RE: AMGN Repatha patents

Delayed thought on this issue, ...blind was able to see that Praluent infringe 3 Repatha "designee" patents. Those 3 patents cover antibody interaction with target PCSK9 (certain epitope/a. acid residues in protein 3D structure). So, can patent cover surrogate substrate-target interaction, and is this "invention" true invention? For instance, point of interaction between small molecule substrate and activity pocket of enzyme can be described from crystal structure, and protect invention from any replication. Any small molecule that bind this pocket and interact with specific "a. acids residue" infringe innovation. I am not sure is there any similar case in bio-sector that can explain similar IP procedure and right protection??? Does anyone have one?
