  • Publication number: 20240167051
    Abstract: The invention provides a transgenic corn event MON 95379, plants, plant cells, seeds, plant parts, progeny plants, and commodity products comprising event MON 95379. The invention also provides polynucleotides specific for event MON 95379 and methods for using and detecting event MON 95379 as well as plants, plant cells, seeds, plant pails, progeny plants, and commodity products comprising event MON 95379.

  • Patent number: 10253084
    Abstract: A method for practical prediction of the three-dimensional structure of ?-helical membrane proteins (HMPs) is described. The method allows one to predict the binding site and structure for strongly bound ligands. The method combines a protocol of computational methods enabling a complete ensemble of packings to be sampled and systematically reducing this ensemble to progressively more accurate structures until at the end there remain a few that might be functionally relevant and likely to play a role in all binding and activation processes. This method is well suited to automatic operation making it practical to obtain, for example, the ensemble of important structures for all human GPCRs. With this ensemble of all active GPCR structures in the human body, an infimum method is presented to maximize efficacy toward the selected target while minimizing binding to all other GPCRs to eliminate toxicity arising from cross-reacting with other GPCRs (a most common source of drug failure).

  • Publication number: 20180225411
    Abstract: A method for modification and/or evaluation of ligand-protein and protein-protein systems is provided. Specifically, the method involves generating a final set of ligand or protein poses based on an initial set of ligand or protein poses. The method considers a variety of tools that can be applied to each pose. Energy scoring of each pose is performed based on results obtained from application of one or more of these tools. The design of the method allows for flexibility in which tools are used, the order in which they are used, and input parameters used for the different tools. This flexibility allows a user of the method to select a level of precision desired for a particular ligand-protein and protein-protein system that is being modified and/or evaluated.

  • Publication number: 20110144966
    Abstract: A method for prediction of binding poses of a binding molecule to a target molecule is provided. The method involves a step of providing, clustering, and evaluating binding poses of the binding molecule. The providing and clustering of the poses is performed by a single or multiple iteration procedure. The evaluation of the poses is determined from interaction energies between particular poses and the target molecule.
