Abstract:Data analysis is one of the remaining bottlenecks in high-throughput EXAFS for structural genomics. Here some recent developments in methodology are described that offer the potential for rapid and automated XAS analysis of metalloproteins.
“…The code is GA-based for such a multi-objective optimization problem. We should point out we are not the first to apply GA to EXAFS analysis [11]. However a comprehensive study (e.g., crossover and mutation options) of GA algorithms and their effects on uncovering the parameters for materials characterization analysis have not been studied.…”
Section: Design and Implementation Of Ga Analysis Codementioning
We introduce a Genetic Algorithm (GA) based, open-source project to solve multi-objective optimization problems of materials characterization data analysis including EXAFS, XPS and nanoindentation. The modular design and multiple crossover and mutation options make the software extensible for additional materials characterization applications too. This automation of the analysis is crucial in the era when instrumentation acquires data orders of magnitude more rapidly than it can be analyzed by hand. Our results demonstrated good fitness scores with minimal human intervention.

“…This method, which takes advantage of a priori estimates of model parameters, thus improving the signi®cance of ®ts, has the potential to provide an automated XAS analysis tool (Rehr et al, 2005). Other methods for automation of BioXAS data treatment (Bunker et al, 2005) as for automatic procedures in data quality control have been discussed. The last item is crucial for BioXAS experiments where signals from several (13 to 100) independent¯uorescence detectors are averaged.…”
An overview of the second special issue of the journal on biological applications of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (BioXAS) is presented. The emphasis is on the study of metalloproteins in the context of structural genomics programmes (metallogenomics).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
