    摘要: Methods and systems are provided for designing an allosteric modulator library begin with identifying a plurality of different allosteric sites on a plurality of different proteins. Biophysical information for each of the allosteric sites is recorded and structural, charge and other chemical properties at each of the allosteric sites are calculated. The biophysical information and calculated properties are analyzed to create a set of functional groups distribution in allosteric modulators. Using this information, existing chemical libraries and fragment libraries are screened for compounds that strongly interact with the set of residues in the allosteric sites. From that, a plurality of new chemical compounds are generated, evaluated and stored in a chemical library that is optimized for allosteric modulator discovery.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a computer-implemented method for engineering fluorinase enzymes towards the synthesis of fluorophenyl compounds. Limited or no mechanistic details of fluorinase enzymes have hindered progress in understanding their catalytic mechanisms for synthesizing synthetic organofluorine compounds. Through a comprehensive computational screening process, specific methionine-sulfonium phenyl substrates, including [(3S)-3-amino-3-carboxypropyl][2,5-difluoro-4-(4-methoxy-2,4-dioxobutyl)phenyl]methylsulfonium, were designed and optimized using quantum chemical optimization techniques. This methodology uncovers crucial information on F— ion attack conformation and the catalytic mechanism of the substrate, leading to the formation of Methyl 3-oxo-4-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)butanoate. Furthermore, a protein sequence and 3D modeling-based enzyme screening process was employed to identify the most suitable enzyme for this substrate. The identified enzyme was then engineered using the mechanistic insights gained from the studies, resulting in improved substrate scope, stability and catalytic efficiency. This computer-based approach offers an efficient and precise alternative to traditional trial-and-error methods, advancing the field towards the successful synthesis fluorophenyl compounds.

    摘要: A system, device, and method for predicting a docked position of a target ligand in a binding site of a biomolecule is disclosed. The prediction makes use of a template ligand-biomolecule complex structure in order to predict a target ligand-biomolecule complex structure. The system and device contain modules allowing for the prediction of a target-ligand biomolecule complex structure. A preparation module can receive information identifying a target ligand and a template ligand-biomolecule structure. A pharmacophore matcher module can identify common pharmacophores between the template ligand and the target ligand. A docking module can predict a docked ligand position of the target ligand by overlapping the pharmacophore models of the target ligand and template ligand while the template ligand is in the binding site of the biomolecule. A biomolecule modification module can modify the biomolecule to reduce clashes between the docked target ligand and the biomolecule.

    摘要: An enhanced noninvasive RF analyte detection device in which an enhancement database, an integration module, a transmission module, a sending enhancement module, and a receiving enhancement module are provided. The integration module determines the mode to detect a desired analyte, such as initiating the transmission module, sending enhancement module, and/or receiving enhancement module in a specific sequence. Once the mode is determined, the transmission module may send all of the transmit signals stored in the enhancement database, the sending enhancement module may transmit the signals related to the desired analyte that are stored in the enhancement module, and/or the receiving enhancement module may implement the receiving antenna settings for the desired analyte which are stored in the enhancement database.
