  • Publication number: 20220246233
    Abstract: A system and method for structure-based, small molecule activity prediction using binding mode prediction information. Binding scores between ligands and target molecules, (e.g. proteins, RNA, DNA, lipids, sugars) are first generated using molecular docking. A first machine learned deep neural network (DNN) model is developed using data representing the molecular ligand-target pair 3D structures and docking features to predict binding modes. Using transfer learning, weights of layers learned in the first machine learned model are used as weights in layers of a second machine learned DNN model used to more accurately improve the performance of activity prediction of the second machine learned model. For a target newly paired ligand-target complex, the method further implements a binding mode selector for selecting one or more particular binding poses for input to the activity prediction model for use in activity mode prediction of an activity of the target paired ligand-protein complex.

  • Patent number: 10960260
    Abstract: A fitness accessory for improving positioning and form during a frog pump exercise may include a wedge shaped device. The wedge shaped device may include a base; a top opposite the base; a pair of angled side walls connecting the base and the top; a first smaller end closing a first end of the wedge shaped device; and a second larger end closing a second end of the wedge shaped device. The device may taper from a larger width at the second end to a smaller width at the first end.

  • Publication number: 20200342953
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is described. The method includes generating, by a ligand bond graph generator, a first graph based on bond connectivity within a ligand molecule that is specified as input. The method further includes generating, by a ligand-protein graph generator, a second graph based on a contact map of the ligand molecule and a target molecule that is specified as another input. The method further includes receiving docking prediction metrics for the ligand molecule and the target molecule. The method further includes inputting, to a deep neural network, as input features, the first graph, the second graph, and the docking prediction metrics. The method further includes determining, using the deep neural network, a binding mode prediction that characterizes a set of potential interactions between the ligand molecule and the target molecule.

  • Publication number: 20150379215
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method reschedules medical appointments. The method comprises storing an appointment schedule information associated with a medical provider and receiving an indication that an appointment spot has become available. A patient is selected to fill the available spot based on an analysis of the appointment schedule information and patient data or doctor data. The method then transmits a notification of the available spot to the patient.
