Flare sneak peek

Take a sneak peek at Flare, our new structure-based design application. See how the innovative features and new science combine to give you new insights into structure-based design.

Blaze used in discovery of allosteric modulators of the high affinity choline transporter

Scientists from Pfizer, Neusentis, Nanion, and Kissei have identified 9 new active small molecules that modulate the pathway of interest. 5 of these were identified from the Pfizer corporate compound library using a set of 887 compounds chosen using Cresset’s Blaze virtual screening software.

Cresset signs strategic alliance agreement to speed up drug design

Our collaboration with the school of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Sun Yat-Sen University, and iPrecision Medicine Technology Inc., brings together expertise and innovation in development technologies for computational molecule design.

  • April 2nd – 6th: ACS, San Francisco, CA, USA. Cresset applications will feature in the following oral/poster presentations:
    • Improving new molecule design using electrostatics
    • Putting electrostatics and water at the center of structure-based drug design
    • Combining protein interaction potentials with water analysis in structure-based design
    • Adding pharmacophores to shape and electrostatics – too much of a good thing
    • Understanding protein-ligand binding at the molecular level: Using swap-based methods to visualise binding free energy components
    • Visualising the molecular drivers behind drug resistance
  • April 24th – 27th: Drug Discovery Chemistry, San Diego, CA, USA
    • Meet David Bardsley at booth 404 for a preview of Flare, our new structure-based design application
