Our Service
- Fragment Library Screening
Leveraging advanced computational tools, we conduct comprehensive virtual screenings of fragment libraries to identify promising chemical fragments for further optimization.
Our experts employ molecular modeling and simulations to optimize and grow fragment hits into lead compounds with improved potency, selectivity, and ADMET properties.
- Fragment Linking and Growing
Through a combination of fragment linking and growing strategies, we systematically expand and connect fragment hits to design lead-like molecules with improved binding affinity and pharmacological properties, guided by our proprietary algorithms and expertise.
- Lead Optimization and SAR Analysis
We employ structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis and computational chemistry techniques to iteratively optimize lead compounds, enhancing their potency, selectivity, and ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity) profiles for successful preclinical and clinical development.
Using sophisticated algorithms, we perform virtual screening of compound databases to identify potential drug candidates that interact favorably with the target of interest.
- Binding Free Energy Calculations
Employing cutting-edge methodologies, we calculate the binding affinities of compounds to their target proteins, aiding in the understanding of molecular interactions crucial for drug binding.
Through computational ADME-Tox modeling, we assess the pharmacokinetic and toxicity profiles of drug candidates to prioritize molecules with favorable characteristics for further development.
Algorithms in Fragment-based Drug Design
Fragment Selection and Prioritization
Our algorithm intelligently selects and prioritizes fragment hits based on a comprehensive analysis of binding interactions, molecular properties, and target specificity, enhancing the efficiency of lead discovery.
ADMET Prediction and Pharmacophore Modeling
Our computational capabilities extend to predicting ADMET properties and modeling pharmacophores to better understand the interactions between ligands and target proteins, facilitating the design of potent and safe drug candidates.
Iterative Feedback and Learning
Our algorithm supports iterative feedback loops, allowing for dynamic optimization strategies and continuous learning from experimental data, leading to adaptive and informed decision-making throughout the drug design pipeline.
Software We Use
We leverage the Schrödinger Suite for molecular modeling, docking studies, and structure-based drug design, enabling precise simulations and in-depth analysis of molecular interactions.
- MOE (Molecular Operating Environment)
Our team utilizes MOE for bioinformatics, structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis, and molecular visualization, empowering comprehensive studies for rational drug design.
For molecular docking simulations and binding mode predictions, we rely on AutoDock to assess ligand-protein interactions and guide the optimization of lead compounds.
