[ccp4bb] Regarding Patents

A related question. If you have a crystal structure and found a novel ligand binding site that can be used to regulate protein activity, could you patent such "binding site"? If not, how to make the best use of such findings? I would say that the best one can do with important novel

Re: [ccp4bb] Regarding Patents

You cannot patent the “binding site” because it is found in nature (you did not invent it, you discovered it and patents are only granted for inventions). I think you could patent compounds that bind that site if they are not the exact natural ligands. - Francisco On Fri, Nov 3, 2017 at 9:14 PM

Realistically, if you live in the US and 5 SCOTUS judges agree you can patent anything. On Fri, Nov 3, 2017 at 09:45 Francisco Tenjo wrote: > Hi. > > A mutated DNA or protein molecule can be patented if the mutations are not > present in nature and they have a technical

Re: [ccp4bb] Regarding Patents

Hi. A mutated DNA or protein molecule can be patented if the mutations are not present in nature and they have a technical effect (for example, in the case of antibodies, you could have increased affinity for an antigen if you make the right mutations of the CDRs). Also, the mutations should not
