A composition-of-matter comprising a crystallized form of a large ribosomal (50S) subunit of a pathogenic bacterium, and the atomic coordinates of the three-dimensional structure thereof are provided herein, as well as methods for crystallizing the same, and using the atomic coordinates of the same to design de novo ligands with high specificity thereto.

A system and method that given one or more input molecules, produces a contextualized summary of characteristics of related target molecules, e.g., proteins. Using a knowledge graph which is populated with all known molecules, input molecules are analyzed according to various similarity indexes which relate the input molecules to target proteins or other biological entities. The knowledge graph may also comprise scientific literature, governmental data (FDA clinical phase data), private research endeavors (general assays, etc.), and other related biological data. The summary produced may comprise target proteins that satisfy certain biological properties, general assay results (ADMET characteristics), related diseases, off-target molecule interactions (non-targeted molecules involved in a specific pathway or cascade), market opportunities, patents, experiments, and new hypothesis.

Cell free nucleic acids from a test sample obtained from an individual are analyzed to identify possible fusion events. Cell free nucleic acids are sequenced and processed to generate fragments. Fragments are decomposed into kmers and the kmers are either analyzed de novo or compared to targeted nucleic acid sequences that are known to be associated with fusion gene pairs of interest. Thus, kmers that may have originated from a fusion event can be identified. These kmers are consolidated to generate gene ranges from various genes that match sequences in the fragment. A candidate fusion event can be called given the spanning of one or more gene ranges across the fragment.

A computer-readable recording medium storing a feature amount calculation program for causing a computer to execute processing including: receiving structure specifying information indicating a type of each of atomic groups and a sequence of the atomic groups regarding a cyclic molecule in which the atomic groups classified into a plurality of types is cyclically sequenced; specifying an optional first type and an optional second type in the plurality of types; specifying, based on the structure specifying information, one or more of first atomic groups classified into the first type and one or more of second atomic groups classified into the second type out of the atomic groups; and calculating, based on the structure specifying information, a number of pairs of the first atomic group and the second atomic group in which a mutual distance in the sequence between the first atomic group and the second atomic group is a distance.

Methods for identifying compounds that are inhibitors or are likely to be inhibitors of amyloid protein aggregation, as well as three-dimensional, non-crystallographic models (i.e. “pseudo-crystal structures”) of amyloid aggregation utilized in the methods, are described. Means for creating the three-dimensional, non-crystallographic models (i.e. “pseudo-crystal structures”) of amyloid aggregation are also described.
