3D ligand-based drug design: webinar
In this webinar, we demonstrate intuitive workflows for 3D ligand-based drug design
Data visualisation: saying it all in a bite-sized chunk
In this webinar, we look at how we can use data visualisation in an impactful and effective way to communicate many dimensions of information. We illustrate some of the ways that we can achieve this and discuss visual methods to guide our decisions in drug discovery.
eSim3D: electrostatic-field and surface-shape similarity for ligand-based drug design
In this webinar, we present eSim3D, a novel ligand-based drug design approach based on electrostatic-field and surface-shape similarity coupled with unique conformational search capabilities, offering unprecedented accuracy and performance.
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.
Informatics for effective drug discovery
Learn how advances in informatics technology are inspiring a new generation of innovative products that streamline and enhance the efficiency and productivity of drug discovery software.
Multi-parameter optimisation in practice
This webinar describes example applications of multi-parameter optimisation to find high-quality lead compounds.
Predicting reactivity to drug metabolism: beyond P450s – modelling FMOs and UGTs
Methods for modelling two enzyme families, flavin-containing monoxygenases (FMOs) and uridine 5′-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs), to predict reactivity to drug metabolism.
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).
