Reaction-based library enumeration webinar
In this webinar, we demonstrated how to generate virtual libraries by applying tractable, robust chemical reactions to readily available building blocks in a highly flexible and user-friendly environment.
From similarity to SAR
In this webinar, we present a flexible and intuitive framework in which similarity relationships can be interactively navigated to quickly interpret the results, identify important structure-activity relationships (SAR) and use that SAR in new compound design.
Multi-parameter optimisation in practice
This webinar describes example applications of multi-parameter optimisation to find high-quality lead compounds.
XGen: real-space fitting of complex ligand conformational ensembles to x-ray electron density maps
We report a new method for X-ray density ligand fitting and refinement that is suitable for a wide variety of small-molecule ligands, including macrocycles.
Translational toxicology: data visualisation across phases
This webinar focused on the design of visualisation software for translational toxicology, with particular reference to the challenges that the many different sources of toxicology data pose.
Structure- and ligand-based virtual screening on DUD-E+: performance dependence on approximations to the binding pocket
Using the DUD-E+ benchmark, we explore the impact of using a single protein pocket or ligand for virtual screening compared with using ensembles of alternative pockets, ligands, and sets thereof.
Predicting pKa using a combination of quantum mechanical and machine learning methods
This study aimed to create a model for predicting pKa using a semi-empirical quantum mechanics (QM) approach combined with machine learning (ML).
Complex macrocycle exploration: parallel, heuristic, and constraint-based conformer generation using ForceGen
ForceGen is both faster and more accurate than the best of all tested methods on a very large, independently curated benchmark of 2859 PDB ligands. In this study, the primary results are on macrocycles, including results for 431 unique examples from four separate benchmarks.
Avoiding missed opportunities by analysing the sensitivity of our decisions
This peer-reviewed article, published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, describes how identifying sensitive criteria can highlight new avenues for exploration, and assist us in avoiding missed opportunities
Avoiding missed opportunities by analysing the sensitivity of our decisions
In this webinar we discussed how you can ensure that you don’t miss valuable opportunities due to the criteria used…

Knowledge-guided docking: accurate prospective prediction of bound configurations of novel ligands using Surflex-Dock
We present an approach that uses structural information known prior to a particular cutoff-date to make predictions on ligands whose bounds structures were determined later. The knowledge-guided docking protocol was tested on a set of ten protein targets using a total of 949 ligands.
A structure-guided approach for protein pocket modeling and affinity prediction
We present a hybrid structure-guided strategy that combines molecular similarity, docking, and multiple-instance learning such that information from protein structures can be used to inform models of structure–activity relationships.
Chemical Structural Novelty: On-Targets and Off-Targets
To compare chemical structures, we can look at a number of 2D and 3D characteristics. In this paper, a group of 358 drugs with overlapping pharmacology were assessed for chemical similarity, using a new framework.
Automatic QSAR modeling of ADME properties: blood-brain barrier penetration and aqueous solubility
Summary In this study, our researchers combined an automatic model generation process for building QSAR models with the Gaussian Processes…
