Abstract: The present invention relates to derivatives of benzimidazoles of formula (I) as disclosed herein as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising said derivatives. The derivates according to the present invention are serine/threonine and tyrosine kinase-inhibitors, particularly of PIM1-3- and DYRK1A-kinases and may particularly be used in the treatment of diseases linked to these kinases, such as e.g. leukemias, lymphomas, solid tumors and autoimmune disorders.

Abstract: Disclosed in the present application is a compound of formula (I) as defined herein as well as a pharmaceutical composition comprising said compound. Further disclosed in the present application is the use of such pharmaceutical compositions for treating diseases, namely inter alia for use in the treatment of cancer, metabolic, inflammatory, autoimmune and viral diseases. The compounds disclosed herein are inhibitors of MNK1 and/or MNK2 kinases.

Abstract: Disclosed are substituted tricyclic benzimidazoles compounds as defined herein in formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds of the invention selectively inhibit CDK8 and are therefore useful for treating diseases related to this kinase, especially colorectal and melanoma cancers and other solid and hemathological malignancies, autoimmune diseases and inflammatory diseases. Also disclosed are processes for preparing these compounds.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to the use of a complement inhibitor in methods of treatment of ocular disorders and the use of a complement inhibitor in the manufacture of a medicament in the treatment of an ocular disorder.

Abstract: Compositions that bind to C3b epitopes and methods of using the compositions are described herein.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a method for locating functionally relevant atoms in protein structures, and a representation of spatial arrangements of these atoms allowing for flexible description of active sites in proteins. The search method can be based on comparison of local structure features of proteins that share a common biochemical function. Generally, the method does not depend on overall similarity of structures and sequences of compared proteins, or on previous knowledge about functionally relevant residues. The compared protein structures can be condensed to a graph representation, with atoms as nodes and distances as edge labels. Protein graphs can then be compared to extract all possible Common Structural Cliques. These cliques can be merged to create structural templates: graphs that describe structural analogies between compared proteins. Structures of serine endopeptidases were compared in pairs using the presented algorithm with different geometrical parameters.

Abstract: A system and methods for rapidly and accurately assessing ligand binding characteristics for diverse classes of protein molecules. Modeling methods are used to represent the protein molecules and simulate their interaction with ligand molecules. Protein/ligand interactions are characterized by a fingerprint analysis that permits grouping of the proteins based on predicted structural features and ligand reactivity rather than sequence similarities or homology alone.

Abstract: A general neural network based method and system for identifying peptide binding motifs from limited experimental data. In particular, an artificial neural network (ANN) is trained with peptides with known sequence and function (i.e., binding strength) identified from a phage display library. The ANN is then challenged with unknown peptides, and predicts relative binding motifs. Analysis of the unknown peptides validate the predictive capability of the ANN.
