Visual and easy-to-use computer help for staying critical in structure-based design

We tend to believe that PDB files are a message from God. — This recent statement from
blogger and Vertex scientist Dr. Derek Lowe ironically captures the danger of getting lost in false assumptions when working with crystal structure data.

We will use free tools and ours in this webinar to give you assistance in checking whether you are still on solid grounds with your work – or not. Be it crystal artifacts recorded, insecure assignments of N vs O vs C, wishful thinking in prior art – or just something unusual which might still be ok – There are very simple-to-use, visual indicators which we can use in our everyday work to alert us when things might get flakey.

Come and join us for minimum input and maximum output.

Structure-based virtual screening of a billion-compound library used to be a question of how much hardware you could buy. Chemical Space Docking® changed the arithmetic: instead of enumerating and docking every product, it docks the reagents that span the Chemical Space in a cost-efficient manner to get the most promising...

Chemical Space Docking® (C-S-D) is designed for computationally efficient structure-based exploration of ultra-large Chemical Spaces. But how does it compare with other approaches? When searching ultra-large Chemical Spaces, computational efficiency and algorithmic strategies are crucial if trillions of compounds are to be screened for potential candidates. The approaches used to...
