Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The invention is a method for the assembly of protein tertiary structure (Fig. 15) from known, loosely encoded secondary structure constraints and sparse information about exact side chain contacts. The method is based on a method for the reduced modeling of protein structure and dynamics where the protein , is described by representing side chain centers of mass rather than alphacarbons. The model has implicit, built-in multi-body correlations that simulate short and long range packing preferences hydrogen bonding , cooperativity, and a mean force potential describing hydrophobic interactions. The method requires a smaller number of tertiary constraints for successful fold assembly; …

Why it's free to use
- Filed January 27, 2000. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended January 27, 2020.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 27, 2022.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
