Description

Calculation method of molecular weight of biomacromolecule materials based on AI algorithm Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for measuring the molecular weight of biomacromolecule materials, and in particular to a method for calculating materials whose molecular weight is difficult to determine based on a rheological model, and solving the molecular weight of the biomaterial using AI nonlinear fitting. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of biomolecular science, biomacromolecules have garnered increasing attention. Materials such as silk protein, hyaluronic acid, collagen, recombinant collagen, and sericin have been used as important medical and cosmetic ingredients. The biological properties of many biomacromolecules are closely related to their relative molecular weight. Materials with different relative molecular weights exhibit varying physiological activities, some even exhibiting completely opposite effects. For example, hyaluronic acid with a molecular weight greater than 2000 kDa exhibits excellent moisturizing, viscoelasticity, lubrication, and anti-inflammatory properties, making it suitable for ophthalmic surgery and bone and joint injections. Hyaluronic acid with a molecular weight of 10 kDa to 80 kDa can be taken orally and absorbed in the intestine, exerting cosmetic and skin-beautifying effects. Similarly, the swelling and transmittance of silk protein hydrogels decrease with increasing molecular weight. Therefore, accurately determining the molecular weight of polymer materials allows for more effective utilization of their properties.

[0003] Traditional methods for determining protein molecular weight include gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), light scattering (SLS), small-angle neutron diffraction (SANS), and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). However, these methods often have limitations, including the inability to accurately measure the molecular weight of certain polymers that exhibit aggregation in solution. For example, the unique structure of silk protein molecules (a quasi-multiblock copolymer structure with alternating hydrophilic and hydrophobic segments) causes regenerated silk protein to easily aggregate into micelles and other aggregates in solution, rather than existing as "free" single molecular chains. Therefore, it is necessary to first find a good solvent in which silk protein can exist as "free" single molecular chains. Furthermore, a suitable test method is needed to quantitatively describe the chain state and viscoelastic behavior of polymer chains in solution.

[0004] Furthermore, finding a suitable model for polymer solutions is crucial. To investigate the structural and dynamic characteristics of polymer solutions, researchers have developed several coarse-grained geometric models, such as the bead-stick model, the bead-spring model, the pearl-necklace model, and the reptation model. Further exploration is needed to determine which model is most suitable for calculating the molecular weight of silk protein.

[0005] Molecular weight calculations based on the aforementioned models are complex, requiring extensive data testing and computational effort. Manual calculations are inefficient and lack precision. Introducing AI algorithms into traditional polymer molecular weight calculations can address timeliness and accuracy challenges, significantly improving the efficiency of researchers and researchers and furthering innovation in biopolymer computation.

[0006] Summary of the Invention

[0007] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to address the difficulties in measuring the molecular weight of existing biopolymer materials and invent a method for calculating the molecular weight of biopolymer materials based on an AI algorithm.

[0008] This paper proposes a rheology-based method for measuring the molecular weight of biomacromolecules. Using ionic liquids as the dissolution system and the Rouse model as the polymer solution model, the method measures large amounts of data and trains the model using an AI algorithm to obtain key parameter values, thereby calculating the molecular weight of the measured material.

[0009] First, the present invention screens out ionic liquids as good solvents for dissolving biomacromolecules by testing different solvent systems.

[0010] Ionic liquids refer to ionic compounds in liquid form, or with a melting point below a certain temperature. In recent years, ionic liquids have attracted significant attention worldwide as a new type of green solvent. They possess numerous excellent properties, including excellent thermal stability, structural designability, low vapor pressure, non-toxicity, and recyclability, benefiting both environmental protection and operator health. Ionic liquids are not only widely used as solvents and reaction media in organic synthesis reactions, but are also considered green solvents for some natural macromolecules. Ionic liquids also exhibit excellent properties in dissolving biopolymers, enabling the unique structure of silk protein molecules to exist as single chains in them.

[0011] Secondly, the present invention screened out the Rouse model from a variety of polymer solution models through simulation calculations. This model is more suitable for calculating the molecular weight of biopolymers. The relationship between polymer viscoelasticity data and molecular weight function in the Rouse model is as follows:

[0012]

[0013]

[0014]

[0015] Then, rheological methods are used to test the rheological data of biomacromolecules dissolved in ionic liquids. Rheological methods can well reflect the chain state and viscoelastic behavior of polymer chains in solution. Rheology can be used to measure rheological data such as viscoelasticity of polymers in ionic liquids.

[0016] Finally, the present invention introduces AI algorithms to solve the problem of calculating large amounts of rheological data, which improves timeliness and accuracy, increases the work efficiency of R&D personnel, and further opens up innovations in the field of biopolymer computing.

The difference ε between the predicted values ​​of log G′ and log G″ from the Rouse model and the experimental values ​​measured in step S2 can be obtained by solving the root mean square formula.

[0055] f) The difference ε between the calculated log G′ and log G″ data describes the degree of agreement between the Rouse model and the experimental results. The fitting process requires that the predicted results of the Rouse model are close to the experimental measurement results. Therefore, the difference ε must be as small as possible.
