Single molecule data made of on and off events are ubiquitous. Famous examples include enzyme turnover, probed via fluorescence, and opening and closing of ion-channel, probed via the flux of ions. The data reflects the dynamics in the underlying multi-substate on-off kinetic scheme (KS) of the process, but the determination of the underlying KS is difficult, and sometimes even impossible, due to the loss of information in the mapping of the mutli-dimensional KS onto two dimensions. A way to deal with this problem considers canonical (unique) forms. (Unique canonical form is constructed from an infinitely long trajectory, but many KSs.) Here we introduce canonical forms of reduced dimensions that can handle any KS (i.e. also KSs with symmetry and irreversible transitions). We give the mapping of KSs into reduced dimensions forms, which is based on topology of KSs, and the tools for extracting the reduced dimensions form from finite data. The canonical forms of reduced dimensions constitute a powerful tool in discriminating between KSs.

In many experiments, the aim is to deduce an underlying multi-substate on-off kinetic scheme (KS) from the statistical properties of a two-state trajectory. However, the mapping of a KS into a two-state trajectory leads to the loss of information abo ut the KS, and so, in many cases, more than one KS can be associated with the data. We recently showed that the optimal way to solve this problem is to use canonical forms of reduced dimensions (RD). RD forms are on-off networks with connections only between substates of different states, where the connections can have non-exponential waiting time probability density functions (WT-PDFs). In theory, only a single RD form can be associated with the data. To utilize RD forms in the analysis of the data, a RD form should be associated with the data. Here, we give a toolbox for building a RD form from a finite two-state trajectory. The methods in the toolbox are based on known statistical methods in data analysis, combined with statistical methods and numerical algorithms designed specifically for the current problem. Our toolbox is self-contained - it builds a mechanism based only on the information it extracts from the data, and its implementation on the data is fast (analyzing a 10^6 cycle trajectory from a thirty-parameter mechanism takes a couple of hours on a PC with a 2.66 GHz processor). The toolbox is automated and is freely available for academic research upon electronic request.
The signal from many single molecule experiments monitoring molecular processes, such as enzyme turnover via fluorescence and opening and closing of ion channel via the flux of ions, consists of a time series of stochastic on and off (or open and clo sed) periods, termed a two-state trajectory. This signal reflects the dynamics in the underlying multi-substate on-off kinetic scheme (KS) of the process. The determination of the underlying KS is difficult and sometimes even impossible due to the loss of information in the mapping of the mutli dimensional KS onto two dimensions. Here we introduce a new procedure that efficiently and optimally relates the signal to all equivalent underlying KSs. This procedure partitions the space of KSs into canonical (unique) forms that can handle any KS, and obtains the topology and other details of the canonical form from the data without the need for fitting. Also established are relationships between the data and the topology of the canonical form to the on-off connectivity of a KS. The suggested canonical forms constitute a powerful tool in discriminating between KSs. Based on our approach, the upper bound on the information content in two state trajectories is determined.
We study the stochastic kinetics of a signaling module consisting of a two-state stochastic point process with negative feedback. In the active state, a product is synthesized which increases the active-to-inactive transition rate of the process. We analyze this simple autoregulatory module using a path-integral technique based on the temporal statistics of state flips of the process. We develop a systematic framework to calculate averages, autocorrelations, and response functions by treating the feedback as a weak perturbation. Explicit analytical results are obtained to first order in the feedback strength. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to test the analytical results in the weak feedback limit and to investigate the strong feedback regime. We conclude by relating some of our results to experimental observations in the olfactory and visual sensory systems.

Deducing an underlying multi-substate on-off kinetic scheme (KS) from the statistical properties of a two-state trajectory is the aim from many experiments in biophysics and chemistry, such as, ion channel recordings, enzymatic activity and structura l dynamics of bio-molecules. Doing so is almost always impossible, as the mapping of a KS into a two-state trajectory leads to the loss of information about the KS (almost always). Here, we present the optimal way to solve this problem. It is based on unique forms of reduced dimensions (RD). RD forms are on-off networks with connections only between substates of different states, where the connections can have multi-exponential waiting time probability density functions (WT-PDFs). A RD form has the simplest toplogy that can reproduce a given data. In theory, only a single RD form can be constructed from the full data (hence its uniqueness), still this task is not easy when dealing with finite data. For doing so, a toolbox made of known statistical methods in data analysis and new statistical methods and numerical algorithms develped for this problem is presented. Our toolbox is self-contained: it builds a mechanism based only on the information it extracts from the data. The implementation of the toolbox on the data is fast. The toolbox is automated and is available for academic research upon electronic request.
We develop a theoretical approach to the protein folding problem based on out-of-equilibrium stochastic dynamics. Within this framework, the computational difficulties related to the existence of large time scale gaps in the protein folding problem a re removed and simulating the entire reaction in atomistic details using existing computers becomes feasible. In addition, this formalism provides a natural framework to investigate the relationships between thermodynamical and kinetic aspects of the folding. For example, it is possible to show that, in order to have a large probability to remain unchanged under Langevin diffusion, the native state has to be characterized by a small conformational entropy. We discuss how to determine the most probable folding pathway, to identify configurations representative of the transition state and to compute the most probable transition time. We perform an illustrative application of these ideas, studying the conformational evolution of alanine di-peptide, within an all-atom model based on the empiric GROMOS96 force field.
