Looking 'under the hood': using pyflare to streamline hit identification
Background Assessing the binding potency of millions of different compounds against a common protein target presents many challenges in a wet laboratory. Even with advanced lab robotics and automation platforms, wet laboratory high-throughput screening (HTS) is still hindered by time, ...
Orientate your proteins on ligand superimposition using the Flare™ Python API
The importance of protein and ligand orientation during 3D visualization The orientation of protein structures is a simple yet essential manipulation in any 3D visualization tool for medicinal and computational chemists. In silico workflows during early-stage hit and lead identificatio...
Using molecular dynamics to produce an ensemble of protein conformations for more biologically relevant docking experiments
Introductory Overview Earlier today, our Application Scientists, Abhijit Kayal and Ryuichiro Hara, led an exclusive online webinar session, focused on demonstrating how Molecular Dynamics and docking can work in synergy as an advanced research technique. ...
Identify the most active chemical structures with key desired properties through R-group decomposition and analysis
Drug discovery research often involves making small modifications to a compound and studying the subsequent effect on activity. Once a closely related series of compounds has been made and tested, it is very important to analyze which of the substituents enhances activity, and to also k...
