Well, I'm a student doing a project on the bioinformatics database debate.  The conclusion of my paper speculates on the exponential increase in simulated proteins given rapid increases in proteomics research using molecular dynamics simulation.  This rise will be especially important for nanotech applications as well.  So I've contacted one attorney who is a PhD--JD and will be asking here some questions, but wanted to get a general feel for what this group thought.   You think it would be problematic for the usefulness, but if I had the best model of a simulation of a protein ligand docking situation, it seems the utility component would be there.

What you say may be correct.  You should keep in mind, however, that any patent on the simulated protein would likely not cover use of the real-world protein.  Your attorney can advise you better on that, however, based on your disclosure to him.
