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 closed) 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.

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.
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 mul ti-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.
We present the results of an experiment with light microscopy performed to capture the trajectories of live Nitzschia sp. diatoms. The time series corresponding to the motility of this kind of cells along ninety-five circular-like trajectories have b een obtained and analyzed with the scaling statistical method of detrended fluctuation analysis optimized via a wavelet transform. In this way, we determined the Hurst parameters, in two orthogonal directions, which characterize the nature of the motion of live diatoms in light microscopy experiments. We have found mean values of these directional Hurst parameters between 0.70 and 0.63 with overall standard errors below 0.15. These numerical values give evidence that the motion of Nitzschia sp. diatoms is of persistent type and suggest an active cell motility with a kind of memory associated with long-range correlations on the path of their trajectories. For the collected statistics, we also find that the values of the Hurst exponents depend on the number of abrupt turns that occur in the diatom trajectory and on the type of wavelet, although their mean values do not change much
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.
Across diverse biological systems -- ranging from neural networks to intracellular signaling and genetic regulatory networks -- the information about changes in the environment is frequently encoded in the full temporal dynamics of the network nodes. A pressing data-analysis challenge has thus been to efficiently estimate the amount of information that these dynamics convey from experimental data. Here we develop and evaluate decoding-based estimation methods to lower bound the mutual information about a finite set of inputs, encoded in single-cell high-dimensional time series data. For biological reaction networks governed by the chemical Master equation, we derive model-based information approximations and analytical upper bounds, against which we benchmark our proposed model-free decoding estimators. In contrast to the frequently-used k-nearest-neighbor estimator, decoding-based estimators robustly extract a large fraction of the available information from high-dimensional trajectories with a realistic number of data samples. We apply these estimators to previously published data on Erk and Ca signaling in mammalian cells and to yeast stress-response, and find that substantial amount of information about environmental state can be encoded by non-trivial response statistics even in stationary signals. We argue that these single-cell, decoding-based information estimates, rather than the commonly-used tests for significant differences between selected population response statistics, provide a proper and unbiased measure for the performance of biological signaling networks.
