161 Molecular interaction sites of interleukin-2 RNA and methods of modulating the same US09310844 1999-05-12 US06969763B1 2005-11-29 David J. Ecker; Richard Griffey; Stanley T. Crooke; Ranga Sampath; Eric Swayze; Venkatraman Mohan; Steven Hofstadler; John McNeil
Methods for the identification of compounds which modulate, either inhibit or stimulate, biomolecules are provided. Nucleic acids, especially RNAs are preferred substrates for such modulation. The present methods are particularly powerful in that they provide novel combinations of techniques which give rise to compounds, usually “small” organic compounds, which are highly potent modulators of RNA and other biomolecular activity. In accordance with preferred aspects of the invention, very large numbers of compounds may be tested essentially simultaneously to determine whether they are likely to interact with a molecular interaction site and modulate the activity of the biomolecule. Pharmaceuticals, veterinary drugs, agricultural chemicals, industrial chemicals, research chemicals and many other beneficial compounds may be identified in accordance with embodiments of this invention.
162 Method and computer program product for designing combinatorial arrays US09794106 2001-02-28 US06671627B2 2003-12-30 Dimitris K. Agrafiotis; Victor S. Lobanov; Francis Raymond Salemme
A greedy method for designing combinatorial arrays. An array of reagents are initially selected from a list of candidate reagents in a combinatorial library. The reagents in the array that maximize a design objective are determined in an iterative manner, by examining each variation site in the combinatorial library in a strictly alternating sequence. During each step, each candidate reagent at a given variation site is evaluated by constructing and evaluating the sub-array resulting from the systematic combination of that reagent with the selected reagents at all the other variation sites in the library. The candidate reagents at that variation site are ranked according to the fitness of their respective sub-arrays, and the reagents with the highest fitness are selected. The process is repeated for each variation site in the combinatorial library, until the fitness of the full combinatorial array can no longer be improved.
163 Method for selecting an optimally diverse library of small molecules based on validated molecular structural descriptors US09776708 2001-02-05 US20030167128A1 2003-09-04 Richard D. Cramer; Robert D. Clark
The use for biological screening purposes of a subset (library) of a large combinatorially accessible chemical universe increases the efficiency of the screening process only if the subset contains members representative of the total diversity of the universe. In order to insure inclusion in the subset of molecules representing the total diversity of the universe under consideration, valid molecular descriptors which quantitatively reflect the diversity of the molecules in the universe are required. A unique validation method is used to examine both a new three dimensional steric metric and some prior art metrics. With this method, the relative usefulness/validity of individual metrics can be ascertained from their application to randomly selected literature data sets. By the appropriate application of validated metrics, the method of this invention selects a subset of a combinatorial accessible chemical universe such that the molecules of the subset are representative of all the diversity present in the universe and yet do not contain multiple members which represent the same diversity (oversample). The use of the neighborhood definition of a validated metric may also be used to combine (without oversampling the same diversity) any number of combinatorial screening libraries.

167 Knowledge-based process for the development of materials US09921929 2001-08-06 US20020086791A1 2002-07-04 Enrique Iglesia; Laurent Kieken; Matthew Neurock
A catalyst development engine for providing a rapid approach to the rational development of scalable heterogeneous catalysts and of high-performance solid materials. The catalyst development engine includes three main components: the high-throughput data generation cycle, the knowledge generation cycle, and the knowledge repository or database. The high-throughput data generation cycle rapidly generates high quality data in a high-throughput mode for the virtual and experimental evaluation of new catalytic materials and also generates data on well-characterized systems for use in the knowledge generation cycle. The knowledge generation cycle generates working hypotheses, relating performance to key catalyst properties, which guide the search for better catalysts, and generates fundamental structure-property relationships required in order to select catalysts for further experimental evaluation in the high-throughput cycle. Both cycles run concurrently with the theoretical and experimental modules highly integrated. Catalyst synthesis modules use methods such as impregnation, precipitation, and others. Catalyst evaluation is done free of transport limitations to generate kinetic data which can be used in the knowledge cycle. Such an approach accelerates development and scale-up of new materials without the impediments introduced by conventional combinatorial approaches based on randomly selected materials prepared under unrealistic and difficult to scale up conditions.
