5 results about "Structural biology" patented technology

Structural biology is a branch of molecular biology, biochemistry, and biophysics concerned with the molecular structure of biological macromolecules (especially proteins, made up of amino acids, RNA or DNA, made up of nucleotides, membranes, made up of lipids) how they acquire the structures they have, and how alterations in their structures affect their function. This subject is of great interest to biologists because macromolecules carry out most of the functions of cells, and it is only by coiling into specific three-dimensional shapes that they are able to perform these functions. This architecture, the "tertiary structure" of molecules, depends in a complicated way on each molecule's basic composition, or "primary structure."

ActiveCN121687215BData visualisationBiostatisticsStructural biologyData set
A protein structure-density map fitting method based on feature point matching belongs to the field of bioinformatics and structural biology, constructs a protein complex structure dataset, converts the structure into a unified resolution point set through voxelization and uniform sampling, and adopts the farthest point sampling to construct a multi-resolution point set to depict scale geometry; a deep learning network is adopted to learn the rotation equivariant and invariant features of the structure and the density map under multi-resolution, and a geometric self-attention mechanism based on nearest neighbor layer-by-layer expansion is introduced at the neck to enhance the representation; a coarse-to-fine feature point matching strategy is adopted in the training stage, combined with a superpoint matching loss, a point-level matching loss and a contrast rotation loss optimization; in the inference stage, multi-scale and hybrid sampling are adopted, and candidate poses are generated through translation mask, the candidate poses are screened and optimized according to the structure-density map fitting score, and the final fitting result is output. The present application can realize high-precision and high-efficiency structure-density map fitting under complex conditions.
