Scope and claims summary:	Patent Analysis: US Patent 10881618 - "Neural Network-Based Prediction of Protein-Protein Interactions" On February 8, 2021, a United States patent titled "Neural Network-Based Prediction of Protein-Protein Interactions" was awarded to Dr. Jianzhu Ma and Jason A. Papin, inventors from the University of Illinois. With the patent number 10881618, this innovation brings forth an AI-driven approach to predicting protein-protein interactions, a vital aspect of understanding cellular biology. Scope of the Patent: The patent addresses the problem of accurately predicting protein-protein interactions (PPIs), which are crucial for understanding a wide range of biological processes. The inventors propose a novel method utilizing a neural network-based approach that integrates previously known PPIs with a large set of diverse features extracted from protein sequences. This method enhances the reliability and accuracy of PPI predictions. Claims and Innovations: The patent claims the neural network-based method as a novel way to predict PPIs using machine learning. The inventors highlight the advantage of integrating structural features, such as binding affinities, and biochemical features, like mutations, that impact a protein's interaction capability. Moreover, the predicted PPIs are refined through bootstrapping, which improves the model's robustness against noise in training data. The predictions are compared to state-of-the-art models like MASHUP and PINCH, demonstrating improved performance. According to the inventors, the proposed approach aims to help researchers accelerate discovery in the field by offering a faster and more accurate means of uncovering protein interactions. Technical Background and Prior Art: The inventors acknowledge that recent progress in deep neural networks has significantly enhanced the accuracy of PPI predictions. However, their principal achievement lies in reducing overfitting and improving robustness through the bootstrapping step and efficient fusion of different features. Implications and Impact: The implications of this breakthrough lie primarily in accelerating our understanding of protein functions, disease pathways, and potential therapeutic targets. Enhancing the accuracy and speed of prediction models leads to opportunities for novel drug targets, treatments for complex diseases, and optimized delivery methods and production pathways for pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, this AI-driven approach might benefit industry competitiveness in the discovery process, reducing the gap between established pharmaceutical discoveries and new technologies and approaches that pharmaceutical giants can possibly deploy for the possible creation of groundbreaking treatments. The neural network-based approach specified in the patent significantly reduces the complexity of making predictions about protein protein interactions. Their deep learning innovations may indicate a promising direction for streamlining research in drug development and expanding biopharmaceutical discovery capabilities in industries such as drug development.
