Use of computationally derived protein structures of genetic polymorphisms in pharmacogenomics for drug design and clinical applications

Номер: US20120010866A1
Принадлежит: Individual

Provided herein are computer-based methods for generating and using three-dimensional (3-D) structural models of target biomolecules. In particular, the target biomolecules are protein structural variants derived from genes containing genetic variations, or polymorphisms. The models are generated using molecular modeling techniques, such as homology modeling. The models can be used in structure-based drug design studies to identify drugs that bind to particular structural variants in structure-based drug design studies, for designing allele-specific drugs, population-specific drugs and for predicting clinical responses in patients. Molecular structure databases containing protein structural variant models also are provided.

Method for determining cop generation factors for single-crystal silicon wafer

Номер: US20120029834A1
Автор: Shuichi Inami
Принадлежит: Sumco Corp

A whole determination area of a targeted wafer is concentrically divided in a radial direction, COP density is obtained in each divided determination segment, a maximum value of the COP density is set as COP density RADIUSMAX , a minimum value of the COP density is set as COP density RADIUSMIN , a value computed by “(COP density RADIUSMAX −COP density RADIUSMIN )/COP density RADIUSMAX ” is compared to a predetermined set value, and a non-crystal-induced COP and a crystal-induced COP are distinguished from each other based on a clear criterion, thereby determining the COP generation factor. Therefore, a rejected wafer in which a determination of the crystal-induced COP is made despite being the non-crystal-induced COP can be relieved, so that a wafer production yield can be enhanced.

The abnormal output detection system improves the accuracy and precision of the biosensor in determining whether an output signal has a shape or configuration that may not provide an accurate and/or precise analysis of a biological fluid. The biosensor generates an output signal in response to the redox reaction of the analyte. The biosensor normalizes the output signal and compares the normalized output signal with one or more control limits. The biosensor may generate an error signal when the normalized output signal is not within the control limits.

Dye-stabilized nanoparticles and methods of their manufacture and therapeutic use

Номер: US20180021259A1
Принадлежит: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Described herein are nanoparticles which are largely made of (e.g., 90 wt. %) hydrophobic drugs and are stabilized by water soluble dyes. The nanoparticles can range in size from 30 nm to 150 nm and have highly negative surface charge (e.g., −55 mV). These nanoparticles are highly soluble in water, stable for days in PBS buffer and can be easily lyophilzed and reconstituted in water. Using quantitative self-assembly prediction calculations, topochemical molecular descriptors were identified and validated as highly predictive indicators of nano-assembly, nanoparticle size, and drug loading. The resulting nanoparticles selectively targeted kinase inhibitors to caveolin-1-expressing human colon cancer and autochthonous liver cancer models to yield striking therapeutic effects while avoiding pERK inhibition in healthy skin. The nanoparticles exhibited remarkable anti-tumor efficacy in vitro and in vivo in models of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Method for Aligning Molecules in Three Dimensions Based Upon Their Correspondence To An Exemplary Template Molecule for Use In Performing 3D QSAR Analyses

Номер: US20150025871A1
Автор: Richard D. Cramer
Принадлежит: Richard D. Cramer

A computerized procedure for aligning molecules for use in CoMFA or other 3D QSAR methodologies does not rely on fragmentation of the molecules instead, aligning molecules based upon comparison to identified template molecules. Initially an anchor bond is identified in the candidate and template molecule that have similar atoms at each end of the bonds. Unlike prior art methods, the anchor bond need not be an acyclic bond. The candidate molecule is overlaid onto the template molecule by aligning the anchor bonds. Starting and working away from the anchor bond, matching atoms or atom types between the candidate and template molecule are identified. Multiple layers of atomic connections are evaluated for matches. The atoms may or may not be contained within ring structures. Once all matching atoms have been identified, the 3D coordinates of the template atoms are assigned to the corresponding atoms in the candidate molecule to place the candidate molecule into alignment. Automation of the method sequentially uses every bond in the template and candidate molecule structures as an anchor bond to identify the best alignment. The total number of combinatorial possibilities for the automated process may be reduced by use of several criteria. Subsequently, following the usual CoMFA analytical procedure, the aligned molecules can be placed into a three dimensional grid, their shapes characterized by electrostatic and steric interaction energies, and the resulting shape characterizations along with their structure activity relationship data used to populate the CoMFA data table. Resulting CoMFA analyses yield superior 3D QSARs.
