    Abstract: A method for computing free energy difference between a reference molecule and a target molecule. The target molecule has the common set of atoms PAB and a set of atoms PB. The method includes applying a potential to restrain an interaction of the additional atomic component from the set of atoms PB with the common set of atoms PAB in the initial state. The method includes determining one or more transition states along a transformation path between the initial state and target state. The method includes scaling the restrain potential correspondingly along the transformation path until the potential becomes zero when a corresponding end state is reached, and calculating the free energy difference between the reference molecule and the target molecule using a value obtained along the transformation path from the initial state to the target state.

    Abstract: Functionally altered biological mechanisms arising from disease-associated polymorphisms remain difficult to characterize when those variants are intergenic, or, fall between genes. The present invention uses computational modelling of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) drawn from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) or other databases to identify SNP pairs, including SNP pairs where at least one SNP is outside a protein-coding region of a gene, having convergent biological mechanisms. Additional databases, including genomic databases, biological regulatory databases, and databases related to molecular function, are used to further identify and validate the similarity of the biological mechanisms of the SNP pairs. Prioritized SNP pairs having increased similarity of biological mechanisms are then used to identify disease mechanisms, candidate therapeutic drugs, and candidate therapeutic targets among downstream effectors of intergenic SNPs.

    Abstract: Deep learning-based generative models have improved the exploration of chemical space in small molecule drug discovery. Although thousands of novel small molecules can be generated with such models, synthesizing them still remains a challenging task. In literature, several methods have been proposed to predict the synthetic route of a target molecule by working backwards to find the most suitable starting reactants (retrosynthesis). While retrosynthesis is shown to be successful, for novel molecules it is often difficult to find the synthesis path. System and method of the present disclosure generate molecules along with its synthesis route and also provide an insight into the interactions in the active site of target protein, using graph convolution networks (GCNs) and Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS). A target-specific bioactivity prediction model is used as the scoring function to navigate the MCTS search space efficiently.

    Abstract: Solutions for prophylaxis, immune therapy and vaccine strategies for triple negative breast cancer. The immune pathogenesis of cancer and its tumor micro environment (TME) is defined in terms of SNS concept that contributes to cancer drug resistance and metastasis. In one embodiment a method for identifying candidate drug compounds for treating cancer is provided by training an artificial intelligence engine for simulating Self-Non Self (SNS) modeling of normal subjects. An analysis module of an artificial intelligence engine is generated which directs the simulated SNS modeling to specific cancer to redefine cancer immune pathogenesis. SNS mimicking compounds are identified with the analysis module to target immune pathogenesis of cancer. The analysis module is applied to screen candidate cancer drugs that can be combined strategically with SNS mimicking compound for cancer therapy.
