A high-throughput generic computational framework for rational design of allosteric drug candidates is described here. This present invention discloses identifying allosteric sites/effectors on the bases of protein dynamics and utilising knowledge on the physicochemical properties of known allosteric sites and effectors. By requiring a bare minimum of a 3D structure information of a protein of interest, Allosteric Fingerprints are computed by perturbing residues or segments of the protein and quantifying allosteric signalling. A set of binding patches of interest is identified from analysing Allosteric Fingerprints, and one or more compounds are then identified based on allosteric modulation value and predicted binding free energy, resulting in one or more allosteric site-effector pairs, which provide desirable allosteric modulation of targeted function. Further optimization of site-effector pairs is achieved by simultaneous and mutual adjustments between binding sites and effectors, in respective identification and prioritization steps.

An object detection network training method includes receiving images showing an object and comprising a ground truth bounding box, and ground truth mask, for the object. Image features are extracted and bounding boxes are predicted for the object. A combined loss is calculated for the bounding boxes, comprising a bounding box regression loss between the one or more predicted bounding boxes and the ground truth bounding box for the object in the image, and an instance coverage loss of the one or more predicted bounding boxes relative to ground truth mask. A bounding box regression network is updated using the combined loss, and the process repeats until convergence. The object detection network can then determine a final bounding box based on the boxes predicted by the trained regression network.

A computer system for analysing liquid chromatography electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) data. The computer system is configured to implement a raw data processor that extracts a mass spectrum based on data at each retention time and a base peak signal intensity derived from the peak apex and the baseline, from a base peak chromatogram derived from raw LC- ESI-MS data. The system also implements a fingerprinting system performing background correction for detected peaks, producing a m/z value by subtracting mass over charge (m/z) values of the baseline from an original m/z value and, if the resulting m/z value is positive, restoring the original m/z value. The fingerprinting system generates a compact data representation comprising, for each detected peak, the retention time, original m/z values and intensities, and performs chemical fingerprinting for the raw LC-ESI-MS data based on the compact data representation.
