  • Patent number: 12383218
    Abstract: A method for determining a patient radiation and diagnostic study score associated with past diagnostic radiologic tests. In light of the obvious benefits of diagnostic radiology, the risks inherent in its use are often overlooked. Ionizing radiation, which is a component of much, but not all, diagnostic radiology, carries with it a small risk of inducing cancer every time it is used. The present method for determining a patient radiation and diagnostic study score provides right time, right place, and right format radiology information to assist providers in their medical decision-making. With greater awareness of recent study history, and individually contextualized risk and benefit considerations, providers are more likely to decrease their overall usage of diagnostic radiology and better counsel their patients on future risk.

  • Patent number: 12347524
    Abstract: The invention is a diagnostic which overlays quantum mechanical analysis to x-ray crystallography or Cryo-EM data from one or more molecules, to assess and identify the real world conformation, protonation and solvent effects of one or more moieties in said molecule. This “overlay” occurs by scoring and identifying the protomer/tautomer or conformational states of the moieties using quantum mechanical analysis. The diagnostic results of the present invention accurately identify protein-ligand binding, rendered as an output to a user of a computer in which the x-ray crystallography or Cryo-EM data is analysed with semi-empirical Hamiltonian quantum mechanics.

  • Patent number: 12288599
    Abstract: This application provides a protein structure information prediction method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium, and relates to the field of biological information technologies. The method includes: performing sequence alignment query in a first database according to an amino acid sequence of a protein to obtain multi-sequence aligned data; performing feature extraction on the multi-sequence aligned data to obtain an initial sequence feature; processing the initial sequence feature by using a sequence feature augmentation model to obtain an augmented sequence feature of the protein; and predicting structure information of the protein according to the augmented sequence feature. When the structure information of the protein is predicted based on artificial intelligence (AI), the foregoing solution can improve the prediction efficiency of protein structure information while ensuring the prediction accuracy of the protein structure information.
