US Patent Issued to KUANO on April 22 for "Computer implemented method and system for small molecule drug discovery" (British Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,283,350, issued on April 22, was assigned to KUANO LTD. (London).

"Computer implemented method and system for small molecule drug discovery" was invented by Vid Stojevic (London), David Wright (London) and Jarvist Moore Frost (London).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "In a small molecule drug discovery method, a transition state for a specific enzyme is modelled using quantum mechanics and molecular dynamics based simulation of the enzyme and substrate reaction; data defining the transition state (a 'quantum pharmacophore') is fed to a machine learning engine configured to generate transition state analogues, such as enzyme inhibitors."
