I'm no expert, but I have explored his problem in the past as I understand that protein folding simulations are considered by some to be the constraint of biological life extension. Protein folding is an intractable N-body simulation problem that relies on number of different methods to approximate the 3D state of the protein throughout its folding sequence.
In reviewing the patent, it looks like this is an incremental improvement to simulation based off some findings in recent years, but does not seem to be any kind of breakthrough in understanding of proteins. Something called 'Vibration Mode' seems to be an empirical observation that explains how the internal dynamic of the protein can limit the number of future 3D states based on a previously observed folding cycle, and a model of the local energy minima and maxima.
