“…We have also implemented maximum entropy (ME) regularization, which is widely used, for example, in the analysis of decay times in autocorrelation functions (Livesey et al, 1986), time-resolved fluorescence (Brochon, 1994;van der Heide et al, 2000;Steinbach et al, 2002), enthalpy distributions (Poland, 2001a), thermodynamic distributions in ligand binding (Steinbach, 1996;Poland, 2001b), distribution of dissociation rate constants (Stanley et al, 1994), diffusion corrected sedimentation coefficient distributions in analytical ultracentrifugation (Schuck, 2000), and other biophysical disciplines. ME was found to result in sharper peaks if a few discrete species are present, but to exhibit some instability for broad distributions (Amato and Hughes, 1991;Provencher, 1992;Schuck et al, 2002).…”
