ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 28 -- United States Patent no. 12,450,409, issued on Oct. 21, was assigned to Deep EigenMatics LLC (Sugar Land, Texas).

"CAM-guided transformers for AI-based protein and drug design" was invented by Stephen Gbejule Odaibo (Sugar Land, Texas).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Systems, methods, and apparatus for peptide ligand small molecule dug design given target protein sequence and structure are presented. The methods use class activation mapping (CAM)-guided transformers to generate the ligand. Given a target protein structure, a CAM-guided structure refinement process is used to optimize the structure towards the desired ligand effect classification. The embedding of the...
