Workshop Description

With the ever-growing number of commercially available compounds, the resulting collections are becoming larger and larger. The latest trend extends into the billions or even trillions of accessible compounds, which can no longer be searched using conventional methods on a local computer.

eXplore belongs to a new generation of ultra-large screening collections that serve as a source for novel IP and molecular scaffolds in drug discovery. Its approach: accessing relevant chemistry faster, more efficiently, and at a lower cost. Thanks to its architecture, the trillion-sized eXplore can be searched within seconds for molecules that meet the needs of a project.

This workshop will highlight the medicinal and computational perspectives on eXplore and showcase its advantages over common compound libraries.

Why Is the Workshop Relevant for Me?

Compound vendors are evolving, and with them, their catalogs are expanding. However, navigating the seemingly endless lists requires a fundamental understanding of the architecture of various design approaches to fully unlock their true potential.

The approach is currently being examined in more detail to understand where strong foundations already exist and where molecule collections still have certain blind spots. Every medicinal and computational chemist should be aware of these—either to leverage them to their advantage or to avoid pitfalls in in-house screening.
