  • Patent number: 11430546
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided that allow a user to draw and edit a chemical structure using one or more gestures performed on an input interface. For example, the user may assign an atom label to a chemical structure representation by performing a press and tap gesture, change a chemical bond characteristic in the chemical structure representation by performing a tap gesture, and/or lengthen a molecular chain in the chemical structure representation by performing a drag gesture. The user may also rotate the chemical structure representation in the graphical display by performing one or more rotation gestures.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9751294
    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and apparatus that allow a user to convert various styles of three dimensional graphic representations of molecular models to computer aided design format to enable printing of a physical model using three dimensional printing equipment such as rapid prototyping equipment, additive manufacturing equipment, and/or three dimensional printers.

  • Patent number: 9535583
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided that allow a user to draw and edit a chemical structure. Aspects of the present disclosure may include receiving an input corresponding to an amendment to a portion of an in-progress chemical structure, and identifying, based at least in part upon the amended in-progress chemical structure, one or more molecular scaffolds from a set of candidate molecular scaffolds. Each molecular scaffold may be configured to, upon one or both of (i) appending to the amended portion of the in-progress chemical structure and (ii) replacing or partially replacing the amended portion of the in-progress chemical structure, provide a resulting chemical structure or chemical structure fragment that has been previously rendered. The one or more molecular scaffolds may be provided for presentation on the graphical display as option(s) for selection by a user in creating the graphical representation of the chemical structure.

  • Publication number: 20140173476
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein allow a user to electronically draw and edit a biological sequence and its resulting structure. Embodiments may include identifying, based at least in part upon an amended in-progress biological sequence, one or more biological sequence scaffold candidates from a set of biological sequence scaffold candidates, where each biological sequence scaffold candidate of the one or more biological sequence scaffold candidates is configured to, upon one or both of (i) appending to the amended portion of the in-progress biological sequence and (ii) replacing or partially replacing the amended portion of the in-progress biological sequence, provide a resulting biological sequence or biological sequence fragment that has been previously rendered. The one or more biological sequence scaffold candidates may be provided for presentation on a graphical display as option(s) for selection by a user in creating the representation of the biological sequence.
