Title: Methods and systems for predicting protein-ligand coupling specificities
Inventor: GULUKOTA KAMALAKAR
IPC: G16B40/20
Filed: 2005-07-08
Abstract: The invention provides methods and systems for predicting or evaluating protein-ligand coupling specificities. A pattern recognition model can be trained by selected sequence segments of training proteins which have a specified ligand coupling specificity. Each selected sequence segment is believed to include amino acid residue(s) that may contribute to the ligand coupling specificity of the corresponding training protein. Sequence segments in a protein of interest can be similarly selected and used to query the trained model to determine if the protein of interest has the same ligand coupling specificity as the training proteins. In one embodiment, the pattern recognition model employed is a hidden Markov model which is trained by concatenated cytosolic domains of GPCRs which have interaction preference to a specified class of G proteins. This trained model can be used to evaluate G  protein coupling specificity of orphan GPCRs.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention provides a sealing apparatus for use in tubular member. In one embodiment, the sealing apparatus includes an expandable sleeve and an expandable a toroidal / ring shaped seal. The seal seats within a circumferential saddle or groove formed' in the sleeve. An exemplary seal has an enlarged diameter' portion and presents a radially outward sealing surface. During expansion, the enlarged diameter portion is compressed against the tubular member but, at least initially, the remainder of the sealing surface is not compressed. Thus, the pressure associated with the compression is focused on the limited contact area between the seal and the tubular. Continued expansion can increase the contact pressure and/or the amount of contact area. In one arrangement, the seal is configured to provide a gas tight seal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the remote configuration of a voice over IP device ("voIP device") on a local TCP/IP network, which can be implemented in software. The method includes a preliminary step of asking a user to select a voIP device from a list of one or more different voIP devices downloaded from a remote database using an Internet connection. The list can be regularly updated as new voIP devices come onto the market. The local TCP/IP network is analysed to determine one or more network settings. The method then downloads a configuration module specific to the voIP device selected by the user from a remote database using the Internet connection. The configuration module is used to determine one or more configuration parameters for the voIP device. Finally, the one or more network settings and the one or more configuration parameters are used to automatically configure the voIP  device for use on the local TCP/IP network. The method makes it much easier for a small business or domestic user to configure a voIP device without having to rely on technical assistance.
