Method for rapidly approximating similarities
Issued US US 8706427 B2
Methods and algorithms are presented that implement linear algebraic techniques for rapidly estimating chemical similarities for several popular measures. The methods of the present invention reflect source similarity measures for both Tanimoto calculation and rank ordering. After a precalculation step on a database, the methods of the present invention afford several orders of magnitude of speedup in database screening. The present invention also provides an asymptotic speedup for large…
Methods and algorithms are presented that implement linear algebraic techniques for rapidly estimating chemical similarities for several popular measures. The methods of the present invention reflect source similarity measures for both Tanimoto calculation and rank ordering. After a precalculation step on a database, the methods of the present invention afford several orders of magnitude of speedup in database screening. The present invention also provides an asymptotic speedup for large similarity matrix construction problems, reducing the number of conventional slow similarity evaluations required from quadratic to linear scaling.

Accelerated molecular dynamics of proteins and other biomolecules
Issued US WO 2009151696 A3
Embodiments herein relate to the field of computational biochemistry, in particular to accelerated molecular dynamics of proteins and other biomolecules. Various embodiments disclosed herein include methods, systems, and apparatus for determining the state, for example the kinetics or thermodynamics, of a biomolecule system. In some embodiments, the methods include partitioning the system's degrees of freedom into a subspace and a subspace complement according to frequency using Normal Mode…
Embodiments herein relate to the field of computational biochemistry, in particular to accelerated molecular dynamics of proteins and other biomolecules. Various embodiments disclosed herein include methods, systems, and apparatus for determining the state, for example the kinetics or thermodynamics, of a biomolecule system. In some embodiments, the methods include partitioning the system's degrees of freedom into a subspace and a subspace complement according to frequency using Normal Mode Analysis (NMA), determining a harmonic approximation to the system around an initial equilibrium structure using a Mass Reweighted Hessian (MRH) of a biomolecular force field, using the partitioning to construct a damping matrix for the Langevin equation that overdamps and propagates high frequency modes using Brownian dynamics, propagating the low frequency modes using full Langevin dynamics, and accelerating the Brownian dynamics on the high frequency modes using an energy minimization. A coarse-grained normal mode analysis (CNMA) is also presented that enables application of this approach to very large proteins and long timescales.
