Abstract:
In various example embodiments, a system and method for reading magnetic information by a mobile device are presented. In example embodiments, the mobile device comprises a housing having an integrated surface for swiping a magnetic swipe card and a magnetometer, positioned within the housing, for detecting direction and strength of magnetic fields to read magnetic information from a variety of sources and to produce digital magnetometer output signals. The digital magnetometer output signals represent magnetic information derived from the magnetic swipe card and from the Earth's magnetic fields (or other sources). Each of the digital magnetometer output signals having a magnitude related to the strength of the detected magnetic fields. The mobile device determines at least some of the digital magnetometer output signals represent the magnetic information derived from the magnetic swipe card and provides that information to a magnetic card application for processing. The mobile device determine at least some of the digital magnetometer output signals represent the magnetic information derived from the Earth's magnetic fields and provides that information to a compass application for processing.

Abstract:
In certain embodiments, the invention relates to systems, methods, and apparatus that allow a user to visually augment a graphical rendering of either a chemical structure representation or a biological sequence representation with multi-dimensional information. A user captures a video image using a computing device such as a hand-held smart phone, computerized eye glasses or tablet computer. The video image includes information regarding at least one of a chemical structure and a biological sequence. A processor identifies, within the video image, a graphical representation of at least one of a chemical structure and a biological structure. The processor augments the graphical representation with additional information and provides the video data for presentation upon a display controlled by the computing device. The computing device presents the video data in substantially real time in relation to the capture of the video data by the computing device.
Abstract:
A novel numerical and graphical representation has been developed to better comprehend the physicochemical, biological and pharmacokinetic properties of drug-like compounds. Abbreviated profile of drug (A-POD) would help in considering and visualizing the various compound characteristics as one entity. The salient features of A-POD are: a unique way of representing the compound properties, computer friendly numerical string representation making comparison of any properties possible, graphical representation that gives a snapshot of properties and their relative changes, and its usefulness in qualitatively predicting the ADMET properties based on chemical properties alone. This simple yet powerful web-based tool is especially useful in comparing any two compounds at one time. A new therapeutic agent can be compared with the reference compound quickly and easily, by checking which properties are affected and finding out whether it possesses better drug-like properties.
Abstract:
Methods related to the generation of shape signatures representing molecular shape, and using shape signatures in both ligand-based and receptor-based molecular design. Ray-tracing is used to explore the volume interior to a ligand, or the space exterior to a receptor site. Shape signatures are then probability distributions derived from the ray-traces. Shape signatures provide condensed descriptors of shape properties readily compared to each other to test for shape similarity or complementarity.
Abstract:
A vectorization process is employed in which chemical identifier strings are converted into respective vectors. These vectors may then be searched to identify molecules that are identical or similar to each other. The dimensions of the vector space can be defined by sequences of symbols that make up the chemical identifier strings. The International Chemical Identifier (InChI) string defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is particularly well suited for these methods.
Abstract:
The present invention generates a visual display of metabolomic data compiled by a database and associated processor. More particularly, the present invention provides a database for automatically receiving a three-dimensional spectrometry data set for a group of samples. The present invention also provides a processor device for manipulating the data sets to produce plots that are directly comparable to a plurality of characteristic plots corresponding to a plurality of selected metabolites. Furthermore, the processor device may generate a visual display indicating the presence of the selected metabolites across the group of samples. Thus, the present invention enables a user to analyze a series of complex data sets in a visual display that may indicate the presence of the selected metabolites across the group of samples. Furthermore, the visual display generated by embodiments of the present invention also expedites the subjective analysis of the spectrometry data sets.
Abstract:
Described is a technique to exhaustively enumerate the thermodynamic properties of the water molecules solvating the active site of a protein in its apostate and calculate the relative binding affinities of congeneric compounds that bind to this protein. The subject matter includes sampling the configurations of the solvating water in the active site; extracting the thermodynamic information about the solvating water from these configurations by clustering the observed water configurations into regions of high water occupancy (e.g., “hydration sites”), computing the average system interaction energies of water molecules occupying the various hydrations sites, computing excess entropies of water molecules occupying the hydration sites; constructing a 3 dimensional hydration thermodynamics map of the protein active site; and computing relative binding affinities of congeneric ligands based on the principle that tighter binding ligands can displace more entropically structured and energetically depleted hydration sites from the active site into the bulk fluid.
