  • Publication number: 20120165206
    Abstract: A method and assay for characterizing populations of cells according to their glycosylation pattern, particularly for distinguishing between cell populations. In preferred embodiments the present invention is able to determine the state of a stem cell (ie differentiated or undifferentiated) and/or the state of a cancer cell, for example with regard to malignancy. Preferably the present invention is also able to determine whether a patient is likely to respond to a drug according to the glycosylation pattern of a sample of cancer cells taken from the patient (or alternatively examined while in the patient, as described in greater detail below). Also optionally, it may be used to analyze a cell population before and after treatment with a drug for example.

  • Patent number: 6343257
    Abstract: A method for constructing a potentially pharmaceutically useful molecule that displays a predefined pharmacophore associated with a desired biological activity is disclosed. The pharmacophore is first used to screen a virtual library of scaffolds, described by three-dimensional coordinates, in order to identify one or more scaffold(s) which could potentially display substituents that alone or together with scaffold atoms comprise a pharmacophore. The screening process involves first placing rotamers from a virtual library of substituents onto each attachment point of each scaffold, and then examining the resultant Virtual Combinatorial Library (VCL) according to one or more parameters required by the pharmacophore.

  • Patent number: 5495423
    Abstract: A method for computing the conformation and location that a protein fragment will obtain in binding to the active site of a receptor is provided. The invention relates to both the computation of conformation and location of natural ligands within an active site and the design of artificial ligands with useful binding characteristics.
