Alexander Sewall Ford has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11929152
    Abstract: Techniques for predicting a pair of an enzyme primary sequence and a substrate, and interaction probability for the pair are described. An exemplary method includes receiving a request to predict a pair of an enzyme primary sequence and a substrate, and interaction probability for the pair; combining an enzyme vector, a substrate vector, and an interaction indication for the enzyme and substrate to form a machine learning model input; applying a machine learning model to the machine learning model input to predict the pair of an enzyme primary sequence and a substrate, and interaction probability for the pair; and outputting a result of the application of the machine learning model including the predicted pair of an enzyme primary sequence and a substrate, and interaction probability for the pair.

  • Patent number: 11923044
    Abstract: Techniques for predicting a protein sequence are described. An exemplary method includes receiving a request to predict a missing area of a protein's primary sequence and a corresponding three-dimensional position of the missing area; applying a machine learning model to backbone Cartesian coordinates of the protein's primary sequence and a protein vector of a representation of the protein's primary sequence including the missing area to predict a missing area of the protein primary sequence and a corresponding three-dimensional position for the missing area, wherein the machine learning model is selected from the group consisting of: an attention-based machine learning model, a bidirectional long short term memory-based model, and a convolutional neural network-based model; and outputting a result of the machine learning model.
