  • Patent number: 10864270
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for fabricating and implementing nanoscale and microscale structured carriers to provide guided, targeted, and on-demand delivery of molecules and biochemical substances for a variety of applications including diagnosis and/or treatment (theranostics) of diseases in humans and animals. In some aspects, a nanostructure carrier can be synthesized in the form of a nanobowl, which may include an actuatable capping particle that can be opened (and in some implementations, closed) on demand. In some aspects, a nanostructure carrier can be synthesized in the form of a hollow porous nanoparticle with a functionalized interior and/or exterior to attach payload substances and substances for magnetically guided delivery and controlled release of substance payloads.

  • Publication number: 20190265319
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that leverage the advantages of Non-Uniform Sampling (NUS) 2D NMR techniques and Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN) to create the “SMART” tool that can assist in high-throughput natural product discovery. The methodological development of SMART is accomplished in two steps: (1) the NUS heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) NMR program was adapted to a state-of-the-art nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) instrument equipped with a cryoprobe, and the data reconstruction methods were optimized, (2) a DCNN with modified contrastive loss was trained on a database containing over 2000 HSQC spectra as the initial training set. To demonstrate the utility of SMART, several newly isolated compounds were automatically located with their known analogues in the test embedding map (TEM), thereby streamlining the discovery pipeline for new biologically active natural products.

  • Publication number: 20190010544
    Abstract: Techniques, structures, devices and systems are disclosed for implementing molecular zipper tweezers and springs. In one aspect, a molecular device includes three molecular components including at least a passive side molecular component, a binding side molecular component and a target molecular component adapted to interact together as a zipper that separate two of the molecular components held together by molecular interaction forces.
