As a result, it is possible to perform gesture determination with high accuracy.

Abstract: A flip-flop circuit is disclosed. The flip-flop circuit includes a single-input inverter, a dual-input inverter, a single-input tri-state inverter, a dual-input tri-state inverter, and two single-event transient (SET) filters. The single-input tri-state inverter receives an input signal D. The dual-input tri-state inverter includes a first input, a second input and an output, wherein the first input receives output signals from the dual-input inverter and the second input receives output signals from the dual-input inverter via the first SET filter. The output of the dual-input tri-state inverter sends output signals to a first input of the dual-input inverter and a second input of the dual-input inverter via the second SET filter. The single-input inverter receives inputs from the dual-input inverter to provide an output signal Q for the flip-flop circuit.

Abstract: Structure information of an estimation target compound and structure information of an arbitrary unit of CYP are acquired. Stable position information on a stable position in which the estimation target compound is stably disposed in a pocket of the CYP based on the acquired structure information. A distance between an atom of the estimation target compound that is stably positioned in the pocket and heme iron of the CYP is calculated based on the acquired stable position information. Whether the estimation target compound is to be a substrate of the CYP is determined based on the calculated distance.

Abstract: Compound fragments in a fragment library are input into an active site to perform initial packing. Using a field of force in which atoms repel each other when they are close energetically and attract each other when they are away, so-called shaking is performed by MD calculation, thereby stabilizing the compound fragments packed into the active site. Further, at obtained stable location of the compound fragments, monoatoms are packed and fragments are bonded together. As a result, a candidate ligand structure is output.

Abstract: A biochemical information processing apparatus includes a storage means storing biochemical information, input means for accepting input of data, reaction scheme detection means for detecting a chemical reaction scheme involving a compound, based on the data, and display means for displaying a reaction scheme diagram of the chemical reaction scheme.
