this error. In the unlikely case1 that e1 is so large and negative that I is less than zero, another calibration error is drawn.
The variances are determined by the specified uncertainties in the concentration measurements and are expressed as a fraction of the total concentration. Each plotted error is added to 1 and the sum is multiplied by the measured concentration ([H]s or [G]s) to give the Monte Carlo stock solution concentrations. The volume of each aliquot is determined by multiplying the appropriate delivery device Monte Carlo calibration value I by the measured aliquot volume Va and then adding a reproducibility error to this value.
The Monte Carlo sample volume is obtained by adding this aliquot volume to the volume Vt of sample previously in the tube. The Monte Carlo host and guest concentrations are determined from these volumes and from the concentrations of the combined solutions. This error originates from a normal distribution with a mean of zero and a variance determined by the peak width of the observed signal and the separation between data points.
The Monte Carlo value of 8rree is obtained by adding this error to the measured value. An error is plotted for the observed chemical shift of each proton recorded in a sample. Each Monte Carlo "error-free" observation Sobspi is generated by applying Equation 14 to the assumed parameter values and the Monte Carlo values of [H]o, [G]o, and 8rree· To this result is added the random observation error.

Conclusions
Typically, host and guest stock solutions are combined in an NMR sample tube, and the NMR spectrum of the resulting sample is recorded. H]o and [G]o depend on the concentrations of the stock solution and on the volumes of all aliquots used in sample preparation. The easiest way to do this is to approximate the scaled binomial variables as normal variables with the same mean and variance: B(R,p)/R ~ N(p,p(l-p)/R).
These limits p L and pH can be found using the standard normal distribution function . It does this by adjusting a set of parameters to match NMR observations of solutions containing different concentrations of the complex species. It is convenient to consider the NMR behavior in terms of the quantity Dp, the change in the resonance of proton p upon binding (Dp = brreep- bboundp)· The descriptive equation is then.
It is computationally much easier to minimize the SSR when all weights are equal, so an unweighted procedure is performed first to obtain an initial guess for minimizing the weighted SSR. How the magnitudes of squared residuals (6calcpi-6obsps)2 are estimated from different experimental errors in a binding study. The formula for NMR behavior is an intrinsically non-linear function of the K parameter; consequently, the parameters that minimize the SSR cannot be found directly from the data alone.
In order to perform this minimization, Ernul needs to know the design of the experiment and the resulting NMR observations. An optional data summary file reports details of the experiment's inner workings and error propagation calculations. It contains all the information from the input file, the values of the final fitted parameters and a number of intermediate calculations to set up the minimization procedures.

It generates a multitude of simulated data sets by performing Monte Carlo replications of the binding study. If a significant fraction of these Monte Carlo counts are greater than the experimental count, the data do not provide reason for rejecting the model. However, if the experimental score is greater than the preponderance of the Monte Carlo scores, then the model and the observed data are incompatible.
Lucius also determines the distributions of the parameter estimates that best fit the Monte Carlo data sets. One is a text file that reports the statistic Q, and summarizes the sampling distributions of SSR and of the parameter estimates. Plotting this index against the parameter values reveals the empirical cumulative distribution function of the parameter estimates.
The distribution file also contains an estimate of the probability density function of each of the parameter estimates. The current process uses the current explanatory values to provide the current values of the response variables. These are the SSR scores and sets of fitted parameters that would arise in a series of replications of the binding study if the hypothesized model were true.
I am unable to identify a meaningful interpretation of the distribution of SSR values and the Q statistic from Portia. These are the sets of parameters most consistent with the observed data and understanding of measurement errors. The values of the C* function at the unsampled parameter values are estimated by interpolating between the sample points.

This file contains information, some of it unclear, about the operation of all programs in the package. It is strictly for the user's edification; this number does not influence the implementation of the program in any way. This is determined based on the interpolated reliability function: the x value of the interpolated function where y equals the desired reliability value is this best estimate.
200 This quantity, morenmr, is the number of points of the interpolated trust function that Brutus includes in his trust function files. These are the standard uncertainties in determining the host and guest concentrations of the stock solutions. A blank line indicates that information has been entered for all delivery devices.
If an uncertainty is not reported, it is taken from the first entry on the second line of the error bar file. If no uncertainty is reported, the value of the second entry on the second line of the error bar file will be used. The first entry in each line is the name of the sample and the second is the observed chemical shift.
If no uncertainty is reported, the default NMR measurement error from the first line of the error bars file will be used. The text output file name is automatically applied to the parameter distribution and distribution file names. This is because the desired limit may not be an even divisor of the number of iterations.
Portia
Simulator Input File: This file is generated by Ernul, so the user does not need to learn its format. Each line contains a number between 0 and 100 (0 is acceptable; 100 is not) that specifies the percentile range of the SSR and the distribution of the parameters to be reported in the text output file.

When choosing the concentrations to include in the binding study, an initial estimate of the binding constant should be used. Modeling the variable temperature data with a constant t:.c; value is convincingly superior to the naive Van't Hoff approach. Discrimination of the individual contributions of these effects to the total energy of the binding event can be achieved by analyzing changes in the binding energy.
Instead, it is merely a convenient way, expressed in the universal currency of energy, to identify the spontaneous direction and magnitude of any process occurring under constant pressure.1 The usual explanation of the second law of thermodynamics is that. Since the only possible source of the heat absorbed by the environment is the system, dHsurr = -dHsys. G0 in this equation is the standard free energy of the reaction, and I< is the equilibrium constant.
After each addition, however, a spectrum of the sample was taken at each of the five temperatures. Van't Hoff curves of the resulting data again showed a curvature that was again concave down. Before proceeding, it is worth describing the use and implications of the constant D assumption.
The reason for this is the good fit result of a binding study, SSR, as a function of K and D. Van't Hoff·plots curve showed that the naive assumption of temperature invariance of ::J.J-1° and i ::J.S0 was unstable. This model elimination of the residuals is strong qualitative evidence that the additional parameter in the log equation constitutes a real effect.
