  • Patent number: 11978534
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for predicting binding on an array such as a peptide array. Certain methods utilize a peptide array having a plurality of peptides with one or more defined parameters and contacting the peptide array with a training sample containing one or more molecules of interest. Interactions between the plurality of peptides and the one or more molecules of interest are processed according to a data fitting model, which model is then is applied to interactions between the plurality of peptides and a test sample to predict binding associated with the one or more molecules of interest.

  • Patent number: 11934929
    Abstract: Methods and systems, including those employing machine learning, utilizing one or more algorithms for relating the structure of a molecule in a library to its function are described. Embodiments described herein relate structure to function by considering the covalent structure of the molecule, the components of that structure that are common to many molecules in the library, and the properties of those components as they relate to the function in question. Applications include, for example, enhancement and amplification of the diagnostic and prognostic signals provided by peptide arrays for use in analyzing the profile of antibodies in the blood produced in response to a disease, condition or treatment.

  • Patent number: 11865508
    Abstract: Described herein are in situ synthesized arrays and methods of making the them, wherein array signal sensitivity and robustness is enhanced by carrying out conditioning steps and/or generating linkers during synthesis. An array comprises a surface with a collection of features, wherein the features comprise molecules or polymers attached to the surface. In certain embodiments of the invention, carrying out conditioning steps during array synthesis can yield arrays with improved signal. In other embodiments, linkers are synthesized on the array surface prior to synthesis of functional molecules, wherein increasing linker length can correspond to an improvement in the signal generated by the array.
